Sawyer Micro Squeeze Review

Our Verdict
The Sawyer Micro Squeeze is a good on-to-go system that recently lost its Editor's Choice status. Of the Sawyer products, it's the second-smallest system.

It can access a plethora of water sources and comes with a straw, the filter, a syringe for cleaning, and a 32-oz collapsible water bottle. Not only that, but the filter can easily screw onto a conventional water bottle, making it highly adaptable.
