Hydration

The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc. manufactures an array of various on-the-move hydration products for the US Military.  The most well-recognized is our 1-Quart Canteen (M1), a sturdy air-tight drinking system issued to members of our armed forces.  The canteens come in 1- and 2- quart varieties, and are available in olive drab and black finishes. We also produce the MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) hydration backpack system, which is currently issued and used by the U.S. Army.
