I believe that the "Travel Tap" is an updated version of the bottle I carried with me on the TGO Challenge last year. A little heavy for its capacity, but couldn't be easier to use and had a very good flow rate. I still avoided obviously bad water sources of course, which was even enough given the plentiful supply in the Scottish countryside. Mind you, mine was a gift so I only had to swallow the water, not the price ;)

Not absolutely essential for the sort of hiking and camping I tend to do, but preferable to chemical treatments and a lot quicker than boiling.

the travel tap is on my "to buy" list, i can't stomach chlorine treatments for water as they leave me very very ill.
i've looked into alternatives and i like the travel tap option, at £26 its fair enough i guess. worth the money if your drinking from unknown streams tho.
