The filter is a scaled down version of the Squeeze, with a better flow rate. It works independently from the bottle, which has some kind of foam in it, but is big and clunky, not well suited suited backpacking (I checked it out at REI). I'm planning to buy either when they sell the filter separate or discount the kit to a price that makes sense (maybe $30), throwing the bottle away.
