Just received this through the post today via EvilBay.

Not bad value for less than a tenner.

It's a great wee water bottle that is made of plastic and although it says 2 pints, I measured my contents in a standard water jug and it came to 3.5 pints.

Nice sturdy bottle holder with detachable 2" metal belt clasps. It also has a wee pouch on the outside for holding very small items. i.e. Water treatment tablets, etc.

But the shoulder strap should be called an armpit strap as that's where the water bottle sits once I put it on - on acount of the fact that the strap is way too short for anyone resembling an adult. However, the strap is fully detachable by way of spring clasps.

Nice - that's proper desert rations hardware there! Pleasant surprise that it holds nearly twice what you expected.
