Great for backpacking

"Used on the John Muir Trail in 2020 and will use it again in 2024. So fast and easy. Pull out water bladder from pack, open bladder, submerge in water, close, drink! While my friends were messing around with squeezing water from filter bags into water bottles, I was relaxing. More trust worthy and faster than chemical tablets. Recommend highly."

Radford (5/5)

Great filter

"I've been using this filter for a year now, really happy with it. I use it both as an inline-filter when attached to my dirty waterbag, as as a gravity-filter to my clean water drinking bladder that is inside my pack. The only downside for me is its "lenght" at 19.5cm I've had difficulties finding a "small, but large enough" pouch to keep it "clean" from dirt and "not leaking into my pack" inside my backpack when not in use."

Sofie (5/5)

Lightweight and compact, has its place and time.

"If every ounce of weight counts this is my go to water filter system with big zip Evo bladder. Downside is not having a filtered water bag for making coffee or boiling meals. I’ll use this when I have clean glacier water to drink and not concerned about boiling my water for a long period when making coffee or freeze dried meals."

Colton W. (5/5)

Easy to use!

"Easy to use!"

Bryan B. (5/5)

Makes life easier on the trail

"This filter works phenomenal. I've used it in clear quick running water and murky ponds. It has worked great for both. I would highly recommend it, especially for the price. I plan on buying several more in the future."

Eric H. (5/5)

Filtering just got so much easier

"This filter is rad. I use mine with a HydraPak hydration bladder and it makes collecting water a breeze. I've never liked to stop and filter water, and I love that I can filter as I go with this system. Officially a convert from Sawyer Squeeze :)"

Riley M. (5/5)

Performed as expected and then even better.

"I used this for the first time on a 3 day backpacking trip along Lake Superior. Worked perfectly in combination with my water bladder. I could easily fill my bladder from the lake and be ready to hit the trail again. Flow rate was excellent, never thought about it once. I was not planning to use it in combination with my bladder as a gravity filter, but I tried it anyway and it worked better than I expected. If you're already planning on having a water bladder along, definitely recommend this, even if just for gravity filtering. Big bonus points for coming with all the hose attachments you need. Only downside: this filter may extend past the top of your pack when attached to your bladder inside. I was able to angle it inside my pack, so it ended up just fine for me."

Emmet S. (5/5)

Very Handy

"Product needs a little refining but overall it does the job"

Marquez (4/5)

Yes

"Worked well no issues. Took me a few minutes to realize that to use this, I needed to cut my hose in half."

Linda (5/5)

PERFECT

"This is a great, lightweight solution to all of your water filtration needs! It's very convenient and can be used in your pack, or outside as a gravity filter."
