I want to carry additional water and have been looking at different jugs for doing so: Coleman 5-gal jugs, 20-L NATO plastic jugs, etc. I read that the Reliance jugs are very poor quality. Any ex...
The coleman jugs themselves are fine, but the hardware leaves a bit to be desired, especially for the cost ($15+ for a plastic bottle?)
All three of mine are broken in some fashion, one is missing a vent cap, the other missing the spigot handle, the third the entire spigot spout snapped off the cap. This is all by design, as Coleman sells a replacement part kit, that cost almost as much as a new bottle.
All that said, they still hold water, and two fit nicely in my tiny shower tub.
