Hi Ash,

http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product353.asp?PageID=40

Its a 650ml squeezable bottle. The drinking spout has a rubber cover attached to the bottle neck and the whole thing is extremley well made. Its like a sports bottle but the cap end has an impressive filtration part to it. Comes in a cordura cover thats quilted and silver foiled on the inside with a shoulder strap and comprehensive instructions. I spoke to Bob at Backpackinglight and he and his family have experience with the product and have nothing but praise for it. Im off out with it next week and will not be carrying water for base camp. For the price I cant see anything comparable. Of course it arrived with the customery packet of jelly babies in the box and 3 days later followed up with a call from Rose to confirn its arrival etc etc.

Ive just re read this post and it does sound like Im working for the company lol, I can assure all that Im just a satisfied customer.

Cheer's let me know how you get on with it I'm thinking of getting one of these or the straw type one from gooutdoors but this sound's like it will last longer.

I have one and the only problem I've found is that you need to be careful when squeezing the bottle. Do it too hard and, on mine at least, the water comes through the seal between cap and bottle, bypassing the filter and leaving you wet.
