That $60 water filter I bought on impulse saved me from giardia on the PCT

Had to drink from a murky stream near Crater Lake after my friend dropped our only bottle and the cheap filter actually worked, has anyone else had a cheap piece of gear surprise them on trail?

Yeah the cheap stuff sometimes just works better than the expensive hype.
