Back to the future.
The funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. The old military canteen returns, as a green solution to carrying water. It seems they’re lining the canvas with waterproof material, which may ruin the wet-the-canvas-to-cool-the-water trick. Then again, I suppose noone wants a soggy iPhone ...

I suppose it would be a bit much (today - the limit for “bit much” changes fast lately) to see lawyers etc wearing camelbacks.
I salute the manufacturers for going straight to stainless. The interim (Vietnam era) plastic bottles left a foul taste to the water.
Camelbacks don’t taste so great, either. Even when you douse ‘em regularly with the fizzy cleaner stuff.
Stainless bike bottles ... hmmm. Maybe I should invest in a couple, but on the terrain around here, I tend to pop them out without realizing. Perhaps they’ll make enough noise when they hit the dirt (pavement, whatever) that I’ll notice they’ve ejected prematurely.

Especially funny given the military has shifted entirely to Camelbacks for hands-free hydration.
