This is my current inline filter if anyone is interested: https://www.rei.com/product/167006/rapidpure-scout-inline-hydration-pack-purifier

I've been using it for a few weeks without too much trouble but I always bring a back up lifewater bottle.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant - see above. There is no point of using Nalgene bottles, unless you are climbing class 5 multi pitch technical routes. Smart water bottles are cheap, light, and compatible with Sawyer filters. They are not as durable as Nalgenes but work perfectly fine when there is no constant abrasion due to bumping into rock
