I did run into the same situation, when I first called I talked to a young salesman, he informed me that it was 32 oz, on the website it says 1/2L, someone replied on this post that he was under the same impression that it was 1/2L. I called the other day and spoke to the owner and he assured me they were in fact 32 oz, they are due here any min, so I will surely post the info.

Well the SS Bottles just came, they are if fact 1L, the bottle and cap are very sturdy, the only thing I don't like is the thin chain and the thin strip of spot welded metal that the split ring is attached to on the bottle, other than that very well made. The 1 5/8 in opening is wide enough to get a fork or spoon in but with the bottle being 8 in deep would be hard pressed to get to the bottom, but then I doubt anyone would be eating prime rib out of it. It comes with two rubber O rings, one is quite a bit larger than the other, not sure why, the smaller makes for a nice tight seal. The bottle sits in the cup a little more loosely than I would like to have seen, maybe I can find a large O ring to go around the bottle as there is a ridge on the bottle that lines up with the cup nicely, should snug it up. Now the SS cup was $6.00 dollars extra and I think neither the $21.00 for the bottle or the $6.00 for the cup were wasted as far as the quality goes, I'm sure others as well as myself would like a lower price. The handles on the cup are sturdy and as the bottle the cup is very sturdy. Over all weight doesn't seem to be anymore than a metal military canteen and cup combo.

All said and done, I'm quite happy with my purchase. If anyone has any other questions I will do my best to answer them.

PS: I just figured out why the one O ring is larger, they must have put the wrong one in, the other I just opened had two the same size..... Mystery solved....LOL

I checked mine tonight and it is 32 oz to just below the neck and 4 more to level full. In the cold I would not go above the Quart (1 L might be a problem if it froze). The cup is 20 oz level full.

I got my Wiggy's bottle the other day and within 24 hours it was rusting. It looks like it's coming from the seam around the bottom. Anyone else have this issue? My bottle also came with two different sized gaskets.
Customer service said to return the bottle with no questions, so Im guessing this is might be a common problem. They did not say if I would be reimbursed for my return shipping costs.

Hello all,

I found this site yesterday while searching for a stainless steel canteen.

It looks like alot of good info and fun can be had here so I joined.


Anyone know where this canteen can be purchased?

The company appears to be out of business.

I received a quote from DHKI - the bottle alone was around $80, the cup another $20 or so (I can't recall exactly - only that it was pretty high).

For $100 they should have included Perrier. I think we can guess why they are OOB.

Well that's not cool.

It looked like one of the nicest steel canteens I've seen.

Go to a good G.I. surplus store and get a WWll Canteen and cup.
(stainles steel) They are not cheap now days $20 to $30 bucks.
