Yep, they are good. I have the bottle to go with it and prefer its more slimline design than the brit one. At about a fiver for both its so much cheaper than buying a new combo of bottle and cup brit one.

I actually think it's better than the crusader to be honest, however I'm a little biased :)

Cloggie kit is good - got one of their DPM ponchos (back when we were using 58 ponchos for bashas) and you see the odd set of Dutch GTX about too. I've had one of their waterbottles (looks like the US canteen but black and with an NBC flap on top of the lid) but it was second-hand and relegated to living inside a rainwater butt for watering the plants with...

That mug looks a lot like a 44 pattern mug, except that came with an aluminium bottle that you could allegedly boil water directly in too... The US canteen set is similar too. Had one of those before I lost the mug and got a 58/Crusader set up, good kit it was as well! There was even a little stove stand set up for the mug...

And now you can buy one of these to fit on top-I assume it is the same dimensions as the USGI version.

I don't think they are, I have a new US one quart bottle and one of these dutch cups the US bottle is slightly too big for the cup. the dutch cups are straight walled where the US ones taper down to the base so the lid may not fit.
