A filtration rate of 100,000 gallons is plenty for even the most avid outdoorsmen. Depending on your situation, you can use the filter inline along with your favorite hydration pack tubing or even as an ultra-light filter when you’re out hiking.

As an added bonus, the cap fits most standard wide-mouth water bottles, so you can switch the filter between compatible bottles.

This filtered water bottle is ideal for hiking and daily use, as well as domestic travel.
