Great question. I am curious to see the responses. I am in the same predicament. I have recently switched to a waist pack . While going lighter and smaller is great. The issue of carrying enough water for all day outings is becoming a problem. I have a lever style backpacking water filter. However, it’s too bulky for the waist pack. I’m really thinking about this product:

The only issue I see is with virus treatment. I guess I will still have to carry tablets for them.
Being a new father I have found myself looking for fishing themed toys a lot these days. I can say that this will be the next purchase for my little guy (thanks MoldyChum). I think it’s the bees knees.
Zach,
The only drawback I see with the SteriPen would be the need for batteries and the lack of sediment filtration (not a big deal if you don’t mind drinking suspended particles). I currently use the SweetWater filter system. It’s bulky and it can be a pain to carry if pack space is limited. However, it works great and after 10 years it’s still going strong.
I have recently switched to a waist pack setup and now I’m thinking about going with this:

Good luck with your search. Let us know what you decided on.
