Gear Junkie magazine has named our Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter "Best in Show" of 2012's "Latest and Greatest Outdoor Gear." Gear Junkie put a multitude of outdoor gear to the test, but only selected "products for 2012 that represent true innovation in the outdoors industry and some of the neatest new gear ever made." They gave our water filter system a glowing review, calling it "super intuitive and easy to use." Thanks, Gear Junkie!
