Where in this vest did they keep water canteen? Why was it not liked? Thanks

Hello Zef Survival, I believe the canteen location was left up to the individual as to which side it was carried on. As for why it was not liked is the same with all issued vest throughout history such as heavy, ill fitting, lack of ability to be customised, not designed for the use that it ended up being used for…
