Katadyn Vario Dual Technology MicroFilter
A great pump filter

I love this filter. I have never had an issue with pumping, clogging, cleaning or anything. The dual pump mechanism is very quick and the attachment capability with hydration packs and camelback is great and makes for easy pumping. My only issue with it is its a bit bulky in the pack. Not a huge issue. Also, if using it in winter, don't leave it out because it will freeze obviously. And be sure to not try to thaw it out next to the fire because the plastic will warp. I know, stupid. Other than user error, this is a great pump and I take everywhere I camp or hike.
