Katadyn Combi Microfilter
I trust Katadyn
By Backcountry Reviewer Squiggie
Ranked #503 - Water Filters
April 24, 2003
The only thing worse than drinking a contaminated glass of water on a trip, is finding out your mother-in-law happens to be staying at the same hotel. There are many items that you can cut costs on and get a cheaper, slightly less functional piece of gear. But with water filters, it’s not a bad night’s rest or a tear in a pack that a roll of duct tape can fix. Although if you get a virus in your water you may consider using duct tape so you can get out of the baño for 5 minutes. If you want to quench your thirst without worrying about side effects then get a Katadyn. I take this filter hiking. It's not the lightest but I like the peace of mind.
