Well it's time to upgrade my pump (mini-med paradigm 512). Mini-med has served me well but I'm just curious about what others are using and why. Particularly, has anyone jumped from mini-med to another pump, and if so, what were the reasons? I'm in Texas so I don't generally have to deal with cold weather issues, though the majority of my backpacking is in the winter. Mostly heat, sand, water.. I usually disconnect when surfing, river/stream snorkeling, crossing streams, etc but have accidently forded forgetting my pump and having it totally submersed with no problems. As always, smaller and lighter would be better.
Thanks,
Scott
