This too is very strong plastic, and the cap has a sort of triple thread so it only takes 1/2 - 3/4 turn to open it -- yet it remains watertight. Good also for dry storage for smaller stuff on trips, e.g. oatmeal or rice. The square rather than round shape means some convenience in packing things, and it won't roll around in the boat...>> Joe, what size are these? Sounds like a good thing, but I don't recall anything but the gallon-size milk jugs. I've had mixed experience with those. The triple thread failed on me a couple times, so when I use them I wrap the cap/jug seam with electrical tape. No leaks that way ... yet! I'm thinking you are referring to something different. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
