They're practically indestructible, and actually have a NATO stock number, as they are military issue.

I'm not familiar with this "commando" device, but if you replace the tanks again, I'd wrap them in some kind of mesh-bag or material. You can buy mesh-material at a fabric-store by-the-yard.

Been thinking about this mesh-material. I can not find anything. do you have a link to somewhere for me to look at?

A couple searches:
Amazon.com : mesh fabric by the yard
Amazon.com : netting by the yard

You don't want the "lightweight" stuff, probably something "medium." This looks about right based on the description and pictures, though I have zero experience with this specific product.

You can also get mesh bags. I don't know the size of the bottle, but you'll probably want a width/height about 20% larger than the bottle. One with a draw-string top might also be useful.
