Jerry Can is a robust liquid container made from pressed steel. It was designed in Germany in the 1930s for military use to hold 20 litres of fuel. The development of the jerrycan was a significant improvement on earlier designs, which required tools and funnels to use, and it contained many innovative features for convenience of use and robustness. After widespread use by both Germany and the Allies during the Second World War, today similar designs are used worldwide for fuel and water containers, some of which are also produced in plastic and are widely used in Africa to carry clean water.

Wonderful project and beautiful design insulating water bottle. – kept my tea warm made in the morning warm enough for an afternoon tea and instead of buying a plastic water bottle has served as a well working water bottle saving environment. Had issues with shipping times and the ring attachment that went off.. the lid ring attachement design so should be improved, yet the lid itself stays and insulates well. And the staff responded kindly to fix the problem. Overall happy customer and wishing good luck to the project !!!

Dispatched quickly the product is beautifully packaged and the only plastic used in the packaging was the tape (I did request that no plastic to be used in the packaging maybe they made an extra effort for me as I made a request but I didn’t see anywhere when ordering that said so). The colour is slightly more vibrant I’d say in person than in the images I saw on the website but for me that was a plus. The quality of the product is top notch, sturdy, good weight and size and the larger lid size makes cleaning much easier than some other brands. As Jerry give their profits to such tackling water poverty it’s brilliant they have managed to produce such a good product and still priced competitively. Happy customer, probably wont need to purchase from you again because this bottle is so good but will definitely recommend.
