I have the Katadyn pocket filter. I've had it for a year now but haven't field tested it, we tried it with tap water to prep it (it was really bad tap water, fishy smelling and not good in southern Ill), and it works pretty good, hopefully soon we'll try it out in the field and let you know. Shop around for a good deal, the price varies 50 bucks up and down from place to place.
Glad to hear it has worked for ya. Everytime I'm in the city I buy bottled water cause I cant stand the tap filth with chlorine. Btw, what material is the pocket katadyn made of? The other cheaper ones are made of plastic. I can get the pocket microfilter for $160 new and shpping included. Not a bad deal considering they go for around $200.
