A very simple aluminum canteen. Volume probably 0,85 liters. The color is a special Soviet blend of greenish-brown with a hint of mud and despair, left untreated on the inside of the bottle.
Usage
Even though the bottles would be issued to Soviet soldiers as is, the European Union probably thinks these are not fit for drinking purposes. If you happen to consider using it as an actual hydration bottle, we have some tips for preparing it before first use:
- 1. Fill the bottle with sand and shake it for about 5 minutes. Pour the sand out.
- 2. Wash the bottle and fill it again with water containing baking soda. Let sit for the night.
- 3. Pour the water out and wash the bottle with a regular bottle brush, rinse afterward.
- 4. The bottle is now ready for use.
Condition
Although most of these appeared unissued, they might come with dents and scratches, and other marks of long storage. We do recommend cleaning before use.
Remove Russia
Our old product descriptions include ironic praise of our eastern neighbor and it used to be good fun. Does it piss you off? We understand and agree. However, we won't whitewash the old product descriptions. Instead, we have decided to stop buying Russian products. We sell what we have in stock and that's it.

Mutta kaikesta huolimatta ajaa asiansa taskun kanssa. Sopivan kokoinen ja pitää sisällään vettä. Pullon saa talvella vaatteiden alle vartalon lähelle helposti muotonsa ansiosta, jotta veden saa pysymään sulana. Oma pulloni on vm 1971 ja olen sitä kymmenisen vuotta käyttänyt. Aluksi aktiivisemmin ja nyt harvemmin, mutta se toimii ja ajaa asiansa.
