Tested by IvyEverything in this shop went out on a real trip with me before it earned a listing. Wet, cold, dropped, packed out. This one passed.
The creek looks clear right up to the moment you remember what might be upstream. This ultra filtration water purifier straw settles it with a 0.01 micron membrane, so you can drink directly from lakes, rivers, and streams the way you would from a fountain.
0.01 micron membrane, a cluster of micro fibrous tubes fine enough to screen what your eyes never will.
Activated carbon stage takes the murky taste and odor out of wild water.
Rated for a minimum 530 gallons (2,000 liters), which is seasons of trips from one straw.
Straw-simple operation: uncap it, put the intake in the source, and drink, with caps on both ends to keep it clean in your pack.
Clip it into the lid pocket and every water crossing on the map becomes a refill point.
