water container
 

Hello, a couple of weeks ago somebody posted an internet address to get swiss-made black collapsible water containers. I'd like to buy one but I am unable to find the thread. Can anyone help me?

Thank you,
Pedro

The genuine source in Switzerland:
Dicks Army Shop

If you use them for drinking water avoid storing in the sun for a long time. I experienced that some substance from the rubber gets dissociated giving a very bad tast and irritating the pharynx.

Here's the original thread that was moved to Equiping the bike for some reason without a link through

Thanks a lot Yves and Chris. No wonder I couldn't find it!

Lovely kit
 

I bought two of these after the initial thread and think they are a top notch piece of kit. But beware the postage to the UK was about the same price as the purchase!

But still a really rugged, lightweight and small solution to auxillary water storage

You can obtain these from many Army surplus stores in the UK. I bought 4 in 2004 and have used them for drinking water, boiled first of course, they were £18 each then? I gave 2 to a friend as a gift, still using the other 2 though, if you are in a warm climate strap one to the roof through the day and when you stop hang it in a tree and take a shower, lovely.
I steralise mine with a standard water container cleaner occasionally. otherwise, as already mentioned, the water becomes smelly and tastes bad.
I realise the Pedro is in Spain, the UK comment is for the Brits amoung us.

Thanks anyway for your very useful comments Kevin.
