I'm contemplating buying a water bottle with a built in filter. I have no good reason to do this other than the fact that it would be a new piece of gear. Last summer I hiked a bit with a guy who had one and I envied the ease with which he scooped up water, gulped down a liter, then refilled, and walked on with a liter for the road. Meanwhile, I had to sit, carefully measure out my AquaMira drop-by-drop, and then wait to drink. This gets old given I average 7-9 liters a day.
So… I figure this might be nice paired with my powerade bottle and AquaMira.
What are your opinions/experiences with these systems?
