Design Features
The 58 pattern's kidney-shaped design isn't just traditional - it's engineered to fit comfortably against the body when carried. The integrated PVC cup serves as a drinking vessel and measuring cup for rations. The PVC construction cannot be used for cooking or heating.
The tough PVC construction provides excellent durability while remaining lightweight. Unlike metal alternatives, PVC won't dent, rust, or conduct heat, making it safer for drinking but unsuitable for cooking applications.
Manufactured by Kombat UK, this reproduction maintains the authentic design while using modern materials for enhanced durability.
Enhanced Cooking System Compatibility
While the PVC cup cannot be used for cooking, this 58 pattern water bottle is fully compatible with the Kombat UK Alloy Mug. The alloy mug adds cooking capabilities to your hydration system, providing the ability to heat food and boil water over open flames or camping stoves.
This combination creates a complete hydration and cooking system - the 58 pattern bottle for water storage and drinking, plus the alloy mug for all cooking needs. This setup is ideal for extended outdoor activities, bushcraft, and survival situations.
Traditional Military Green Colour
Military Green: The classic olive green colour matches traditional British military equipment and blends naturally with UK outdoor environments. This colour is regulation-appropriate for cadet use and preferred by military enthusiasts seeking authentic appearance.
