By squarebutte from Park City, Montana on 11/09/2008 Best Uses: Camping, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Used my nephew's Bota water bottle on a 4 day hike in the Beartooth Mtn's of Montana. It worked very well and had no problems with it.
By MK31 from NH on 11/08/2008 Pros: Convenient, Good Capacity, Light weight Best Uses: Camping, Hiking, River Trips Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have not used this in the field as yet, however, the complaints I have read about do not seem to apply. The bottle squeezes OK, and the filter design seems foolproof.
By Christov_Tenn from Loathsome Stepford, Tennessee on 09/05/2008 Pros: BPA Free, Good Capacity, Impact Resistant, Inexpensive, Simple Cons: Kind of a tough squeeze Best Uses: Car Trunk for Emergencies, River Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I grew up in the Port of Los Angeles, though not actually in the harbor's waters. So anyway, earthquakes were pretty frequent. It behooves one to always have access to something that will make water potable.
By Average weekend warrior from San Diego on 08/20/2008 Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Product is good to keep in your pack for emergencies. Construction is fine, flow is a little slower than desired but more than adequate. Fellow hikers used and had no issues from lake water. Absolutely cannot beat the value.
Never worked - should have sent it back By BigJon from Marietta GA on 08/08/2008 Cons: Leaky Valve, Poor Construction What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the concept of the squeeze bottle water filter but try another brand. The quality of the plastic used will not support the amount of pressure required to push water through the filter and therefore it leaks like a sieve.
By jaimers from Durango, Colorado on 08/06/2008 Pros: Easy To Refill, Good Water Flow, Stable Best Uses: Commuting, Day Trips, Extended Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love this product. Its perfect for day hikes along mountain streams and so so easy to use. Plus it is only [$] and it works for 450 refills. it is well worth your money. Great for short backpacking trips
By yogimeg from Philly, PA on 07/28/2008 Best Uses: Day Trips, Extended Hikes Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I used this product at the Dunfield creek area along the A.T. I dipped it right into the creek and had fresh, drinkable water in seconds. it was amazing! i am very happy with the product!
Wanted more...doubts about new filter??? By CoyoteSong from Moran, WY on 07/26/2008 Best Uses: Day Trips, Extended Hikes Describe Yourself: Professional Guide What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a wilderness manager and have carried one in my saddlebags for about 7 years. I have two of the older models because I bought another for a back up for WHEN I lose the other :-)
Fits nicely in my saddle bags or backpack. Water is plentiful where I work so the capacity isn't a problem. Stop at a decent creek and voile! more water. My co-worker, who cares a regular filter, was admiring it today. When I said I was thinking about getting another spare, he asked me to get him one too. BUT, after reading some of the reviews about a new filter I think I'll wait until I swing by Cody to check what the fuss is about???
great filtration system for the price By reluctant summit hiker from Boston, MA on 07/23/2008 Pros: Easy To Refill, Good Water Flow Best Uses: Day Trips, Extended Hikes Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is the best price I could find on anything that claims to filter giardia and cryptosporidia. This item saves weight on White Mountain backcountry hikes that are along a clean stream, but there's a .5% chance of organisms. Better even than the "emergency" pills (most are not guaranteed effective against crypto).
Yes, it can be tough to start the flow, but if you unsquish the filter straw before squeezing the bottle, it's not tough overall.
We bought 2 already.
