More than worth the weight and cost.

By Tyler Olander Ranked #298 - Water Filters December 9, 2008

For the longest time, I held out with my iodine tablets. Reluctant to spend this money for the added weight, I drank liter after liter of unappetizing water for too long. This microfilter system is extremely easy to use, and the filter cartridge will last several week-long trips if cleaned and stored correctly afterwords. Boiling water takes time and sacrifices cool water, and different tablets waste time and often taste. Drop your pack at any point on the trail and get cool, clean water, guarenteed.
