Outstanding Tool for the Job

Katadyn Base Camp Water Filter

Katadyn Base Camp Water Filter

Rating for this product: 5 June 12, 2009

I have always hated having to pump water first thing after getting to camp. Well, with this gizmo, you can "pump" water and set up camp (or relax) at the same time. I recently did a 5-day trip, and the performance of the Base Camp was just outstanding. Hang it up (adjust it to the right height so the hose doesn't drag the ground - easy with a short rope and carabiner), fill it, and let gravity fill your Camelbaks, Platys and Nalgenes. We were blessed with relatively clean water, so no problems with clogging - this could be an issue on longer trips with sediment-loaded sources (there's no "backflush" procedure), so carry a backup filter cartridge if you expect these conditions (or wrap a coffee filter around the installed cartridge and secure it with a rubber band).

I highly recommend the Base Camp filter.

This is a good value

Good fit and comfort. I've yet to really crank out the miles in these, but for the short walks I've taken so far in mild conditions, these are the best I've used. Time will tell once the summer heat and humidity get here (upstate SC) but so far, REAL good.

Good, not Great

Patagonia Active Classic  Boxer - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 April 6, 2009

These work OK, but there are better choices. For me (one of the great all-time sweaters), they get damp too quickly, which makes them ride up more than I like. My fave so far is from ExOfficio - slightly better performance, better price.
