Worked Great!

I got this filter before I did a multi day back country elk hunt this last fall. I loved the light weight compact size of it, and it filtered great and worked as intended when I had to do daily water runs to filter water for drinking. 10/10 worked as advertised and I didn't get sick. If you need a way to filter water I can't see any reason not to run this, it's a little small but it made quick work of filling my 7 liters of water storage.

Plenty In Patagonia

I have used the Katadyn BeFree in Alaska, the Boundary Waters in MN, and in Patagonia. It has been a consistent and reliable water filtration in the most remote areas. In Patagonia, my BeFree filtered water for three people, for 7 days and over 70 miles. As a newer backpacker worried about safe water, BeFree was easy to use. It filled easily in the rivers and streams and is lightweight and easy to pack. I would be careful about where and how you pack it to make sure you don't puncture it on rocks or anything sharp in your pack. To me, this is an essential piece of my backpacking kit.

Form Meets Function

Simplicity: 10/10… fill the water bag, close the lid and drink! You can carry it in your pocket or attached to your belt loop or backpack with a carrabener. Durability: 8/10 … excellent quality. The nature of what it is, there is some minor risk of puncturing the bag and losing the secondary charcoal filter. Packability: 10/10: maybe my favorite feature. No carrying extra weight or bulk with this. Packs down to nothing and shrinks as you drink the water. Flow rate: 8/10 … quick. As expected for the fiber style filter. A little slower with the secondary filter installed. Ease of cleaning: 10/10: so easy to just swish around the filter in the creak to clean debris. I am curious how effective this method is over time. Katadyn Group gave me this free product to try.

Solid Product

Only drawback is the slow flow rate, otherwise a great product. Primarily used to drink chemically filtered water and adjust flavor.

Best Filter I’ve Ever Used

Most convenient filter I’ve used. I’ve taken it on long runs in the mountains and filled up in springs along the way, the flow rate is very fast and easy to get water out of. I always carry one in my hunting pack and fill up when I find a water source . It’s super lightweight so you can squish it and keep the empty bottle in a pocket or pack.
