Nalgene 1 quart canteen

If you like the US 1 quart canteen you will probably like these by Nalgene.

The 'new meets the old' :borgsmile ...http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nalgene-Oas...id=1373977395&sr=8-8&keywords=nalgene+bottles

Available in foliage and coyote. I have just ordered some for work and they are excellent. Comes with the usual Nalgene guarantees.

They look good, do they fit in the crusader style cups ?

I have these, and they're great. I believe they do fit in the crusader, but I don't actually have a crusader, so I can't say for sure. They're a great size and shape for shoving down the side of pack, and the loop is handy for carrying.

They are intended to replace the US Army 1 Qt canteens. I think they are very good. I used mine for quite a while: http://woodtrekker.blogspot.com/2011/01/blackhawk-1qt-canteen-review.html

Rob, they do fit the Crusader cup (if you a re talking about this one - http://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Product/86-Military-Stainless-Steel-Crusader-Cup/)

I have just tried and it slots in perfectly.

(Corso - were you thinking of a round Nalgene?)

no mate the 1 quart canteen is exactly the same dimensions as the US mil one IIRC they were first made under contract for Blackhawk

good to know the nato cup fits but i'm surprised as the bottles a different shape and size to the nato/osprey ones


I'll take some pics of my setup at some point but I have put together

Cheers Lee - it would be interesting to see your cook/water set up. I'll try a pic myself of the bottle and cup.

I have been using the Nalgene canteens, or "Oasis" bottles for a few years now and I love them. There is very little plastic taste and they are a handy size and shape. I carry one often in an Australian canteen pouch, similar to the ones Ray Mears sells. They do indeed fit the Crusader Cup, I just tried it. I normally carry mine in a US GI cup, about the same as a Crusader, never tried the Crusader Cup before, it does fit a bit loosely as the 58 pattern bottles are a bit wider than the Nalgene canteen.

The lids are easily replaceable also, I can buy them at the REI store about 5 miles away. I keep some spares about. Cheers!
