Tourist canteens are useful accessories that come in handy on all kinds of camping, hiking or survival trips. The function of the canteen is still to store liquids, which are very important for proper hydration of the body. Canteens were originally part of military equipment, but over time they also entered the civilian market. They gained their popularity mainly due to their small size, the possibility of multiple use, as well as their resistance to falls. The water canteens offered in the Military store are models that will work well in many situations.
The standard capacity of a water canteen is about 1 liter, which corresponds to half the recommended amount of water for an adult's daily intake. Military canteens are also often used by scouts. Their choice is influenced not only by the mentioned small size, but also by durability and resistance to falls.
The canteens are made of strong and durable polymers or stainless steel. Thanks to these materials, the water canteen is not damaged after a fall, and retains its properties for a long time. It is also worth noting the use of materials free of BPA and other harmful compounds. Equally importantly, by being reusable, the use of canteens can support the fight for a clean environment. Using the canteens will eliminate buying drinks in plastic bottles on every trip.
The military canteen is also easier to transport than bottles and other containers. And this is due to additional handles or covers, which allow the canteen to be clipped to a backpack or belt with the MOLLE/PALS system.
