Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter
Great Filter

The Hiker is a great filter that will give you years of reliability and efficiency. The system is light and very compact. I don't like the pump system as much as the MSR Miniworks but overall it has better features than the MSR. You won't break the filter if you drop it like the ceramic MSR one's and the quick disconnects are nice which allow you too backfill your bladder. The hiker doesn't clog very easily either.(I used the MSR in Yellowstones water's and I had to scrub it every 1 or 2 fills) You can't go wrong with the Hiker Pro because of its reliability, efficiency, weight, and compactness when stored.
