        Comments about MSR EX Ceramic Element:

        Good filter not the lightest but certainly the best. The filter does clog easy but compared to other filters it removes dirt and bacteria out of the water. Ive never had bad taste come from the filter. The problems with this filter are that it can freeze and crack. I had the filter crack from frozen water on a winter hike. It cracked in the seam under the black part so I did not notice it. Do not use this filter below 32'F. Also the filter is ceramic and if droped it can shatter. I havent had it shatter while it was inside the filter housing.

        Comments about MSR EX Ceramic Element:

        I've used this filter for day trips and extened over nighters. I recommend frequent cleaning during and after use. Be careful, the ceramic cylinder will freeze and crack, rendering it useless. Replacement cylinder is not cheap. Not recommended for winter camping.
