Is the wide mouth of the Nalgene vs a Platypus a good thing or bad?
2009937
it depends on how you are going to fill it I have both, the wide mouth is easier to fill from multiple different sources such as a stream, however the smaller mouth of the platypus is easier to drink from but unless you are using a faucet to fill the bladder it can be slow, painful and messy with the platypus.

its just a personal preference the wider mouth makes it easier to drink out of in my opinion and its easier to clean and put powders into. While the smaller mouth collapses better for when you are not using the bottle.

Sorry, I have no experience with the Platypus. The Nalegene worked well as a winter camping "pee" bottle. Earlier I tried it as a water bottle and found it awkward to drink from. Advantage, though, is it can be rolled up when empty.

wide mouth is better for pouring and getting ice through...I use this canteen for filling bottles and cups, not really for drinking out of. I definitely have done that too though.

I ordered this for my dad for christmas last year and he loves it. We both have platypus bladders already but this one comes with the new zip-type bladder and hose. The zip-top bladders are very easy to clean and the newer matieral is coated with antimicrobial stuffs so that you don't have to worry about cleaning it much anyhow as long as you just use water. In brief yes, it comes with bladder, and hose along with neoprene-like insulation. You can also take the insulation off if you want to save weight. It is a very nice piece of gear.

I have a 20 oz nalgene bottle I bought at REI.It is tall and smaller in diameter than the short round bottles. The straw fits nicely in the bottle. The straw does have it's own container but I don"t like it because you can't carry it around your neck like the Life Straw but have to find a pocket where you won't drop it and lose it. This is a great straw but does not allow as much water to come through with each sip as compared to the Life Straw. I like both them of them and use both of them. Hope this helps.

I was able to fit my Camelback Antidote Reservoir in the backpack without any issues. Wasn't a perfect fit, but its secure and I've never had a leak or problem.

I think the large brush will be too big for the smaller opening. It works nice with my Nalgene.

No. If you get a weird taste, wash it out with vinegar and baking soda. Water taste fine, after this. I use a lot of Platypus bottles.

Somewhere in between. Not hard and shiny like the old Nalgene bottles. Marginally flexible/squeezable, not clear but not exactly opaque, somewhat shiny surface in the way most plastic is. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

i Bought this for my son as a replacement for his Camelback. He says it is Nalgene Compatible. But he doesn't know what MSR Miniworks filter is, but he doesn't see why not.

I have no experience using the Sawyer 3 - way with the Platypus Gravityworks, but in my experience, the quick connect attachments are universal. I created my own gravity system with some soft nalgene bottles and a set of the Camelbak quick connect adapters. If for some reason the Gravityworks doesn't connect properly, I would just pick up a set of the quick connect adapters. They're relatively cheap and come in handy no matter what. Hope this helps

It is the wide mouth. I bought the 40oz for me and my wife. I strongly suggest the straw top as well.

Other than the pot/pan combos I don't think Toaks makes a small enough pan for these. I own the 750 and the 550, the sacks for the pots are nice, well made even, normally I toss out stuff like that. Standard Nalgene bottles fit great. I know that the traditional vision on stuff like this is space and everything fitting together, but what I've taken to doing is keeping a titanium plate and letting it do double duty as a shallow fry pan. If your determined to nest pieces I would try the Toaks 100mm or 106mm bowl and purchase a separate pot grabber for the bowl, MSR has several to choose from right here on Amazon, along with titanium plates if you wish to try that.

Not at all. Water bottle size is best. Anything bigger is a very tight fit and requires two hands to remove. Coozies are not accommodated.

i bought 2 that looked very similar one had a squeezy bottom half and the other is solid plastic . Not sure if that's the difference between these 2 if so the squeezy one is far superior cos you can't get drink out of the solid one !

I'm not sure. I only use it for water. I'd suggest checking Nalgene website or asking their customer rep.Sorry I couldn't help.

Absolutely!!! The bigger ones give you advantage in the traction. This ones are better to snorkeling, are big enough to give you enough pushing to snorkeling and its little enough to carry them comfortably.

I prefer this system but really there isn't s comparison. I use Camelback when backpacking. The bite dessert is easier fur me when riding bicycle.

Unfamilar with the camel back but it is well isolated and keeps my water cold for the couple of hours I need it for. Hope this helps
