Waterdrop Gravity Water Filter Straw, Portable Water Purifier Survival for Camping, Hiking, Backpacking and Emergency Preparedness

Arrived as expected and in prestine state. Haven't tested the filter yet though

Very good product

Fair price the stuff at MEC and Sail is overpriced. filtered water great we both drank 6+ litres while on camping trip from lake we were on no one was sick or felt off at all make sure when u backflush it you blow out the water inside it I wouldn't put it away with filter media saturated in water for storage.

I only received the big blue bag and hose no filter and small bottle is delivered, very poor delivery...

This filter is awesome, used it on a three day backpacking trip recently. No issues whatsoever. For everyone’s information however, the reservoir bag does not seal fully when filled. The top, although it folds nicely into a handle for carrying - which is amazing and super convenient - it does not prevent water from coming out the top if you, let’s say, put the bag down on the ground to get the straps adjusted or something. So the reservoir is not for carrying water for long distances, unless you’re prepared to always keep it upright and never put it down until you can hang it. Still super doable if you’re going short distances, it doesn’t spill when you’re holding it by the handle, just if you put it down on the ground while filled and it falls over. Other than that, this kit is awesome. Gives you the option of reversing the steps, instead of filtering the water into the small plastic water bottle pouch, you fill the plastic bag with the unfiltered water, screw the filter straw onto the pouch, and drink it directly out of the filter (basically a life straw). I think the bag might be half a liter that it comes with, so if you want a bigger pouch then you’ll have to order one. This is the way I’ve seen most through hikers using it, usually with the sawyer filter setup. But this filter gives you both options, filter the clean water from the reservoir into the plastic flexi pouch or any other bottles you want, or collect the unfiltered water into the flexi pouch, attach the filter directly to the pouch, and drink through the filter. Super lightweight, condenses into a really small volume, durable (I carried water in the reservoir for more than 5 miles, by hand, leaning it against a tree when I had to put it down, and the material held up). We used it for three days and that was more than two weeks ago, long enough for any water born sicknesses to have shown if it didn’t work. Great purchase.
