User Review: Katadyn Vario Microfilter

Katadyn Vario Microfilter
Above: The current Vario Microfilter, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $85

I used this filter on a two-week cycling trip in Cameroon. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It is quick and easy to use and I encountered no issues or clogs despite filtering water of dubious clarify on many occasions. By the end of the trip the flow had slowed a bit and a little water would leak over the top. However, I assumed that this was due to the ceramic pre-filter needing a quick scrubbing, which I didn't bother to do since it was so late in the game. Replacement carbon, pre-filter and filters are readily available which is nice, and I really appreciated the fact that it could easily screw onto my MSR Dromedary bags and Nalgene water bottles.
