Equipment question - Maxpedition and water bottles - 10/23/07 06:42 PM

All,

I'm curious what size of Max's Rollypoly's would fit the below items:

One Litre Platypus water bottle:

Two Litre Platypus water bottle:

Sigg's Black oval bottle with cup:

Also looking for an online dealer that sells Max's gear internationally, in particular the rollypoly and the FR-1 pouch, and a shoulder strap if they exist (though can't find one on their site).

Thanks in advance,
Kris

I don't have a RollyPoly on hand, so I can't check if KIFARU's shoulder strap (look at the bottom of the page) would work.

OTOH, maybe that's overkill for a 4 or 5lb load...

I was looking for a shoulder strap for the FR-1. I suppose any would work.

But I was looking at getting a RollyPoly as a means to carry a 1 or 2 litre Platypus collapsible water bottle. And add that to my PSK.

I'm in the Caribbean, so its not cost effective for me to order stuff and return if it doesn't suit my needs. I might save up for a trip to the states and just do a big shopping trip. Anyone know of a non-online store that sells Max's stuff?

Thanks,
KRis
