german water cans

I've had a pair of these german water cans for about 10 years - spent most of the time on the back of my pinzgauer (looked right on it vs. the US military ones).

I recently had one break when it was knocked over off the back - a drop of 2 feet - apparently the sun had affected the plastic over time. Not too bad though for being ten years old.

I never had the handle break on them - but one of mine had lost the gasket on the lid - causing it to leak water when off-road.

I think the size of the opening is larger than the US military ones - nice for scrubbing it out.

Negative. There is a great thread here on ExPo (~2 years ago) that compares the LCI, Scepter MWC and use for MFC's.

Thanks a lot the search is on for that thread :victory:

I have one of those, my only concern is the handle on top - it hasn't broken or shown any signs that it will, how are yours holding up?

So far so good. I try to take it easy on the handle, but for that price a few extra spares in the shop isn't an issue.

Here is one of them, I remember an older one too but didn't search too deep.
