OMM Ultra Bottle replacements

[alexmcvey]

Hi there,
I've been using the OMM 6 litre for the past 4 or 5 months now but find the bottle very awkward to drink from. I have always preferred squeezable bottles to the rigid design that OMM use but have been unable to find a replacement that fits into the space in the OMM bag.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Starter for 10 is a Lucozade bottle - certainly a cheap alternative. Other than that might be worth looking at some of the mineral water bottles thinking along the lines of vittel/evian bottles.

Yes, 380ml lucozade bottle, picked it up for free at the start of the Settle Saunter, though sadly the previous owner had drunk the contents. It's a good shape and doesn't bounce around. You can squeeze it to fill quickly from a stream. Don't have to fight to get it in or out of its pouch.

Oasis bottles are quite good.

This was discussed in depth on thread commencing 17.3.2010. I too complained about how difficult it was to use the OMM bottles supplied with the bum bag. The conclusion to the thread was replace with a simple bottled waterwith a sports top.

Thanks for the ideas. Hadn't even crossed my mind to swap it with lucozade bottle or similar! Was instead hunting through sports shops.
