MSR SweetWater Microfilter

Rating for this product: 5 May 1, 2010

LOVE IT! Almost as much as my Hiker Pro which weighs the same but filters a little faster. Our team had access to NEW SweetWaters all summer and 100% worked perfectly. We made sure all the plastic components were installed correctly & tested each one of them at home before we left. This is a crucial step to test critical gear before venturing out which some people forget about doing. Luckily, no one had any problems and we were dealing with disgusting water conditions. The MSR SweetWater turns pumping water into a really, almost enjoyable, chore.

Just remember to pronounce it "me-yay." I think you would appreciate the "Peuterey" more. It's versatility to combine with winter activities is worth considering. I sure like the way it's more self-conforming to my back & the way it packs. Slightly larger & more expensive but worth it.

Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 Tent: 8-Person 4-Season

Big Agnes Battle Mountain Sleeping Bag: -15 Degree Down/Bamboo

December 14, 2009

And now for a more comprehensive answer to Mark's question, any 20" wide pad will work in this sleeping bag. Big Agnes even makes one that is 48" long. NOT recommended for winter camping. There's nothing on the bottom. This is the major drawback with this type of sleep system. Also BA pads are heavier than most others. The 78" long pad will give you the most ground coverage but at the cost of weight. The 1.5 x 78" pad weighs 2lbs, 7oz and the 2.0 x 78" pad weighs 2lbs, 14oz. These are more than twice as heavy as other pads with the same R-value. Between you & me dude, I would consider a more versatile system, period, end of answer.
