great for backup

bought to carry on day hikes for those "oops" times when I don't have water and need it if a source is available. Haven't used it except in the kitchen sink. works good

Trail runner. This is essential gear.

Compact. Fits nicely in my running vest and is very quick and handy.
Dislikes
Not ideal for backpacking. I use the larger for MSR Miniworks for that.

A Must Have In The Backcountry

I've been lucky over the years that I haven't gotten sick considering some of the water sources I've refilled from. - This thing is tiny by comparison to other filters I've carried backpacking which I'd never consider carrying while running. - While it's filtration is rather high tech, it's use is quite easy and requires no special training (if my dogs had thumbs, they'd use it too). - I have to say this is just another example of the top notch gear that MSR develops.
Dislikes
I've used it a few times over this past summer of running and haven't come up with any dislikes.

I did a lot of research before buying this filter. To me nothing else was as convenient or easy to use.

The best water filtration I've used to date!!
Likes
Ease of use and maintenance. Fast and easy when you're on the go for your hikes. I only use my Sawyer mini as a backup now.
Dislikes
Filter replacement should be similar pricing to a Sawyer mini.

Quick water
Likes
Can get water out of a small area where some other filters need more water to quickly fill dirty reservoir. Light weight and relatively small
Dislikes
Can get tiresome trying to fill a large quantity of water. Pickup hose could be longer

Love it. Goes on almost all of my trail runs.

Fast flow, pre-filter doesn't clog easily, lightweight and fits in front pocket of my UD vest. Quick and easy to deploy and use.
Dislikes
Wish it had an attached elastic band to wrap around the folded tube for storage. I use the heavy-duty black rubber band that came with it, but I'm afraid I'll lose it at some point.
