Title: Easily Breakable
Review: My friend and I have gone through 3 of these filters already. I decided to switch brands after two of the so-called hiker "pros" broke in my hands while filtering. They clog up too easily and although you can wash them out at home, they are almost useless in the field when they get backed up. The hose port at the bottom is cheap plastic and will easily shatter. That is the death spot on the device. My friend had the regular Katadyn Hiker, and it was basically the same product only it lasted much longer. Then, he took a nasty fall in a boulder field, and the hose port on his filter shattered too. If you plan on filtering from stagnant puddles and navigating rough terrain, look elsewhere. This filter is too delicate to take the beating.
