They sound like the perfect thing for a BOB. Surprised they aren't talked about more on the forums.

I picked up 3 purification/filtering straws at Academy for $9.98 each and have tested them all by drinking creek water through them. I didn't get sick, so I guess they perform as advertised. I can't remember the name right off, but it started with "Aqua".
