What’s the point of getting me to vote then inviting me to buy and then telling me not available to residents outside USA?

A filter life of 400 gallons is very poor when compared to Sawyer filters. That a bit of a let down for me.

Actually, amazon says both 1,500 gallons and 1,500 liters (which would be ~400 gallons). I think they may have a typo.

Shoot, Now I'm confronted with a dilemma, what would be best to take for thru hiking the Appalachian trail? The Sawyer Squeeze or the Platypus Gravity works 2L ?? I realize the Platypus would have an extra 5oz in weight but I sure wouldn't mind spending more time basking in nature rather than squeezing a filter. Any recommendations?

HuntyIf you have a camelback or other hydration pouch you can actually just cut the tubing and insert the filter cartridge from the platypus inline with the drink hose. The upside is that it saves a lot of weight (you only need the filter cartridge) on the down side your hydration bladder is always a dirty reservoir which is annoying. If you have doubts about the flow rate while drinking through the filter it actually flows very easily.

I've had one for a few years and it's my single favorite piece of backpacking kit that I own. Makes water for an entire camp so much quicker than a pump. Also, everyone I've backpacked with has converted to gravity after a trip with this.

Can anyone attest to how this work below freezing? How easy is it to disassemble for warming up the filter? Are others better for below freezing?

RevLee I thought about that, and they're definitely cheap enough. I didn't end up getting one because it's such a specific tool to fix this one issue. The gear hoarder in me wants one, but the minimalist side is yelling just a little louder that a clothespin is good enough for now:)
I'll probably break down in the future and pick one up.

This is such a convenient system, especially for 2 or more people. You hit the camp site, collect your water, set up camp, then your clean water is ready. Used this for over 2000 miles of trips.

Just want to add that these things are great. I've had a boatload of filters in the past, but this is by far the fastest/easiest solution. Mine has gone backpacking thru the Adirondak's, various portions of the AT, the summit of Katahdin, summit of Pike's Peak, and all over Philmont.
