Awesome but bad in COLD weather.

Very useful but had trouble with it couple of time but had it replaced under warranty with no question asked... But now as I look back, I think it was due to the extreme cold weather (Aquamira tablets would work best for this situation).
Love this as AT hiker in decent temperature when I've treated my water frequently but I have mailed it back to home as I've stopped treating my water with an exception for when it rains (I do uses Aquamira for that).
