Hi, Neil..................TART here
Looks like a well made and strong bit of kit mate
Not convinced regarding the carry loops if I'm honest........I reckon they could soon wear out.
The neck of the bottle is very narrow so could be a faff to fill from a stream/lake or puddle.
Its a water container.....Hot water bottle.....thats about it.
Have you thought about one of these as a possible option?

Read the item description
Got two of these and can recommend them.
No worries about punctures.....you can boil water in them on the fire if you need too.....very easy to fill.......does not retain flavours......fill it with boiling water put it inside a woolen sock and use it as a hot-water bottle.
Also if your water should freeze in the bottle....you can stick it in the fire (
Lid Off) and get a brew on.....easy to clean.
A bit more of an investment
.....but will last a life time.
I like they way they have put the water filter next door to it.......clever bit of marketing
Would not entertain that one at all.
Good for a 1000 ltrs of water.....if I am reading it right?
The Sawyer Mini is by far a better option....filtering down to 0.1 Microns and good for 100.000 GALLONS

Again.....can recommend these if you were thinking along those lines too?
Just my two penneth buddy......we dont all think the same way as far as kit is concerned.....your choice at the end of the day mate
