ALICE Canteen Pouch

The ALICE pattern canteen pouch is over 100 years old in its design: it's based on the M-1910 canteen pouch. The biggest differences are that the exterior is ballistic nylon instead of canvas, and the attachment system is no longer the wire contraption, but US ALICE clips, which are usually included.

The inside has a fuzzy faux fur lining and the bottom has a drain hole/grommet. In hot weather the pouch is drenched in water, the lining soaks up a good bit of it. As the water vaporizes, it keeps the contents cool for a longer time. Being an open-top design, the top and cap of the canteen remain outside while two snap-fastened flaps make sure the canteen doesn't fall out.

-Nylon outer, artificial fur lined, the lining insulates the canteen

-Two detachable metal keepers on the back, the pouch fits any belt under 55 mm wide and many backpacks have loops to hang these from

-Small pouch on front for water purification tablets
