2 litre water bladder with wide mouth?

[Tinman]

Need a water bladder that I can fill easily from streams/ponds etc and attach to a Sawyer Squeeze filter. So I'd like something with a wide opening to fill from. Perhaps one with a sliding seal. Was going to buy a Platypus 2 litre as I like their pouches. But their bladder seemed to get poor reviews... Any recommendations?

CNOC or Evernew come to mind

Geigerrig hydration engine(heavy, but very nice to use as it's pressurised), Source Widemouth, or the lighter non pressurized Hydrapak 2l. All have lasted very well for me.

Just converted to cnoc myself, two thread sizes available for sawyer and be free.

Bigger than you need, but this is what I use,

Carry handle slides off and you get a huge opening to scoop water. Then I hang it upside down (punched holes in bottom seam) from a tree and gravity filter.

There are smaller options available, but I forget what they are called.

Useful suggestions, thank you. I guess I'll need to think through whether to get two ie one for dirty water collecting and one for clean water storage/piping into my mouth while I walk. I've only ever used one litre bottles previously.

I can't find any 2019 CNOC bladders in UK. Anyone pointers?

Probably need to import the CNOCs

Backpackinglight.se in Sweden sell them I think, maybe ULOG do too?

Got my Cnoc through Amazon UK but they appear to be out of stock.

Another vote for the evernew

I'm waiting for a CNOC to become available in the UK (wasn't aware of the Evernew - will take a look). Until then, I use my newly-acquired Wildo Foldacup (0.6L) to scoop water from the source and into the Sawyer bottle which is much easier than filling the Sawyer bottle direct. An advantage of the Foldacup is that in the folded position it works as a shallower scoop, which can suit some situations better. Any concerns about using the mug for drinking from thereafter are addressed by a quick swirl with just-filtered water to conclude operations. Tbh this method now seems sufficiently convenient to stick with.

The Evernew bladders seem to have both the screw-top and the sliding sealer both on the top... When carrying the bladder full of water I'd want to have the sliding sealer at the top to avoid leakage.

I've never experienced any leakage from my Cnoc bladder.
