I saw a post on another board about this product, and the guy said it was one of the best pieces of gear to come down the pike in a long time--so with interest raised, I went by Sportsman's Warehouse and picked one up. Cost--$6.99.
While I have not had a chance to use it yet, it looks pretty promising. Filters to 2 microns, so it catches Giardia, Crypto, e.coli, etc, supposedly good for 20 gallons and even has a carbon filter for taste! Anyone else have any experience with one of these??

It looks too good to be true. I would trust my life with that filter. I prefer the true, tested Catadyn ceramic filter. It is proven to be tough for UN personel in over sea operations.

True, picard 120...

But then again, this is 1/10 the price of a MSR or Katadyn..

Give a choice between one of these and a Katadyn, no contest.

Given a choice of one of these and nothing because I can't afford a Katadyn, no contest again.

I know of some people in NO would be happy to have one of these...

We could use a good evaluation on filters. Something of interest for publising on this website.
