USGI canteen and cup in osprey pouch?

[Feisty_Forager]

How well does a USGI canteen and cup fit in an osprey water bottle pouch?
I know the osprey water bottle is larger, so I was thinking it might be too loose.

I like the idea of the flip top cover, vs the Y yoke closure of the current US canteen carrier.


Thanks.

The bottle is smaller but its taller overall, and about the same width, i wouldn't worry. Pack it out with a meal pouch, filter bag, puri tabs and some brew kit.

Just a bit of info, this lid is a perfect fit for the standard mug and improves the boil time;

Put the lid in the pouch first, mug/bottle on top and you barely notice it.
