Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter
Light and Reliable

I hike a 600 mile section of the AT and used this filter. I never had any real problems with it and I new that if i needed water I could count on this filter. It's a really light and compact filter. One of the nice things i like about it is that it isn't ceramic so barring some sort of fall the innards wouldn't break. This filter pumps out water really fast and is perfect for an overnight or doing the whole AT.
