Getting back into the sport after many years I have quickly become a bit obsessed in shedding weight. I am looking at everything.

I didn't care for the idea of carrying the big syringe supplied with the Sawyer squeeze for flushing in the field but thought I still should have some flushing capability. I receive medical drug infusions and so have smaller syringes at hand.

I am going to try to get away with a 20ml syringe at 14g instead of the 34g syringe supplied. I did a test trial at home with the smaller version and with a good push it seemed to develop enough pressure to do the job but only time will tell. I feel it is a better option than simply leaving the supplied syringe behind.

Buy the way I really like the new filter

Hope this may help, jimmyb
