Hydro Photon SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Ultraviolet Water Purifier

Item #HYD0009 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Nice Gadget

By Ranked #134 - Trail Running Hydration October 24, 2009

I picked this up as a just-in-case gadget. I have now used it a bunch of times and it does it's job......at least I have had any intestinal problems from the fluids I've been drinking. Some reviews say there are loads of problems so maybe I've been lucky but I haven't had a single issue with mine. In my experience they do what they're suppose to and I'm happy with that. Just as a side note, I ended up returning this one because I decided to snag the model that came with the solar charger. I planned on carting around an extra set of battery's just in case.

Kim, The SteriPEN Adventurer can be purchased with a solar charger to recharge the batteries in the field (http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Hydro-Photon-Adventurer-Handheld-Ultraviolet-Water-Purifier-w-Solar-Charger/HYD0012M.html?RSC_ID=WR_HYD0016).

Is the solar rechargable feature part of the pen itself, or do you mean solar rechargable batteries? Where can I find that?
