Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Item #EXT0073 | 72 in Stock
5 Star Rating

VERY RELIABLE.

By Ranked #177 - Water Filters November 8, 2009

Picked this bad boy up about 9 months ago and have no plans of replacing it with something else any time soon. Its a Bit larger than some of the others i have seen around but in my opinion the pros out weigh any complaint I have about the Size.
What I like about it most is the ease of cleaning it in the field... My first trip out with it we were pumping out of some VERY silty water. My buddies filter clogged and were RUINED... mine clogged but we cleaned it out and pumped for the next 2 days for all three of us. If we hadn't had it we would have been very thirsty, and would have had to hike out that day.
