Stanley Legendary Classic Canteen 1.1 qt | Leakproof Drink Container with Strap | Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Lid | Camping, Hiking, Travel | BPA-Free

I bought this new Stanley canteen because I don't have the grip strength to manage round 32oz water bottles any more due to carpal tunnel. This canteen sweats a lot because it's not insulated. So, even though the shape is easier for me to hold, it does get pretty slippery. The most important things for me when hiking are the weight, easy grip, and close fit to the body. So, the sweating wasn't a deal realer for me.I think a standard USGI canteen pouch would fit this just fine, and it would solve the sweating issue while providing insulation. But, it would also add some bulk that I wasn't willing to deal with.Ideally, someone would make a universal neoprene canteen sleeve. But, to my utter shock and dismay, nothing like that seems to exist. Laken makes a neoprene sleeve for their canteens, but it can't be purchased separately and doesn't look like it would fit a standard USGI style canteen.I ended up buying the TahoeBay Universal Handholds for Tumblers. It comes with three sizes. The large size sleeve will fit the Stanley canteen if you want it bad enough. The grippy interior lining of the sleeve is great once it's on, but getting it on there was a real struggle. The sleeve does help a lot with sweating and a little bit with insulation. The second photo shows the level of ice when I first filled it (ambient temp around 78°F). The third photo is the sweat that accumulated at the base within about 60 seconds. The fourth photo is after about an hour (very little change in ice level). Fifth photo is sweat around the base at that time. Sixth photo is a couple hours after that, including a 40-min bike ride in direct sun at 82°F (no ice left, but the water was still chilly).All in all I'm really happy with the canteen. I love the shape, it weighs nothing, and it hangs close to my body, making it easy to maneuver through brush, etc.

Very sturdy construction and easy to use. It has a tight seal and is very good looking. The capacity is enough to keep you hydrated with 1 or 2 refills throughout the day. Not necessarily a bargain but a good purchase nonetheless.

The biggest complaint I see (and would have myself) is, indeed, these sweat like crazy if you put a cold drink insideBut it's a single-wall canteen. Without turning into a physics lecture, that's just what happens. So put room-temp liquids in if you want to avoid it.Holds a good amount of water and is comfortable to wear. The side clips work best if you face the 'nubs' away from the canteen itself, they clatter a lot less that way. Pretty easily to clean inside, the opening is wide enough to get a small sponge in without much trouble though I can't quite reach all the sides, and definitely not the bottom without kid-sized hands.Personally would only use this for water anyway (again, not insulated!), so not too much of a concern.Given everything I feel like the price cold be a bit lower but I'm pretty happy with it, and it doesn't feel cheap, so maybe you just get what you pay for.For those who want something similar without the sweating there's a different, insulated "cross body" Stanley makes but it holds less fluid and costs almost $80 which strikes me as a bit absurd, but someone might like it.

Does not keep water cold at all. I bought this for a planned out trip so sadly I can’t return it or I would because it’s junk. I was so excited to take it on a hike in Costa Rica only to find my water hot as boiled water. I had filled it with ice and water expecting a nice cold drink. Fail item do not buy because of the brand and aesthetic.

It doesnt insulate but it holds liquid and doesent leak.It's loud, though. Those little rings on the side jingle and jangle constantly with any movement.Good, sturdy canteen though.

I bought this for my BF and safe to say he loves it. He's a blue collar worker and he brings it to his job sites and it holds up very well, no dents/scratch's or anything yet and we've had it for just over a month now. It doesn't hold a whole lot of water (at least I don't feel it does) but he says it keeps him hydrated. He also really loves the strap because it makes it a lot easier to grab and carry around.It seemed a little pricey but it's used 24/7 so I think it's worth it. Overall, great product.

Thank you Stanley for making a modern canteen that stays true to it's roots! Since the top unscrews from the canteen you can use it in an emergency to heat/boil water using a camp stove or fire. If you are looking for a nesting canteen cup the USGI and pathfinder are too small. The only one I have found that fits like 90% is the BCB crusader MK2 cup, the one with the straight wall lip. I have not dug out my original crusader cup to test but I would think that it will mostly fit.This canteen is getting some undeserved low reviews because buyers are making assumptions rather than read the actual listing from Stanley. No where in the listing does it say anything about being double walled or insulated. We all know what happens when you assume.If you want a Stanley canteen that IS double wall you need to check out the Cross Bottle. I have no affiliation with Stanley, I just like their stuff.
