That's a good price. I have looked at them before but bought or even used one.

Anyone used one and can give real-world feedback.

For the last few years, I've been very happy with a Sawyer filter to treat water. I can take a Smart water bottle and screw the filter onto it then squeeze it into another water bottle. I keep one bottle that is for untreated water which I normally keep the filter attached to when out hiking.

Good price, however...it's REI. Which I stopped shopping at after their bullying of and removal of CamelBak and their anti-2A politicking after the Parkland shooting. It's their outlet so, their internal margins are much smaller than regular retail...

+1. I cashed in my unused dividends and donated it straight to NRA-ILA. Thanked them for their donation, too!
