I see that MSR has a new 5oz TrailShot water filter (https://www.msrgear.com/water/trailshot). Has anyone had a chance to try one?

I’ve never tried one, but I find the concept appealing. The last time I was out, my main complaint with the Sawyer Mini was having to fill the squeeze bag. This always seemed to involve a creek with a very steep bank that made it difficult to reach into the water but that would have been no problem to drop a hose into (assuming a sufficient length).
Squeezing. Pass.
I found a video of it in use online somewhere and it looked excruciatingly slow to use. Pass.
Right now their web site seems totally cactus. I can’t get anything, even from http://www.cascadedesigns.com
Cheers
Its working for me now.
