Is the 42mm Filter Cap a good running water filtration & treatment?

Yes — Jamie Hunyor recommends the 42mm Filter Cap by HydraPak as their running water filtration & treatment pick. I have two of these—one for long days on the trails in my belt or pack and another in my field bag for going off-trail in my day job as a botanist in the Sierra Nevada. On the trails it saves weight so I can carry less & still stay hydrated. At work, it gives me peace of mind knowing that if something happens & I run out of the water I’m carrying in my pack, I’ll be able to fill from the streams in my survey area.
