It's a pretty sturdy double zipper that I've never had a problem with. Makes it easy to clean the bags and the makes it quick to fill the "dirty" one. You could use the Platypus Hoser for the clean side, though. Sealed bag with a twist cap and a drinking nozzle. There's also big 4-liter and 6-liter Platypus "tanks" (bags) you can get. Handy because they roll up and store nicely and you could filter all the water you could possibly need for the night and morning.
I like the Platypus bags because they don't slosh around (you're just compressing them down as you take the water out) and since they're all clear, you can get some extra water purification from UV rays.
Oh, here's the inline filter I got:

"One million gallons guaranteed". According to the instructions if you just back-flow it now and then it'll last about forever -- filter your water then flip it around and let some of your filtered water back through to the dirty side and you're good.
