If you have ever had bad water on a long backpacking trip, or even a trek, medical you know it can be the end – literally! In my time, I had come to depend on filtration pumps or iodine to bad water so when SteriPEN came out with a small, lightweight device that used ultraviolet light to water, it caught my eye. But it has been a bit expensive.
Early in 2010, REI sent out their annual dividend so combined with a 20% , I picked up the SteriPEN Adventurer model for about half of the retail $100. After five months of heavy use, I though a review was in order. Click the link for all the details.
But the bottom line is I like the SteriPEN. It is small, simple and fast. I like knowing my water is ed without chemicals and appreciate the maintenance free aspect of the technology.
