FS - Lot of 4 backpacking water bottles I have had for around 30 years but have been in storage since I was a kid. Perhaps someone can put these to good use. Made in Austria. 500 ml and 750 ml. Terrific condition. $18.00 includes shipping.

Wow, I used a couple of those all thru the 70s. Probably as good as anything on the market now.

My wife's uncle still has/uses them. He probably scoffs at my Platy (while wearing his old-school "rucksack").

I have some of these that are identical and stamped "Olicamp" and "USA" on the side. They are ribbed and easy to grip, shaped to fit the hand and weigh less than their Nalgene counterparts. They never leak due to a great cap design. I bought mine a couple years ago.

I googled "Olicamp water bottles" and it looks to now be a discontinued item.

These are keepers.

Its a wonder you're still alive since those probably weren't "bpa free" back in the day. Haha
