great little travel toolMar 10, 2010
We bought one of these for our family trip to Ethiopia. It was small and lightweight, which we needed it to be, as part of our trip involved taking minimal luggage.
We used the Steripen in our wide-mouthed water bottles, and it was great. I always seemed a bit dubious about whether its coloured light was really going to do anything, but we were ok, so it must have! Because of that, it gave us piece of mind that we weren't drinking any nasties that might have horrible effects on us. We used it morning and night, every day for two weeks.
We kept it in its little pouch, and folded the instructions down to shove in with it. I felt better about having the instructions with us, in case anything strange happened with it. Once or twice it behaved differently than what I expected, so I was able to use the instructions to help me figure out what it meant.
I'd highly recommend it to travellers. My only slightly negative comment is that it chewed through the batteries. I would consider getting one of the solar-powered chargers for it if we were going anywhere where we might need it again. But then that would add weight...

 SteriPen adventurer handheld water purifierOct 13, 2009
The product was shipped on time and ready to use. We were on our way to do a big hike and took it with us. It was easy to use to purify the water and no one got sick or the runs. The only thing you have to know is that the element used to purify does not fit in a small mouth bottle. The opening has to be at least 2 inches. Luckly we figured that out before we used it and took an adequate size bottle with us.
Great ProductSep 30, 2009
I toiled over getting a purification pump or the SteriPen and filter combo for my trip to the Appalachian Trail with my Boy Scout Troop. I chose the SteriPen because it also kills viruses (the deciding factor). It worked great. It is light and compact. About one minute to fill a liter bottle with the filter then 90 seconds to sterilize. Worked great for the group. Only wish it came with a lanyard so you don't drop it in the bottle.

 Meh.Sep 04, 2009
Get the one that uses rechargeable AA batteries if you go anywhere off the beaten path (eg. Third World countries) at all. You can't find the CR123A batteries this one uses outside of major cities there, and sometimes not even then.

A great hiking companionAug 24, 2009
My wife and I do backcountry hiking in a local wilderness area here in Colorado and the water is mostly very clear. That is the most important consideration for the use of this UV purifier. If the water is cloudy or has much turbidity, it must be filtered thus defeating its major advantage: speed.
We have found that it works as advertises and have confidence that it is actually killing the pathogens. The buyer must read the instructions to understand its operation in order to put trust in its performance.
We carry two sources of water purification in case of battery failure or we break it. Tablets take more time but will also be the lightweight option if relying on the SteriPen as a primary source of water treatment. If there were more than two of us, we would use the MSR that pumps directly into the Nalgene one liter bottle. In two summers use we have been very satified with its features: speed, size and weight.
