From Backcountry.com:
"The Katadyn Exstream Purifier Bottle is a lightweight, self-contained 26 oz water purification system tailored to the solo backcountry traveler. EPA registered, the Exstream purifier removes everything from viruses to Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts. The simple design fits perfectly into water bottle cages and cup holders, making it awesome for use as a backup water source on bike rides, day hikes, or adventure races. A bite valve allows easy hands-free opening. Treats up to 26 gallons, depending on water quality."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Designed to fit in most bike water bottle cages, the Katadyn Exstream Purifier Bottle features an internal EPA-registered Virustrat cartridge and carbon filter to remove microorganisms and all viruses from any water source. This 26-oz. bottle weighs less than the lightest backcountry microfilters and doesn't require pumping, making it perfect for extended mountain biking around questionable water sources. One thing to consider is that the filter and cartridge require a bit more work than sipping from a standard water bottle--but the extra safety measure will keep you healthier miles beyond the nearest trailhead or outpost."

"I used this thing for about 4 years and love it except for the fact that I lost it during January in Rocky Mountain National Park. Did I mention that I plan on buying another one really soon. It is great for day hiking when a water filter system is way too much and tablets take way too long."

"I've taken trips to Thailand, Bolivia (2x), Burma (2x), Rwanda, and Kenya with my Exstream purifier. I've poured water from all kinds of sources into it. I've never gotten sick. The iodine taste is not that bad -- didn't notice it after it was primed thoroughly."

"I absolutely hated this thing! Biggest drawback? The water has a strong taste of iodine. You have to squeeze like a gorilla to get it to come out of the bottle. I used it on one trip and gave it away."
