While getting ready for a land based trip in the Great Smoky Mountains a few weekends ago, I decided to add two Sea to Summit X-Mugs to the gear roster. I was fully stoked to say the least! Lightweight (2.7 oz), Compact enough to store in my bear canister (Less than an inch), Fairly large capacity (Two cups), and the food grade plastic they're made of stood up to the heat of a hot meal, without being uncomfortable to hold! They washed clean with very little water or effort. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to lighten their cook kit. All these benefits, and priced at only $10. I look forward to checking out the rest of the X-series Camp Cookware from Sea to Summit in the very near future!
Kudos STS!

I purchased the Platypus GravityWorks 4.0 L Filter System about a year ago at the recommendation of a trusted backcountry buddy. I have since used the system on several trips with no complaints. I'll admit a $120 seems like a huge investment, but definitely worth the cost. Super easy to use (just fill, hang, and wait). Super durable, mine's been used and taken in and out of my pack at least a hundred times with no signs of wear. Very convenient, with a multitude of adapters to fit everyone's filling needs.

I did notice a lot of partially negative reviews in regard to filter longevity, or lack thereof, something one can avoid by following manufacturer recommendations and back flushing every use.

I am glad I purchased this filtration system and would highly recommend it to anyone!
