Paul R:

While I do not actually own any of the Specter water cans, I have access to some when needed. These storage containers are very robust, they need to be for military use. I have seen them fall from the back of a BLM fire truck in the desert onto lava rocks without breaking; this was at slow speeds though. I would not know how exactly they would hold up having fallen from the same height (about 4-5 ft.) at 60 MPH onto asphalt, such as, the I-5. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The container is a food grade plastic to keep taste out and to increase the durability. The lids (3) are Large; for filling and quick dumping, filling a pot etc. Small; for filling smaller water vessels and the vent lid. Both the big and the small lids thread on and off and the vent lid is just lifted. They are sealed with very good quality O-rings to prevent leaking and I have never seen one leak yet. Though not shown in the picture on the actiongear website, is a smaller 2.5 gallon container I am also familiar with. If I needed a rugged, well made and inexpensive water storage, I would buy a couple of these.

Hope this helps you.
