Overview
Backpackers who need a camp water supply get a soft TPU reservoir that carries, filters and stores water, then folds into a small bag. A low profile handle and lashpoints make it easy to pour, hang or strap to a pack.
Doing several jobs in camp is the case for it: water carrier, gravity or squeeze filter bag, and an ice pack when frozen. Protection stops at bacteria, cysts and microplastics, so viruses are not covered.
Who it's for
Campers and hikers setting up a water station at camp will use it daily. People needing a purifier for questionable water sources should add a virus treatment.
Pros and cons
- Folds into the included storage bag
- Freezes as an ice pack
- Takes warm water
- Handle and lashpoints for carrying
- Virus removal not listed
- Volume stated only in the title
Performance notes
Flow through the filter depends on squeeze pressure or hanging height and on how clean the source water is. Abrasion resistant TPU holds up to being crushed in a pack. Hot water beyond the stated limit can damage the material.
