To Be used with the Cold Weaather Canteen Cover and Cup


This canteen was developed in the late 80's to early 90's to replace the round arctic canteen. This canteen shares no similarities with its professor and takes a whole different a approach to cold weather hydration by making it easy to melt the ice in the canteen back into water rather then try to keep it from freezing. It is a very comfortable shape and is basically a big blown up hip/pocket flask shape. The pouch got a make over as well, while still being alive clipped like the arctic canteen the pouch went from a shallow canvas to a new nylon cover with polyester fill and a almost goretex nylon like inner layer of nylon.






This item came along very late, in 1988. It was a complete replacement for the old canvas cover and included and new canteen and cup. I have recently found some newly published Army doccumentation for this system. It describes some major issues atempting to fabricate the canteen (see below). Personally I love these canteens! They are high grade steel canteens, but they are not overly heavy. They are tough as nails and are extremely easy to take down for cleaning. The mouth is very wide and the entire cap part comes off. The system consists of the Canteen body 8465-01-314-4284, Cup 8465-01-314-4282, Pouch 8465-01-314-4286, and NBC cap and adapter 8465-01-364-7080. Interestingly the NBC adapter was not standardized until 1992. So there must have been a cap that went directly on the Canteen.


I also read they only made 15,000 of these cups so yes I would say they are rare!




A second design, Canteen, Water, Cold Weather, CRS was specified in Nov-Dec 1988. It is not clear if these items were actually manufactured or procured since there is little published reference to them:

Item NSN/Spec
Canteen, Water, Cold Weather, CRS 8465-01-314-4284, MIL-C-44348
Carrier, Water Canteen, Cold Weather, CRS 8465-01-314-4286, MIL-C-44347
Cup, Water Canteen, Cold Weather, CRS 8465-01-314-4282, MIL-C-44349


Referring to the first design, the Arctic Canteen is a one quart round-body, double-wall vacuum bottle with a white silicone mouthpiece and white polyethylene cap. The cap is attached to a lug on the canteen neck by a nylon lanyard. The inner wall of the canteen is stainless steel, while the exterior is aluminum. The two accessories are a stainless steel cup with folding flat-strap handle (not the same size or shape as the standard Army canteen cup), and a cover/carrier. The canteen nests into the cup and both are contained together in the carrier.

The Arctic Canteen is marked alongside its neck with US, the manufacturer (Wyott, VBC, ...), and the month and year it was produced. The Cup markings are on the handle: US and the manufacturer. The canteen cover marking are similar to the standard canteen cover: On front, US; on back, nomenclature, contract, and stock number (FSN/NSN). The early cover/carriers were cotton duck, later changed to nylon with a sewn label instead of stencilled markings. The cotton duck cover had an M1910 hook while the nylon cover was provided with two ALICE clips to attach to the Soldier’s equipment belt or load-carrying equipment. The Arctic Canteen covers were closed with two snaps.

There is an adaptor kit (NSN 8465-01-278-3739) that converts the original Arctic Canteen cap and mouthpiece to the M1 canteen cap that can be used for canteen drinking via a gasmask drinking tube. MIL-A-44264 Adapter Kit, M-1 Cap; for Canteen, Water, Insulated describes the part and the conversion procedure. The original cap assembly, including the lanyard, is replaced by the M-1 cap and strap that are the same as a military-standard plastic canteen.

Here's the system that Firefighter49 sent me. Cotton Duck carrier with ALICE clips, canteen, and canteen cup
