If you guys have amazon prime, it is 69.97 before tax and it qualifies for free one day shipping.

I always wonder if its better to carry the Steripen or to take water purification tablets with you. Pills weigh less and by my estimates, you need to go through like 300 L (50-70 outdoor days) to make it worth the purchase price. Can anyone give me a counter example?

GoGoGreenGiantThe taste of pill treated water! That's the only reason you need IMHO!!

Batteries. This takes 2 cr123 or rcr123 vs 4 AA for the other. Also this has a lifetime bulb warranty. All that said this same model can be had on Amazon for about $20 less with free shipping.

Wonder why they wouldn't waterproof the compartment considering how close it is to water? Perhaps that is the cause of so many in-field malfunctions I read about?
If Aquamira ever figures out the flow rate issue on the frontier max, that will be the grand daddy of water purification for hiking in my opinion.

I had one and found it so unreliable that i ditched it and bought a squeeze filter.
It's a great idea but at times, when I needed it, it would inexplicably not operate - frustrating red light of death.... It actually would not come on when the steripen was immersed and the button was pressed. What is the point of a steriliser that won't work when you are thirsty and you have found a clear source of possibly contaminated water?
But then the next day it would work. Then not. tried holding my tongue the right way. tried dancing the purification dance around the device. sacrificed a goat.
After trawling the internet i realised that there is a convoluted system where the sensor won't allow the pen to work if two metal pins aren't dry before use or if one of them is not submerged completely for a microsecond when the unit is being operated..... I mean WTF. It's the wilderness, I can't gurantee that two metal pins will stay dry ... I can't guarantee that they will stay submerged . just work when the operator presses the button, damn you. Why have a sensor? If the light is on and UV is coming out, that's what i want....
A filter doesn't need batteries nor placation of the water purification gods with ritual sacrifice.
