Overview
A thru-hiker counting ounces gets a compact squeeze filter with a wide-mouth dirty bag that fills quickly at any source. The ConnectCap threads the clean side straight onto a standard bottle.
Solo hikers get fast flow in a system light enough to vanish in a pocket. With a one liter bag, camp water for a group takes many refills.
Who it's for
Long trails with frequent water sources suit this filter. Groups filtering for several people should look at the larger system.
Pros and cons
- Very light and pocketable
- Fast squeeze flow
- Wide-mouth reservoir fills easily
- Works with common bottles
- Small reservoir needs frequent refills
- Does not remove viruses
- No hose for bladders listed
Performance notes
Flow comes from squeezing the bag through the hollow fiber cartridge, slowing as debris builds. A quick shake or backflush clears the fibers to restore speed.
