Yup- that's what's on the way.
Which KK are you using with the max. bottle pouch? 40oz in the 10x4?

The pouch has some external molle as well, not suitable for mags but ideal for small sheath knife or leatherman, etc.
With some 1 liter platypus bladders to round that out for my working water supply
Won't go into all the details, but these are my new pack/vehicle survival kit. (contents stored in bottle till needed in zip/allocs)

Yeah, as far as Molle/Pouches on the bottle holders- frankly, I don't really care- I'm not going to be sticking anything to them so, if I could find a low profile one that would seem to work, that wouldbe on the list as well.
That being said, I'm ok w/ Maxped's extra pocket. I'm sure I'll find something to put in there....
Slightly off topic- how small do those platypus bottle/pouches roll up?
Can they be used with water purification tablets/liquids?
Thinking that might make a better addition to a different set of kit than this: http://www.survivalresources.com/Pro...qua_Pouch.html or a condom....

The Capcap I had leaked so I gave it up.
I've seen a couple others now, but most notably Hydro Flask. It may be worth a look.
I'm ok with the capcap not fitting the KK stuff- PITA, but not a huge deal. Would be an "immediate add" if I go with a Nalgene though.
Looked at Hydro Flask's website- apparently double wall vacuum insulated- so.... does it actually hold the amount stated, or is it like a thermos where the internal space is much less?
Or are they just bigger to compensate? Looking at KK's standard Widemouths, versus their Insulated types, the insulated is much taller for a smaller Oz. size. (granted, narrower, but...). Hydro Flask seems a lot taller as well, for their 40oz. Vs. KK's 40.
