Micro Bottle
Reviewed by Crushgroove, Dec 04, 2007

"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."
