Overview
Not a squeeze-only filter, the Platypus QuickDraw Gravity hangs from its handle to filter hands-free, then converts to squeezing when you want it. A hose, bottle adapter and threaded caps link it to many containers.
Small groups get hands-free filtering at camp and a squeeze option on the move. Its many adapters make it flexible but add parts to keep track of.
Who it's for
Pairs and small groups on fast trips suit this system. Anyone needing virus removal should choose a purifier.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Gravity flow depends on how high the bag hangs and how clean the fibers are. The Integrity Check and backflushing confirm the filter still works and restore speed.
