I've been looking to supplement my platypus with a wide-mouth collapsible nalgene very similar to the platypus. I like the platy fine but I really want something with the wide mouth for filter compatibility. So far, I have found mixed reviews online and was wondering if any of y'all had ever tried one or heard anything about them.

I used one up till about three years ago. I liked it fine but it developed a small hole where it was folded. Even with that I would buy another one. On our OHT section six trip back in 05 my grandson used one as a camelbak. They make a screw on top to replace the one that comes with it with a hose and bite valve. It worked great for him.

could you attach a Katadyn Hiker water filter to the wide mouth of this bottle. Somethign like this would be nice since the platy doesn't fit the pump.

I have a 96 oz nalgene bladder. It is handy for backpacking with several people. You can filter enough water for everyone to cook with and still have your hydration system topped off the next morning. My Katadyn Hiker fits the wide mouth. I usually carry it empty in during the day and just use it for camp.
