Broke when I really needed it

The Sweetwater was my pride and joy for several trips into the backcountry and it served me well.
About the 5-6th time I used it I was on an aborted hike/raft trip after all our rafts flipped us into the river at 7pm with only a few hours of daylight left. It was going to be a long night. Thank goodness I had my water filter, until, of course, the pivot system cracked on me and broke completely.

I returned it. The thing has way too many moving parts. I went to a Katydyn.
