The thing that makes it a potential contender is that it folds flat, as opposed to a Platypus water carrier. I may try an Aqua Pouch to see how it works out. A key issue will be how secure that zip closure is.
Yeah, I'll certainly order a few to try. I have McCann's book, and having since developed some trust/respect for his opinion, I feel pretty comfortable that the closure is robust enough to serve its purpose. If these hold up, it is well worth $5.00 a piece to me to replace the half dozen or so Platypus' I have scattered around in different kits, and not have to make room for the screw top.
I do like the fact that they can go from freezing to boiling, and are FDA food grade. My prediction is these will net McCann more income than his book ever did, and I suspect that Nalgene and Platypus with both have similar products within a year.
