Afternoon chaps, i've just made and tested Sawyer mod, it's not lightweight, nor is it fast, as it's the 0.02 micron filter from the bucket kit, SP191. I didn't buy the bag version because I wanted to be able to clean the bags out thoroughly, so I opted for the open Ortlieb 10 L water sack for dirty water, and Source reservoirs for catchment. I'll be adding an inline Katadyn active charcoal filter after the Sawyer, once it arrives from the US. Tap water just passed through the primed filter quicker than anticipated, at 15min's for 3 litres :)

Hope this may be of help to someone :)

Here's mine:

10 litre Ortlieb watersack with a Source Convertube running to the Saywer Mini filter and onto a 3 ltr Camelbak.
Ladies tights over the Source Convertube to catch large particles. :)
