Canteen Cup Lid
« on: October 28, 2010, 12:28:35 PM »
Just got the lid for my USGI canteen cup from Best Glide and boy is it nice. Heavy neoprene, fits tight and cuts the "to boiling" time almost in half with the type II canteen cup stove and triox, fuel gel or esbit tabs. Works great. Take care.

Nope. Seems to be made of the same stuff used in the soft bakewear. Works great and like I said certainly speeds up the water heating process and conserves fuel whether it be esbit, triox or gel. Take care.
