I haven't found that one yet, the mini one seems to be the cheapest-you can get one sent over from the states as its an American product, there is one on Ebay for £25 inc postage-if you can wait for the delivery, the squeeze bottle is the original one(the mini is a NEW type) but that's about £55 !!!!
Mortblanc told me you can buy them in the states for $20 (which is about £14?) but isn't that always the case??

Aye. Pretty much standard unfortunately.
Bring it along to the meet if you don't mind - I'd be interested to see just how big it is in person (the filter that is!) before I buy one.
100,000 gallons - you can't go wrong for that price!

its tiny, probably fit in a coat pocket and it only weighs 2 ounces.

I haven't used it yet but it looks pretty robust I don't think you'd snap anything on it, not sure how strong the bags are but you can use any old pop bottle on it instead and we all know how many of them their are lying on the side of the road everywhere!!

One more question, the 'Lifesaver' bottles have to be kept wet once you open them and use them, else they are useless.
Does the same apply to these or can they be left to dry up until next needed?

Cheers BP im going to get one of these for sure

The MINI is being issued to special ops units as a standard item. It is not going to fall apart in your pack. It requires no special treatment, permanent priming or any such preparation. Just screw it onto a 2L pop bottle, squeeze and drink.
