USGI ALICE Canteen Cover

Description

This an ALICE compatible canteen cover that was used in the US Military. These canteens first started as the M1967 pattern and evolved, without major changes, to the LC-1 and then LC-2 pattern. These pouches are an improvement over the M67 pouches, being more durable and of better design. The interior is faux fur lined to help keep water cool in hot weather conditions and from freezing in cold weather.
