Keep you soup warm with this genuine USGI stainless steel arctic canteen kit. Includes all three pieces as described below:
USGI S.STEEL ARCTIC CANTEEN
The U.S. GI Stainless Steel Arctic Canteen is a genuine military-issue cold-weather hydration solution built to keep water drinkable in sub-freezing conditions. Originally fielded to U.S. troops operating in arctic and alpine environments, this double-walled canteen uses an insulating air gap between its inner and outer walls to slow the freezing process — a critical advantage when standard plastic canteens turn into solid blocks of ice. Now offered in used surplus condition, these are a proven seller for shops catering to outdoorsmen, preppers, hunters, winter campers, and military collectors.
The body is constructed from stainless steel with a polished finish, formed in the classic flat oval canteen profile so it rides flat against the body or slides into a standard GI canteen cover. An embossed "FILL LINE" on the face indicates safe fill capacity, leaving room for liquid expansion if contents do begin to freeze. The threaded neck is fitted with a white plastic collar and an olive drab plastic cap tethered by an integrated retention strap so the cap won't be lost in the snow or dropped in the dark. Capacity is approximately 1 quart, matching the standard U.S. GI canteen footprint.
Key Features:
Double-wall stainless steel body for insulation against freezing temperatures
1-quart capacity with embossed fill line
OD green plastic cap with retention strap to prevent loss
Classic flat oval GI canteen shape — fits standard 1 qt. canteen covers
Genuine U.S. government issue, previously issued condition
USGI OD ARCTIC CANTEEN POUCH
The US GI Olive Drab Arctic Canteen Pouch is genuine American military surplus — the insulated carrier issued to protect the 2-quart Arctic canteen from freezing in extreme cold-weather environments. Stamped with the unmistakable black "US" marking and built to original government specification, this is the real-issue article that served alongside troops in arctic and mountain operations, not a later commercial copy.
The pouch is constructed from heavy-duty olive drab nylon with a thick padded thermal lining that buffers the canteen against sub-freezing temperatures, helping liquids stay drinkable when conditions turn brutal. A wide hook-and-loop secured top flap keeps the canteen contained, while the reinforced webbing pull tab makes one-handed access easy even with gloved hands. On the back, the original ALICE-style clip system attaches cleanly to pistol belts, LC-2 web gear, and surplus load-bearing equipment.

Genuine US military issue — authentic government-contract production
Heavy-duty olive drab (OD) nylon outer shell
Thick insulated lining to resist freezing in cold-weather use
Hook-and-loop secured top flap with reinforced pull tab

US GI S.STEEL ARCTIC CANTEEN CUP
The U.S. G.I. Stainless Steel Arctic Canteen Cup is a genuine military surplus piece designed to nest around the U.S. issue 1-quart cold weather (arctic) canteen. Its distinctive kidney/figure-eight shape sets it apart from the standard round-bottom GI cup, allowing it to wrap snugly against the insulated arctic canteen body for a slim, rattle-free carry. For shopkeepers, it's a proven crossover item that lands equally well with surplus collectors, bushcrafters, preppers, and weekend campers building out a classic GI mess kit.
Built from durable stainless steel with a smooth rolled lip for comfortable drinking, this cup is made to take heat directly from a fire, stove, or trioxane tab — perfect for boiling water, brewing coffee, heating soup, or rehydrating field rations. The folding wire butterfly handles tuck flat against the body for compact storage inside a canteen pouch, then swing out to give a stable, heat-isolated grip when the cup is hot. Used condition means each piece carries the honest patina and minor surface marks of authentic field service, which is exactly what surplus and reenactor customers are looking for.
