MSR MIOX Purifier w/ Batteries
Excellent Purifier

Ranked #72 - Trail Running Hydration

This is a light and easy purifier..used this as one of our main water treatment applications for a long trek in and out from GII bc in Pakistan, and it worked extremely well. Liked that the water tasted "clean" and that it was a fast, simple, and light system to use. I would order the extra salt package available for longer periods of travel to ensure that you don't run out. Highly recommend this product- when every ounce counts, this wins on weight to performance ratio, and we definitely put it to the test in areas and environments where there was a lot of fluctuation in temps, and exposure to foreign bacteria.
