Hi Joe,
  
 Only one serious issue here on an otherwise excellent OR. That's the name of the product. From your photos it looks like Sawyer now calls this the MINI Water Filtration System. Unless the one you bought was named (by Sawyer) the "Inline Water Filter," use the manufacturer-given name. Other edits below in the standard EDIT/Edit/Comment format. Please repost after revising.
  
 Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving, Richard

 ###Measures: 
         Weight: 1.8 oz (51 g)

 ### A cluster of micro-fibrous tubes effect filtration. ###
 EDIT: affect filtration
  
 ###  The filter removes bugs and contaminants; does not remove viruses.
     Freezing can rupture the tube cluster's membranes.###
 EDIT/Edit: These sound like maker's warnings. If so please identify as such.
  
 ### I probably average about 2 L (2 qts) a day ###
 EDIT: 2 qt [BGT abbreviations are always singular.]
  
 ### "Well you can't run sugar through it," cs said. ###
 EDIT: Who (or what) is cs? Needs to be identified.
  
 
 ### The whole system adds up to about the weight of the 12 oz (dry) (340 g) pump filter I used to carry. ###
 Edit: I'd reverse the parentheticals – "(340 g) (dry)
