SmartBottle DOUBLE WALL Outdoor with 18MM Fast Pour Spout
Agenda Free Link : https://smartbottleinc.com/product/double-wall-outdoor-with-18mm-fast-pour-spout-2-6-or-5-3-gallon/

Price : $12.45 for the 2.6 Gallon with a 18mm Fast Pour Spout
Weight : 7oz for the bag itself plus an oz or two for whatever cap or spout you decide to go with.

Double Walled : These bags are composed of two layers of nylon which makes them highly resistant to punctures and cuts. According to the manufacturer web site, the double wall bottles are 14-mil.

There are single walled versions available and they are even less expensive!

Pros :
Prices are awesome on these bags. Overland specific products can be exceptionally expensive and this provides a very compelling option.

Can be used for any sort of purposes; camping, overland, boating, prepping and survival, etc.

Lots of accessory options to choose from with all sorts of caps and spouts.

All bags pass the UN drop test for emergency water, which is dropping the bag 10 times from 2 meters.
Puncture resistant made from two layers of film
Extra wide seals insure a strong, leak proof container
Compact when empty and folds easily for storage
BPA free
Smart Bottle material conforms to FDA Regulation 177.1520 which permits the use of polyethylene in articles that contact food
Integral handles at the top and bottom are designed for easy carrying and dispensing content

Grommets on both ends for securing and hanging
Made in the U.S.A.
Bag may be frozen with water in it

You can store these bottles for long periods of time; I’ve had this one in the truck for 2 months at a time.

Compact : Small size means that you can travel with numerous bottles and use what you need as you go. When you don’t need them, empty, roll and store.

Collapsible : You can have a ton of capacity within your vehicle without taking up any space

These bottles can be used with Saywer water filters along with other brands as well.

Durable :
Easy to transport.
Can be hung.
Flexible container
When you sit one of these down, they are very stable and you don’t have to worry about knocking them over. Stand up on their own.

Very tough : There are numerous videos of people throwing these bags around; I’m going to do that but I can tell you from my person use, they have proven themselves to be very reliable.

Easy to clean – mouth is large enough to get a brush in the bag if you need to otherwise you can rinse with soap and water.

Cons :
The bags have no identification markings other than the maker so if you have multiple sizes, you could get confused initially as to what size you are looking at.

Their web site isn’t the best nor the most detailed and lacks information in regards to sizes, dimensions, and other details which some may find important.

Sizes :
750ml cub for $10.
Wine bottle of $13.
1 Gallon for $7
2.6 gallon – 22lbs
5.3 gallon – 43lbs
They have water filtration kits and more.

When it comes to spouts, they have a 8mm spout for $3, a tubing spout for water filters, garden hose adaptors and other types of caps.

………
Summary :
For the money, these bottles….they really are more bags than bottles….are some of the best water storage solutions that I have come across and I have no problem recommending them highly.

The quality is awesome.
The versatility is excellent.
Price is extremely fair.

For for those who have limited space, they provide a lot of water hauling capacity.
