I'm definitely biased against American made quality gear vs chinese trash. There's plenty of other options for regions who creat quality stuff like Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Sweden, Germany, so on China has the worst quality steel and quality control is a major problem. I'm serious about my equipment when I need it and I'm putting my life over it I can't have it fail.
@@dynamicsurvival6332 how old? Because i haven't seen a case like that on their site ever. I did notice the cup itself is older stock though because it doesn't have the loops on the handle of the cup. Where did you buy it from?
Ya exactly the looped set is the latest design. I got this one from Amazon and then gave it to a friend just starting out and bought another and that's when I noticed what you said about the rings and no case. I like the rig set better. But ya that's why it was one of the first edition sets
@@dynamicsurvival6332 I currently just have his bottle set, it's great. But I do think I would prefer the canteen set, plan on picking one up sometime in the next couple months!
Honestly the only reason I chose the canteen set over the bottle set was the shape. I can easily wear it on a hip belt if I have a light loadout. It just contours better on the hip in my opinion but that's it.
Also dave has videos explaining why is steel supplier and manufacter is in china. Do you want the set to be 50 bucks? Or 100 or higher?
I'm not a big fan of him regardless of what he says.
@@dynamicsurvival6332 well regardless of that you should be more non partial and not let your bias sway your opinion.

Not sure where you got that sleeve/case but it is not sold by pathfinder or sro.
That because it was older stock they learned how bad it was and stopped including it in newer stock
