Think of the possibilities.

Do you ever wish that you could drink from crystal clear creeks, alpine lakes, or mountain streams? Well, you can when you bring the Katadyn BeFree Water Filtration System on your next adventure. This compact water bottle with integrated filter makes a great choice for outdoor pursuits and travels to faraway places where tap water is suspect.


Instead of lugging around a bulky pack loaded with a full day's worth of water, just bring this lightweight and compact bottle along with you. Simply fill up the flask and let the EZ-Clean Membrane do all the work. It's effective against microorganisms and even suitable for cloudy water. And when it's not filled, the collapsible bottle packs up small so you can stash it in tight spaces.

One of my go-tos for many activities

I just about always have one of these in my pack. Fly fishing or trail running this is my water on the go. For backpacking I use a large gravity filter but still like to have this as a back-up for for day hikes. Highly recommended!

A must have

Must have water filter. Primarily used for self supported mountain runs. Small, lightweight and takes up no room in my pack. Part of my minimum essentials when I set out. Works as described and have never had any filtration issues.

Very good….. but I preferred the pump

These are great! But for me and the way I backpack… I prefer the pump. I go for a long time and then drink a TON of water. These are much better for quick grab and go. The truth is, when I’m ready to stop and refill my bottles…. I want the break.

Katadyn BeFree 1.OL Microfilter

This is an excellent addition to my day hiking, backpacking and rock climbing kit. I carry less water when water sources are available. I purchased a 0.8L one also but the 1.0L is the one I prefer.

Dependable clean drinking.

It’s worked flawlessly ie I’ve never gotten sick after using and the water always taste good. This is my 2nd, only needed because my puppy chewed up the last one. Great option to have handy on backpacking trips to fill without taking pack off.

Major upgrade from my pump filter

Familiarity:
I've used it several times
Size Bought:
1 liter

I was on a trip in the Tetons and my friends had this exact filter while I was carrying a pump filter. We ended up using this exclusively because it was so much faster and easier. I promptly bought this after that trip and have used it twice since. I love how easy it is to use.

Favorite water bottle

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

Absolute game changer for hikes with known water sources. Very quick to fill, drink, and refill and be on your way. Have taken it on several hikes and was able to quickly replenish bladders and water bottles for myself and others.

Flow, portability, and convenience all contributed to my high rating. Took this on a long day hike and filled from both lakes and streams with no issues. Only had a 3 liter bladder to start the hike and I was easily able to refill the bladder as needed. Very refreshing to drink cold water directly from the stream. No post hike issues from 5 of us who used it.
