I have to believe that it works as intended since I have not tested it yet but package and delivery from Varuste were on point.

Small, light, affordable and the promised amount of water filtration such that it should easily last a lifetime. A plus is that this filters 0.1 microns, while many similar products only filter 0.2 microns, so it also removes leptospirosis.
Effectively removes bacteria, particles, protozoa and microplastics. However, if viruses or chemical pollution are a concern, two-stage water purification can be an excellent solution, for example, in addition to this filter, boiling, a water purifier or UV treatment. It can also be a really smart solution in terms of the fact that different cleaning methods are effective for different types of pollution and complement, even enhance, each other. :)
The plus of the product is that it does not add any chemicals to the water, unlike, for example, many "more efficient" water filters, which are also effective against viruses and harmful chemicals. They have sometimes had to use large amounts of different chemicals and active substances inside the filter, which can sometimes contribute to the drinking water.
This product uses advanced technology to mechanically filter the water as it passes through the filter membranes, so the product does not require any water treatment chemicals to work, which I think is an amazing achievement! So it is also perfectly suitable for chlorine/iodine/aluminum/chemical allergy sufferers, pets, children, more sensitive people and for long-term use. :) I recommend!

Haven't had the occasion to try it in the wild still, but the only bad remark i heard of it is that it might be slow. Honestly, unless you're doing some competitive run i don't see this problem at all: in less than a couple minutes i had a good half a liter filtered without even squeezing. Only cons i saw are that only half a liter for the pouch is quite small, and didn't manage to lock it on the receiving bottle i had, so unless using it as a gravity filter i'll most likely need to keep at least a hand busy while filtering.

The Sawyer Mini Water Filtration System was delivered to me but I haven't tested it yet.
I also ordered Sawyer Micro Squeeze Water Filtration System - Campaign price at 37.55 EUR. The product was not in stock so I canceled the order giving indications (by email) of the IBAN on which to make the refund. After 30 days, the amount I paid has not yet been credited. Readers can draw their own conclusions. Now I am looking forward to a prompt refund.

A very good device for its size and price, made it through almost two weeks of hiking without any problems. The filtration resistance does increase on a long trip, but after the spray rinse it works like new again. The included water bag is quite useless, it should be bigger. A 1.5l Saskia bottle works much better.

Now in the winter tap water from trade in bottles. Convenient, can be easily twisted tightly, does not leak. When drinking, it is enough to tilt the bottle to the position where the flow begins. Does not require constant compression, finally returns the bottle to its normal shape by loosening the filter thread. Easy to use...
