MSR MIOX Purifier w/ Batteries

Item #CAS0478 | 12 in Stock
5 Star Rating

safe drinking water with fairly simple steps

By Ranked #856 - Trail Running Hydration December 18, 2007

I haven't used this in the field a lot, but I've tested it at home a couple times. The water that is treated doesn't taste bad to drink and the process is really easy. If you want 100% treatment then you have to leave the water for a long time, but that is true of pretty much any system, and most will taste worse.
