Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $36

I bought the Micro Bottle while living in California for a two backpacking trip with my 8-year-old son. It worked great. We had an excellent supply of water on the creekside trail and though I am fairly certain the water was fresh, it was certainly worth the piece of mind to know my water was safe. I have since used the water filter in California, Okinawa Japan, and Hokaido Japan. The only drawback is that now that we have started backpacking as a family (4 humanoids and 1 quadraped), I could use a larger bottle/reservoir for those times when water is scarce (Okinawa, Japan). All in all, it is a great solo backpacking water filter.

I bought this for a backcountry elk hunt. I has very disappointed in its function.

First, due to the design, I could only get about 1/3 of the water out of the bottle.

Second, due to the design, you cant turn the bottle upside down to fill other bottles or Camelbak bladder.

I ended up removing the micro filter and just using the charcoal filter to remove sediment then filled other bottles and treated with iodine tablets instead.

I used this about a month ago, and I still have the filters setting in the sunny window sill trying to dry. (seems like a bacteria factory to me. )
