While a suitable solution for filtering on the go, I have found that this product is not as strong as the one made by Katadyn. The filter here restricts water flow to a point where it's a decently slow flow coming out of the bottle and that makes it a bit annoying/slow if either filling someone else's bottle or looking to drink a lot rather quickly. Good product, just think there are better options out there.
Have come to rely heavily on these kinds of bottles/flasks (also own the LifeStraw version, but think this one is superior) for days in the mountains. Never been a fan of carrying more than we need, so these have been a great approach to hydration in the mountains. Don't love drinking too much non-filtered water, so these are great peace of mind and allow for a less than perfect strategy in terms of how much water to bring, what filter, etc. Lastly - it's a treat to have ice cold stream water to drink d...

These things are lifesavers for my girlfriend and I on longer days or harder efforts. As someone who sweats a lot, I find these to be critical to keeping my hydration in check when it's hot or out on a longer day. And, they taste good! Only word to the wise would be that while they can stop cramping (almost immediately) like anything, you can certainly overdo it with these and cause some stomach upset. I have had no issues so long as you're conscious about balancing them with food/water and some sugar.

Really like these so far after coming from a pair of Ultra 100's. I've been really impressed with the comfort and durability of Dynafit shoes and was excited to get into something with a little less cushion than the Ultra's. Only thing I would advise is that they do run a little small (from my perspective). I'm a 10.5 almost regardless of brand (and was in the Ultra 100's) and would have probably gone up to an 11 in these if I were to do it again.
Love this shoe and it's still in my rotation after 2 years of abuse. Find the grip to be right up there with the best (even on slick NE rock and roots) and the cushion is plush yet still feels stiff and responsive on techy stuff. I will say, the toe crease took quite some time to break in and was a bit uncomfy when I first got the shoes - but after some time it broke in with no real issue from then onwards. Most impressed with the durability of these shoes - they've stood up to abuse and have hardly worn...
