Regulation quality and durability

Model 52 certified by the French army, this canteen combines military robustness with a competitive price. Anodized aluminum ensures corrosion resistance and exceptional durability. Easy maintenance: rinse with hot water and let dry.

The canteens are brand new from stock and may contain some aluminum filings due to the deburring and machining of the screw thread. It is therefore strongly advised to wash the entire canteen (inside and out).

Some marks may be present on the canteen and the cup, due to storage.
