    I was after one a while ago but couldn't find one. I bought an Innov8 equivalent from Pete Blands. It seemed to fit ok on my OMM pack, but the bottle bounced around loads when I ran so I gave it up. And after only a couple of months the bottle started leaking on the join of the grip area. So, yeah, I wouldn't bother with that!

    My bottle is now doing exactly the same thing. Took more like a year, but I suspect Hank does more fell running than I do.

    I used an i-gammy at the HPM. It did bounce around a little bit, but worked pretty well for me. It's certainly easier to drink and the bouncing didn't cause any chaffing on my shoulders. My team mate said he had one he ended up chucking on the Lakeland 100 though...
