Terieb from United States, KY Public Profile

Our son loves these bottles, though he uses the larger size, so I chose these on his recommendation. I purchased them to use with the Katadyn pocket filter that we bought from Campsaver.com at the same time. They are going right in the back packs. I do note that the seal is nice, no leaking when fastened properly. Also, very durable and I believe would be hard to crack if dropped. And very important, no BPA! I purchased the clear so I could "clearly" see the contents.

I admit I have not yet used this filter. I purchased it more to have on hand in case of an emergency need for water than for camping trips. It was highly recommended by a survivalist blogger I follow. He travels the world and has been in many 3rd world countries and said he has used the same Katadyn pocket filter for at least 20 years. He said to buy one NOW so I did. It is very nicely made, but a bit heavier than I expected. Not too heavy for a backpack but a bit large and heavy for a "pocket", even a cargo pocket. I hope I never need it for the reason I purchased it, but will definitely be taking it on camping trips to try it out, and I am considering buying one for each of our adult boys. It comes with a roomy case that easily holds all the tubing and lubricant as well as the users guide I printed from this website.
