Keith Titanium Authentic Ti3060 Plastic-Free Canteen Mess Kit - Ultralight Carry Pouch ●●●●●●● Celebrating Over a Decade: Special Milestone Price for The Canteen Legacy!

Update2: After using it just as my daily drinking cup for several months, I found something that is concerning. Not sure if it is a health risk yet. The whole canteen and the cap are made of titanium. And when screwing the cap on the canteen, the friction is titanium vs titanium. Which is not smooth. And it inevitably shed off small flakes of titanium that falls into the water. Some of them will go into my body as I drink the water. I worry this will create health issues in the long run. Update1: Conclusion: This is a very high quality set of titanium canteen. I highly recommend it to people who can afford it. It is extremely light weight (so light to a point that I didn't trust it's rigidity at first), it feels nice in hand (hard to explain, it just feels nice to touch), it adds no taste and no smell, it heats up quickly. It is the ultimate canteen set. There is only one part in this set that is not titanium. That's the O-ring. Everything else is titanium. The whole set looks and feels like an designer's item. Some people find the o-ring easy to fall off. Fortunately, mine is fine. It stays there pretty tight. Either they has fixed the issue or I am just lucky. The titanium is so neutral that it revealed the smell of my water. The canteen itself has no smell and adds no taste at all. But when I first used it to drink water, I kept smelling some weird smell. At first I thought it was the canteen, and I was planning to give it a 4 star or 3 star rating. But after several experiments and some investigation, I discovered that the smell is actually from the water itself. I've been drinking this type of 1 gallon packed spring water over a year and never realized that it has smells. The titanium material on this canteen feels soft. It's probably because that it's grade 1 pure titanium. Grade 1 titanium is the most soft type. At first I worry that this canteen set will be prone to dent and other damages. The material is so thin and so light. It also feels soft. But after some days of usage, I found it holding together well. I don't know whether it will be as strong as other steel canteens, but it surely is much stronger than I first thought.

I really like this canteen set. It is impressively light, and feels very durable, however I've not put it through much stress yet to find out. The carrying bag seems to be of decent quality, however the one I received is not digital camo. Instead, it's a solid coyote-brown color, which I don't really mind. The color is very close to the coyote brown Belleville boots that I have, making the carrying case adaptable for either woodland or desert environments in terms of color. The capacity is great. Being able to boil 1L (plus 700ml cooking cup) of water at a time is a big plus. I've found that the lid is perfectly fine. I was concerned about the cap originally after reading a reviewer complaining about it having 'coarse threads' that can't be tightened down, but that is entirely false. You can tighten the lid down very tight (there's also a silicon O-ring in the cap that helps with the seal), and even when being completely full the canteen will not leak any water when being held upside down. My only complaint with this canteen is that it's manufactured in China. I generally try my best to avoid Chinese manufactured products. At this price, I would have greatly preferred to see it made in the US or somewhere in Europe. Despite being Chinese made, it appears to have solid build quality.

I was very hesitant to purchase this due to the high cost. But like everything quality is key. First impressions of the supplied cover: Molle straps are very well made as is the whole cover. Fit is good, not loose nothing rattles. The canteen and cup are a good fit, there is no room to rattle which makes it nice, no excess noise when hiking. Feel is good, I have no other experience with titanium but find the finish is great and would and have recommended it to friends and coworkers. The cup is a bit smaller than expected, but big enough for one person easily. Update 2-11-18: so ran it through its paces finally. The cup is definitely a single serve but perfect for one. The canteen needed to be filled with two cups of hot water to be full for the cold night. I am still amazed at how light this is compared to a stainless version. Heat distribution is excellent and boils water quickly in direct heat. Well worth the extra cost.

Every review tells you how expensive these are, but they’re worth every bit of it in my opinion. I’m using them 2-3 times a week. You get a flame proof canteen, an ultra lightweight cup that’s proportional for a single individual, and a perfectly fitted lid. I simply haven’t used any of my other titanium messware since I got these. Definitely I would recommend them to anyone who likes to put miles on their hiking boots.

Summary: I like the canteen itself, but I think the case could use some improvement. The canteen itself is great. I own several products from Keith Titanium, and they are all well-made. It is important to note that this canteen holds 37.2 fluid ounces (1.1L), which is larger than the 1 quart (947 mL) canteen used by the US military. I will mention that again below. I was a bit disappointed by the fabric case. It seems to be well constructed, but I'm not a fan of the brown digital camouflage color. I would prefer a standard "olive drab" green, to match my web belt. Also, I believe that the case was originally designed for a 1-quart canteen. The included case has a drawstring, but it is too low to effectively retain the canteen. You have to use the brown webbed strap to hold it in place, and it's a tight fit to get it over the canteen. Initially I had hoped that this canteen was the same external dimensions as a standard 1-qt US military surplus canteen, and I even went so far as to order a US military surplus canteen cover, but since the Keith Titanium canteen is larger than a standard canteen, it does not fit. The Keith Titanium is a bit too tall to fit in the standard military surplus cover. Overall, my opinion is still positive, which is why I'm giving the product four stars. The canteen itself is excellent, but I think the case needs improvement. If you like the fact that you can carry an extra 5.2 fluid ounces (154 mL) of liquid, then you will like this canteen. If you're hoping for a canteen that is a drop-in replacement for the US military surplus plastic canteen, then you may be disappointed. I am attaching some photographs below. As I mentioned above, the US military surplus web belt and green canteen case were purchased separately and NOT included. As you can see, the Keith Titanium canteen is larger than a standard 1-quart US military canteen, so the green case is too small. Also, you can see that the drawstring on the included case is too low to effectively retain the canteen. Ideally it should be over the shoulder of the canteen, which is why I think this case was originally intended for a smaller canteen.

Edited 09/2019 to add some more info after a few real world camping trips. After taking this camping a couple of times I am still very pleased except for one thing. The lid for the cup ended up warping slightly after getting too hot. I would sometimes place the cup in the fire with the lid on to boil water. One time the lid came off and went straight in the coals. I did not think anything of it, and fished it out after a minute or so. I later found that the heat had caused the lid to warp slightly in the middle. This meant it would no longer fit snugly in the cup and would pop off. I eventually had to bend it back slightly, but it was not as perfect a fit as when I bought it. Will contact the seller to see about a replacement and post updates. UPDATE: The company was more than happy to send me a replacement lid for the cup free of cost. And yes, the canteen has developed that lovely "blueing" titanium gets. It now looks beautiful. Dropping $150 on a canteen mess kit seems foolish, but then you have to remember that when it comes to camping equipment, you should only have to buy it once and then keep it for the rest of your life. This is no exception. First of all, it's titanium so it's light as hell and tough as the devil. The canteen has a nice wide mouth(Good if you want to add ice cubes or use a water filter), and the silicone o-ring in the lid(which has a carrying ring) makes sure it doesn't leak. The cup has a nice two piece handle that locks ever so slightly off-center, and the lid that comes with it fits so snugly that you can fill the cup with liquid, turn it over and the lid will not come off. It's not watertight so it will leak slightly, but that's not the point. the point is to keep the lid on. A lot of titanium camping gear and cookware that have lids usually fit flush but snug enough to stay on and so will fall off if jostled or moved(Looking at you, Toaks!). Speaking of which the lid has a carrying ring on top. This is so that if you wanted to lightly place the lid onto the cup while it's on a bed of coals, you can use a stick to lift it up to see if the contents are boiling. Well, I did a little test and if you are careful and the lid is placed on tight, you can lift a full cup just by the ring on the lid. Again, it's not foolproof, you can't just yank it around and hope for the best, but used with a light touch it is a nice touch. So far the bag that came with it seems solid enough and the belt straps are thick and durable. There is an inside extra strip of nylon fabric that goes around the inside middle for extra strength. When the complete kit is placed in the bag and on held on one's belt, it's quite easy to undo the clasp, flip back the holding straps and lift the canteen out of the bag for easy access, leaving the cup at the bottom of the bag. The straps were stiff at first, but a few minutes of kneading and stretching them, they 'gave' a bit more. There is a pocket on the inside of the bag to hold the lid for the cup. The most minor quibble I can think of is that the grommets holding the belt straps to the bag are not covered by fabric on the inside, and will probably end up scratching the finish. It can easily be remedied if you care to with some stick-on felt pads, but let's face it: Camping equipment should show wear and tear and you should not allow yourself to be bothered by it. The shoulder carrying straps are adequate. They're not the thick nylon webbing that the belt loops are made of, but that's OK as well, it would have been overkill and merely added more weight. As it is, I'll probably just use the belt straps. There is also no rattle whatsoever when the entire set or just the canteen is placed in the bag, empty or full, something which I very much appreciate. If I'm outdoors enjoying some peace and quiet the last thing I want to hear is a clinking or rattling. The bag is the only thing I can see eventually needing maintenance with extended use but so far, so good. If I have any issue with it I will amend my review but for now I am EXTREMELY pleased. Incredibly light, incredibly durable, understatedly stylish enough so that it doesn't look like something for, as another reviewer on this item stated, a "Mall Ninja" or "Paul Blart: Rugged Outdoorsman And Stoic Veteran Who's Seen Some THINGS, Man!". This is something I could put in a carry on for long flights or bring to work and not look like I'm writing a manifesto in my Montana cabin during.my spare time. I'm looking forward to using this on a campfire and seeing the titanium finish acquire that beautiful blue-ish rainbow hue once it oxidizes. I didn't receive this as a gift or a promotional freebie for this review, I dropped a hundred and fifty bones on this by myself and buyer's remorse is nowhere in sight. I have a nephew in the UK who's coming over here to travel around the states for his gap year and I am already considering buying a second one of these for him. It's that good.

I have the HeavyCover version of this GI canteen kit. Decided to go with Keith Titanium this time around. Am glad I did. For about the same price as the HeavyCover you get a canteen carrier. I was skeptical at first, thinking that it would be just a cheapo, throw-in canteen carrier. I was wrong. It is a high quality carrier. You must decide for yourself if you like the color or not. I personally would have greatly preferred just a simple coyote color, but what's not to debate is that it is a simple, minimalistic design that effectively does what you need it to. The fabric is quality, durable, and has reinforced stitching in all the right places. It also has a simple internal sleeve for holding the canteen cup lid to prevent rattling against the canteen - nice! I highly recommend this titanium canteen kit. There are none better and the quality is first rate!

This product is very lightweight because it's titanium so super strong also. It holds a quart 5 ozs as well. It has a titanium cooking pot and lid that fits right in the canteen. The case also has two button down strips and molle attachment straps. The mess kit is disappointing as the lid doesn't fit tight (comes off too easy) and the foldable handles flop all over the place and aren't nice and tight. It's almost like someone used it then sent it back. For the money spent it should be flawless. If the manufacturer replaces that piece with a better one I'll upgrade this purchase to 5 stars. I love that the canteen fits in the mess kit and the lid in aside pocket inside. I like the case it all fits in but wish the color was multicam. The canteen has a nice wide mouth so you could put ice in it as well but I'm a little bit concerned with the silicone seal on the cap. It's an o ring and I wish they included a few extras with the purchase. 160.00 is fair amount of money to spend on this item and the titanium will long outlast the silicone seal. Then what?? I wish there was a way to contact the seller??

Good product with reasonable price. There are graduation marks inside the canteen cup. Thanks for fast shipping. But feel sorry for Keith’s dented box. Hope that they will improve shipping with proper hard box rather than just the inside of the plastic bag.

Früher als erwartet geliefert. Gut verarbeitet. Haltbarkeit wird dich bei Gebrauch erweisen. Mit Tasche ubd Trageriemen.

購入して5年が経過しました。 まず軽さにビックリします。 そしてチタン製だけあって丈夫です。 キャンプで80回以上は使い、ガンガン炎に突っ込んできましたが、熱による変形は一切みられません。 キャンプ以外でも、コーヒーやお茶を飲む時は、敢えてこのキャンティーンでお湯を沸かし、ほぼほぼ毎日のように使ってきましたが、未だ問題なしです。 一度手が滑っておもいっきり落としてしまい、ボトルの底に小さな凹みができてしまったのが残念ですが、使用には影響ありません。 チタンの特性を理解していけば、焦げ付かせることなく美味しくお米を炊くことも可能です。ラーメンを作る場合はちょっとギリギリです。 高い買い物ではありましたが、ほんと良い買い物をしたと思っています。

Preislich etwas, uffff... aber ja so etwas kaufst Du nur 1 mal im Leben. 😀 Markellose Verarbeitun, nach Lieferung 2 mal Heißwasser durch und: Ready to Use

水筒本体とカップとリッドは軽くてチタンなので衛生的。スタイル良すぎ! カップにはUS1クォートキャンティーンやナルゲンオアシスもぴったり入ります。カバーはきつめで、水筒の出し入れがしにくく、ショルダーストラップのフックの取り付け部分が貧弱。別のカバーを用意したほうが良さそうです。
