quick, reliable

I went on a three day solo in the Trinity Alps last week and was impressed with this little guy. I didn't pack nearly as much water as i normally would have because of the quick disconnects with my camelback bladder. I knew i would be crossing several streams so I never had more than a liter on me. The first time i went to fill it up i was surprised at how quick it was, i leave my bladder in the pack so i couldn't tell it was full until it was bulging my pack at the seam. My only concern is that this filters down to .3 micron; however, Giardia and Cryptosporidium can be as small as .2 microns. Great product though, i've been recommending it to my backpacking buddies.
