It turns out you can drive a Ford pickup over one of these and other than a small dent, no damage it at all...

I found this out this morning after loading the bikes on the trailer for a ride today. Doc was a dumbass.

Very strong unit; highly recommended.

This is why some of mine are several decades old.

What ever kind of aluminum they use, it is amazing. These bottles are as light as a feather, and can support the weight of a Ford Ranger pick up! They should build space shuttles and airplanes out of the stuff.

Good to know. I have the MSR bottles, and I hope they're as durable.

I am sure they are, my guess is all of these bottles are probably made by the same company, and rebadged.
