It filters down to 0.3 microns at 48 strokes per quart. Total weight including the bag and accessories shown here is right at 1 pound.

I bought it at Basegear.com: http://www.basegear.com/hikerprofilter.html when it was on sale for $60. Score!

I’ll be filming my in-field review of it the next time I get in the woods, so stay tuned for that.

Thanks for watching!
