Love Katadyn!!!!

I own a Vario and these filters are just at efficient. I put this filter in my truck to use in emergencies. Never can be too prepared! The filter is very easy to use, clean and store. Easily pumps filtered water into a Nalgene or a bladder to store until later. Replacement filters are easily available and I bought a spare set just to keep on hand. Make sure that the water you use is as clear as possible to extend the life of your filter.

Go-To for Water Filtering

Can't beat the Hiker Pro for relying on clean water out in the wilderness. I have many filter options, but this is my ole reliable unit I can always count on in any situation.

Appears to be a good filter.

Honestly, I haven't used it yet and prob won't for a while. All I can do is compare it the MSR filter I have. The MSR seems more robust and has a ceramic filter, but the Katadyn is light weight and seems somewhat fragile but solid at the same time. I'm not sure why other reviewers are complaining about the nipple where the tube goes in. From my experience taking the tube on and off a few times, it doesn't seem any more fragile than the MSR nipple. As with anything plastic and protruding, I wouldn't recommend using a lot of force with it or putting pressure on it. Overall, I think it will work fine and I have a friend who gives his Katadyn Hiker high marks

Simple, perfect

The filter is small, stout, and flawless. It's been used numerous times in lousy conditions and it hasn't left us wishing for anything else.

Pumped much faster than my MSR

My buddy and I did a 3 day hike up in Vermont over the summer. I brought my MSR and he brought the Katadyn. My MSR pumped so slow I would probably still be trying to fill my water. He was able to fill a Nalgene and 2 bladders before I filled half a Nalgene. I have heard the MSR filters more but I haven't heard of any issues with this filter. Pulling from pretty clear, running streams. That water tasted fine and looked clean. Worth it for the speed of refilling and ease of use.

Super fast to fill 3l bladder. Clips directly to my Osprey bladder so no need to remove it from my pack. Used most of this summer and never had an issue. Keep it clean hand it will treat your water perfectly.

Small issues

Worked great at the house but once I put it to use in the back country of Wyoming it kept locking up. I constantly had to take it apart so it would release the vapor lock

Must Have

Used this on our caribou hunt to filter river water. We went through about 5 gallons a day, plus while we were out on hikes. Made our lives much easier getting our water containers filled quickly.
