I have the Katadyn Hiker PRO and love it. I am of the school, no matter how clean the water looks, or how remote a scientist says the chance of getting sick is, a few ounces (11 oz to be exact) is worth its weight in gold. What would you do, 11 miles out, with a serious case of illness from a waterborne bacteria? What if you waited all year to hike Whitney (yes, I have my permit!) and halfway up you start cramping...we all know what comes next. (hint:it rhymes with flirts)

So, I will carry that extra 11 oz's and enjoy my relatively inexpensive insurance policy.
