MSR Dromedary bags are the way to go. I have a six liter Drom bag that weighs less than a nalgene when empty, and it’s smaller than a nalgene when empty, but it holds six liters – perfect for overnighters, soaking your buddies, heck, I’ve even washed my hair under it. They come in sizes from 2L to 10L. They’re tough as nails, I’ve heard of people running over them with a car. They have grommets so you can hang them from a pack/tree/spotter. And they can handle boiling and freezing. Don’t mess with the “drom lite” unless you’re a long distance hiker. Get the real deal.

No, I’m not paid by MSR. I just like my Dromedary bag.

capCAP looks cool. Why didn’t someone make this sooner?

The Titan bottle William mentioned looks okay, but, damn, $25 for a water bottle!? Yeah, right. I can pick up two super-safe Nalgene HDPE bottles ($6) and trick them both out with capCAPs for less than that. Also, I’ve tried the quick-drink Gription product by Guyot as well as a bunch of travel mugs for my coffee – the sealing mechanisms on these things *always* end up leaking – it looks like the Titan bottle has a pretty fancy sealing mechanism. I’d really worry about it breaking or leaking over time. You just can’t beat the basic threaded closure for rock solid leakproofing. I’m going with a couple capCAPs.

Also check out the bpa free titan water bottle – it’s got a built in carabiner clip, spill-proof (so it says) mouthpiece, and one-handed operation. It was invented by an independent inventor in Montana.

I ran across this video of someone using the titan while on the ropes (it might be the inventor himself; I don’t know. It’s sweet though.
