LifeStraw Peak Series - Collapsible Squeeze Bottle Water Filter System – 650ml for Trail Running, Through Hiking, Travel, Cycling, and Fishing, Dark Mountain Gray

My katadyn one kept being replaced for leaks so tried this one instead finally. So far it’s great. Very sturdy. Haven’t got giardia.

Works really well and love that it comes with a backwash syringe to clean it after use.

Used a few times and so far so good, filled up at few water sources with no ill effects nice and portable. I like the fact you can attach directly to a normal soft drinks bottle. Cleaning isn't too bad, long term storage is a bit challenging requiring to be stored wet. It's great quality though and worth while investment if your a hike or a camper.

This is in relation to the 1l size as last year we had the smaller size and they worked a treat! This purchase was opened whilst in the field, South Africa, on a student, educational trip and it leaked so bad that it could not be used. In that situation you don’t want this to happen. Not leakproof, just leaked and unable to use. A high priced item and unable to return as the window closed. Test at home and don’t trust the fact that other versions have worked fine!

The LifeStraw delivers exactly what it promises: safe, clean drinking water from sources you wouldn’t normally trust. The initial flow rate was excellent, though it slowed noticeably after just a few uses. Thankfully, the included syringe makes backflushing simple and quickly restores performance when the filter clogs. Still, I would’ve given this 5 stars if it didn’t need backflushing so soon. On my recent trip through the most remote mountain pass in the UK, the Lairig Ghru, it proved invaluable. I could fill the pouch, attach the filter, and drink straight away, while also topping up bottles for my friends and me with safe water. At higher altitudes, the streams are likely safe to drink untreated, but down in the glens and valleys, that’s not the case. Having the LifeStraw gave us confidence and kept us properly hydrated throughout the journey. During the Scottish Cairn Toul–Braeriach traverse, we relied on it heavily at the Wells of Dee, where stagnant water from weeks of sunshine and little rainfall looked and smelled unpleasant. Definitely not something you’d want to drink untreated. With the filter, however, we could refill, rehydrate, and keep pushing forward to complete the hike strong. And since I’m still alive, kicking, and not glued to a toilet a couple weeks later, I’d say the filter does exactly what it promises. Thanks for surviving my long review — now go survive the wild, and don’t forget to stay safe and hydrated out there!

My number one positive for the Lifestraw soft bottle is that although it does infuse a platicky taste into the water, it is much less than on any other similar bottle I have used. It is sometimes difficult to assess how effective the filter is since you do not know if you woulde have suffered had you not used it and drunk the unfiltered water. Most recently I used my Lifestraw bottle during a trip to Bolivia where tap water is generally not considered to be drinking water, with no ill effects. A minor fuss is that the filter should be wet stored, in salt water solution, when not in use. I would also like to use this bottle without the filter when I know the water is safe but the mouth piece supplied is not ideal since it is basically an open hole with nothing to stop water spilling out without the filter in place. An optional bite valve would be great.

I did a lot of research into which water filtration soft bottle would suit me. I needed something light and durable for long days trail running or hiking in the mountains, and decided this was the right one, as reviews attested to it being light, effective and durable. I've used it on two all-day trips since it arrived, and both times it was an absolute necessity. In fact, I ended up having to share my water with others who had run out of water and had no other option. I prefer to fill it from mountain streams or lakes but apparently you can even use it with standing water. It's a great bit of kit and I'm very happy with the quality and performance so far.

Used this on a remote walk in the Highlands and was brilliant.

Antes de escribir una reseña he esperado para probar el producto, pues puedo decir que no pensaba que podía funcionar tan bien! He usado esta botella en dos viajes, a Jordania y Brasil, rellenando siempre con agua de grifo y no he tenido problemas. El filtro funciona de maravilla y tiene un sabor raro solo un poco al principio porqué nuevo. La botella aguanta mucho y es pratica porqué se puede doblar cuando está vacía. Recomendado 100%

Skickades tillbaks då den var trasig vid leverans. Det märktes att paketet var öppnat innan jag fick det. och korken måste ha varit åtdragen för hårt för gängorna hade spräckt plasten vid flaskhalsen. Att den dessutom var tidigare använd och inte ny i förpackning gjorde mig besviken.

Wat een heerlijk, fijne LifeStraw is dit! Voor het eerste gebruik wel goed de handleiding lezen of de instructievideo van LifeStraw bekijken. Ook om het filter werkend te houden is dit van belang. Om de chemische smaak weg te krijgen heb ik een alternatieve tip: de LifeStraw (ZONDER FILTER!) met wat water en een beetje tandpasta vullen. Dichtmaken en goed schudden dat het lekker gaat schuimen. Vervolgens leeg knijpen en een paar keer naspoelen. Het filter zelf meermaals goed doorspoelen, en daarna heb je misschien nog een beetje mint-smaak van je tandpasta, maar voor de rest heerlijk fris water! Wat heerlijk om veilig water uit de bergstroompjes te kunnen drinken.

Elle rempli très bien sa fonction. Top pour le bivouac sur plusieurs jours. Plus besoin de chercher des sources d'eau potable.

Na een paar weken gebruikt werd het steeds moeilijker om eruit te drinken. Er was veel weerstand dus ik probeerde de meegeleverde pomp maar ook dan was het nog niet mogelijk om het weer te gebruiken.
