Great for base camp/backpacking/car camping
We tried this out on a backpacking trip, just to use for camp, and we found it was quite nice to be able to fill camp things (pots for boiling water, water bottles, etc.) and not have to sit hunched over to pump a lot of water all the time. I think that's a great purpose for this!

Works well
I appreciate the functionality and reliability of this product. I have not yet had to resort to my backup water filter and I also like how there is no leakage.

Great product and easy to use
This is so light weigh and way to use my 13 year old son was in charge of water filtering. Haven’t been sick so it worked.

Compact filtration
I like this item because the bag can be rolled into a super small package. The biggest part it the filter itself, it fits in my hiking pack well and has been added to my water filtration arsenal

Good Filter
It's very good - I do wish the opening was a bit bigger to help collect water faster. I like that the filters are exchangeable between models.

Good travel companion
I had a great experience using this filter when I traveled abroad for two weeks. It is very easy to use. I like how easy it is to clean the filter. I didn’t have any issues with leaking. You can drink straight from the mouth piece or fill up another water bottle. It has a nice oval hole which you can use to hang it. I plan to continue using my filter for future backpacking and travel trips.

Filtering water at basecamp
I bought this for backpacking trips that involve setting up a basecamp for a few nights. I like that the included 3.0L bladder allows you to fill it up and then walk back to camp before filtering your water. I found the filter rate to be reasonably fast and would fill up a water bladder or bottles fairly quickly. It can also be used Creekside to fill up your bottle before moving on, or in areas with very little available water you can fill up your bottles and then carry it full of 3 liters to your camp site and filter the water later as needed.

So far...
Used it once on a 7 mile hike. Dipped into a swampy stream with lots of dissolved organic matter, yet the filtered water had a likable taste. Can't beat the packability!

Super easy to use
Can't get more simple to use. Just fill it up and let gravity do the work. It's a lot more convenient than a pump or a grayl.
