Really convenient to have in the bag even for day hikes or in the truck as a safety in case I get stranded. I used it for several months traveling through SE Asia. The inside of the bag did get some slime in it which was easily cleaned out with some vinegar but I never got sick and drank some questionable stuff. Worth it for the convenience and to have as a backup for random situations.

The best
This is so easy to use. I take it backpacking. It has totally replaced my other pumps. The black color is totally worth it because it doesn’t look gross after a few uses like the clear color does. I also brought it to Panama this fall as a just in case precaution but it is so easy to use that it’s barely any extra effort and a whole lot of peace of mind. This is the best invention and left me 99% more hydrated on my hiking adventures because I wasn’t putting off purifying water. I just would squeeze the water straight into my bladder or jet-boil.the only thing to be careful of is that you remove the right part of the cap to fill in the water source.

Great for Go Bag /
This product is amazing. It’s super light and compacts down decently well. I have this inside my E&E kit to use as a water purifying system in the chance I get separated from my main ruck. It’s simple to use. The only negative I get worried about is keeping it safe inside my kit and it not getting smashed. That’s not so much of a product failure or con, I just feel that the top with the filter is probably sensitive and needs some extra padding/storage thought. Reading through the documentation and all the contaminants it removes, I feel comfortable enough to use it if my life depended on it one day.

Great Water Filter For On The Go
Purchased for long runs 20+ miles out in the national parks and trails. Even with hydration vest and water bladder, replenishing water is still something I keep thinking when the time goes on. Love this bottle filter, being a good size of 1L to fill my bottles and bladder. Quickly filters well, easy to squeeze and use. Most of all is fairly small to pack away into my vest and continue my runs with no issue. Recommend to anyone who want a nice easy, packable, bottle filterer.

Super life-saving!
I am impressed by the weight of the bottle; I trail run so it was easy to carry. The water tasted fresh and was easy to drink. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys long outdoor activities!
