Pros

Good filtration
- this filter bottle is meant to be a quick and easy way to filter water on-the-fly as you get to streams or pools of water along the trail
- the bottle is designed to remove particles as small as .004 microns
- it is not designed to filter all of your water for washing dishes, cooking, etc. (using it to filter all of your water needs will only get you cranky, strain your hand muscles and clog the filter).
Lightweight
- it allows you scoop up some water and keep walking without having to stop and unpack your larger filtration system
- this is a lightweight way to keep yourself hydrated
Easy to Use
- the system requires both sucking and squeezing of the filter bottle to drink
