The new MyBottle is really out of the ordinary: In addition to its trendy styling and easy handling, it is an indispensable travel companion thanks to its integrated three-stage water filter – a perfect drinking system satisfying all needs.

Gone are the times when you had to tediously haul along your drinking water provisions on your outdoor trips. The MyBottle virus filter now allows you to prepare pure drinking water in any place and at any time without pumping. The MyBottle is ideal for active people used to moving around autonomously in free Nature. And for people to whom ecologically meaningful solutions are important. Its novel design makes the MyBottle a true eye-catcher. The ergonomically shaped drinking beak with its soft mouthpiece can be easily flipped in and out and is leak-proof. With its convenient lid suspender, the MyBottle is easy to carry or to attach to your backpack.

But it is not only the outer values that make the MyBottle virus filter so attractive – it is especially the inner values that count. The heart of this perfect outdoor drinking system is its new three-stage ViruPur filter medium with integrated glass fiber pre-filter. It removes bacteria and protozoa and retains viruses and minute particles on the basis of electro-kinetic in-depth filtration. Another plus: Its additional active carbon filter improves the taste of the water filtered! No more swampy taste of stale water – here comes the freshness of spring water.

The Katadyn MyBottle with virus filter supplies about 0.2 liters of drinking water per minute and filters up to 100 liters, depending on the water quality. It weighs no more than 260 grams and holds 0.8 liter of water. The bottle is free from BPA, has a neutral taste, and can be washed in a dishwasher. Its filter system does not require any chemicals or batteries. A drinking straw is provided for using the bottle without the water filter if filled with safe drinking water that has already been treated. The MyBottle is available in Switzerland and Germany in outdoor and sports stores in two versions: as a MyBottle virus filter and as a MyBottle drinking bottle.

For more than 1000 years, the rune stone has been resting in Jelling, Denmark, the first capital of the Viking realm. Northern Europe has a long tradition of travel. The Vikings didn't just travel by ship, but also made many journeys over land. And at the time, it was even more essential than today to be ideally prepared and perfectly equipped for travel. With more than 40 years of experience, Nordisk can look back on a long tradition in the manufacture of outdoor equipment. The experiences of history were one thing that shaped that tradition.

In the mid 1980's with Jens Toft as MD and Andy Williams as National Sales Manager Northern Feather Leisure with it's brand name "CARAVAN" was the best selling sleeping bag brand in the UK.  In 1991 the name "Nordisk" replaced "Caravan" and in 2010 it finds it's way back into the UK with Andy Williams.

Nordisk has the characteristic Nordic flair for design and innovation.  It's sleeping bags, tents and equipment are designed to provide the best possible experience no matter how harsh.
