and used on this weeks hike from Unicoi to Neals....

This product is pure joy to use,,,,think about it, you see a pond, a waterfall, a creek, water dripping down a rock face, a stream-whatever, just fill up the bottle, screw on the cap and squeeze while you suck the water out of the tip....no waiting to pump, no waiting for chemicals to work and no aftertaste.

On this past hike I used the bottle several times over the first 14 miles of the trip whenever I saw a water source that was close I would 'camel-up' via the filter bottle....at the end of the day I filled up my bladder and added the chemicals and allowed them to work...

It is light but I forgot what my scales read...I want to say 6 ounces but it wasnt more than 8........

How good a flow does the bottle allow??

I have used the Extream bottle (similiar design) and it takes too much effort to "camel up" quickly.

squeezing and sucking gave a good rate of flow, I downed the bottle in less than a minute and then filled it up again.....then I got brain freeze!......Redbeard, the Aqua-Mira was $18.99 for the bottle and one filter......
