Just tried those Inov8 soft bottles with a bite-to-drink lid, but there's no way of securing the bite valve bit, so if they get squashed while in the pack they annoyingly leak everywhere.

Are the OMM ones the same, or do they have a bit that means you can lock the bite valve to stop inadvertent leaks? Or is there a brand that does?

I use these Platypus ones. This link doesn't show it but you can get 'em with push/pull caps. Very tough and don't leak. Had one that surprisingly didn't withstand stepping on it with my crampons on. being a 3 litre one it was the perfect size for all 10 downward pointing spikes to puncture it.

Will the Inov8 bottles take a push/pull lid from a regular bottle of mineral water? I replaced my Source cap with one of those when the original went AWOL.
