Dave writes - "Since the SeriPEN was posted I thought I'd suggest something along similar lines. The MIOX water purifier, this is a product from MSR...You can't get a sense of it's size from the site but I have seen it in person and it is pretty small only 99 grams... Here's a review." - Link.

SteriPEN portable water purifier - Link.
I went traveling through Africa last year and my Miox mysteriously stopped working about a month into it. When it did actually work it was great. It wasn't due to overuse either.
I'm sticking with my Pur hiker.

I love my miox. you may need a pre-filter for it (I bought the steriPEN one) but it works well, not sick and does LOTS of water at once :)
Also that straw is quite cool, but i wouldn't trust me life on it. Definitely getting it for my survival kit though.
