Does anyone have and use the Heavy Cover titanium canteen set. Is it worth buying or should I just stick with my crusader and plastic bottle.

Hmmm I'm not being funny it's a nice piece of kit. Shiny, titanium, lightweight. It's only a canteen, mug and lid though. I got mine, a Keith Titanium canteen, from Amazon but the prices have probably gone up about £30 - £40. I love it! I'm carrying it in a Maxpedition M4 canteen pouch but I'm being torn looking at the Centreline Mother pouch or the Helikon essentials. I'm leaning towards the Centreline Mother pouch, I like the fact you can drink from it without having to open the pouch. All said and done it only does the same as your crusader and plastic bottle. Come to the dark side ;-)
Looks Nice
But can u put it on the Fire?
I have a 40 oz. Stainless steel Clean kanteen plus stainless mug which slides on the bottom
I have the Keith titanium canteen set it is the same as the HC only without the HC logo but from the same manufacturer in china. Mine cost less than the HC and was cheaper than £100 but I got lucky.
It is a light bit of kit and yes you can put it in the fire both the cup and canteen but you need to keep the lid of the canteen out of the fire as it has a seal in the lid. It is almost the same as the old spam canteen but slightly more even in it's oval shape. mine came with a cover which has two zipped pockets to hold stuff and has a slot to hold the lid as well in the main body, the flap can be tucked in and the Y strap comes over the top to hold it in place. The canteen holds 1 litre easily so is still good if using tablets to purify. I like the set a lot and can see why many people like it. I also as you know have the mix up of the old 58 bottle set and my nalgene sets as well, but this is another set up I like especially if going out for a quick bimble in the woods and I only need a water bottle set up and not a full haversack or pouch set up.
The set is light and I keep mine filled and in the car as it is a full mini kit in itself. I will have it at the NW meet if you want to see it person before pulling the trigger to have a good look at it?
