HydraPak 28mm Filter Kit - Water Filtration Accessory - Fast Flow - Perfect for Hiking, Camping, Travel, and Emergency Preparedness

Exactly as described and easy to use

I bought this filter to use on a backpacking trip. I loved the fact that it was compatible with reservoirs and water bottles. I didn't have the highest of expectations, but this filter is 10x better than I was expecting. The adapters are easy to use/understand, it's compatible with my gear AND it does a great job filtering. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a lightweight, easy to use filter that's super compatible.

It is a nanotube filter, and works pretty much the same as any other nano-tube filter on the market (Sawyer Squeeze, Katadyn Befree, etc.). In that regard, it is not better or worse than any of the others. What sets this apart is how it can be attached to various bottles. I bought a plug and play cap for my bottle, and a Plug N play quick disconnect from Hydrapak, and using these items, I can connect the clean water end of my filter directly to my water bladder hose, and filter water straight in to my water bladder without taking it out of my backpack. Total game changer. Also, if the bottle where to break/tear, I can always connect it directly in line to my water bladder as the original design intended. You can use this filter in several ways you cant with other filters, making it a lot more convenient.

I got this after one too many experiences at festivals drinking weird-tasting water. I know Insomniac claims that they filter their water but I beg to differ. I had to jerry-rig this filter to my Osprey hydration pack by cutting the tubing at the exiting end of the hydration bladder short (about 1.5 inches left) and inserting it in the filter that way. To prevent the filter from moving around too much, I duct-taped it to the bladder. It's not the most elegant-looking solution but it works. My water tastes fresh with no weird tastes. The only downside is that the filter doesn't "open" up like the Camelbak branded one so you can't clean it. However, I like this Hydrapak one more because it is clear and I can see if mold or other nasties are growing in it. When the filter gets more mileage, I'll probably replace it with the same one.

I purchased as a gift. It's small and compact making it perfect weight for backpacking. Great value. Looks like it would filter out taste and smell and be easy to clean!

seems to be good quality and does fit the rave beetle hydro pack so you can filter the water at the festivals

This little thing is amazing and super versatile the price is super affordable also it's so convenient to click right in and attach to water bladder for my hiking bag and its super easy to clean also highly recommend trying it out for yourself!!!

Purchased to use an inline filter for when I’m doing multi-day hikes/camping. Works great so far, attached easily to an Osprey 3L bladder.
