Dependable Filter!

20oz...This is the best handheld filter out there...I like the adapters for my Camelbak Hydration Pack. Rubberband a coffee filter around the floating pre-filter and you'll almost never have to clean the filter other than rinsing it out. Katadyn makes an in-line charcoal filter that is quite excellent at removing unwanted tastes from your cool, clean water. I highly recommend this additional expenditure. It happens to fit in the carrying case like it was made for it or something!
