Never an issue with the Katadyn Pocket!

By David Drake Ranked #241 - Water Filters November 15, 2009

I've now tested this purification equipment on many backpacking and hiking trips, drawing water from brisk rivers, slow trickle streams, small near-dry pools, puddles and once from a cow drinking trough. Although the purified water may not taste great from a few of these sources, it was clean and purified. I can't see myself outliving this exceptionally necessary piece of equipment. It's output, flow rate and weight are all accurate according to tech specs. A accessory, sold separately, item I didn't see offered here at backcountry, although it may simply be out of stock, is Katadyn's "Quick Fill Hydration Pack Adaptor". This little adapter allows you to fill your hydration bladder without removing your bladder from your pack. The katadyn Pocket comes with the male end of the adapter but not the female end. Certainly convenient and a must for those of us whom don't wish to unpack/pack to access our hydration bladder. In any case the two item are essential, the Katadyn "Pocket" and the "Quick Fill Hydration Pack Adaptor". I do wish the female end of the Quick Fill Adaptor was included with the Pocket Microfilter, for the price is probably should be. All be it, My rating 6 stars!
