KATADYN BeFree water filter is an essential tool for mountaineering, especially when walking on mountaineering trails that lack water sources. When clean water is not available, it can filter dirty water mixed with sediment into clean and drinkable water, and can remove bacteria and The parasites have been reduced to a minimum, and I can only say that it feels great to have the BeFree water filter to drink wherever you go.
Best Used for:
- Mountaineering and Hiking

This reduces my carry weight which makes me more efficient, faster, and comfortable. The BeFree is probably one of the most important upgrades I've made to my hiking/running kit in a long time, which is amazing to me given how cheap it is.

I have the 5L for filling up water and keeping it at camp. This 1L is perfect size for keeping on you at all times. It i reliable and really easy to use. It barely takes up any space when empty and a lifesaver when you need it. Its ideal for places that have readily accessible water so you don't have to stock up and can always resupply. Sometimes I take it up for long multi-pitch climbs as the descent will often have water sources. Really cuts down on weight!

Good product for backup or primary water supply. I won't carry as much water in my pack because the Katadyn BFree lets me refill as I hike to my destination. Compact, lightweight, quick & easy hydration system without the fuss of gravity filter systems. I recommend this for hiking where natural surface water is readily available.

As a trail runner and backpacker I often need to purify water on the go. When the BeFree squeeze bottles came on the market, they were quickly adopted by every trail runner I know and now that I've tried it for myself, I can understand why! No more squeezing a million times through a tiny pump. No more waiting for chemicals to purify the water. Instead just fill the bottle and drink from it, or squeeze it to dispense water into a bladder. No funny taste. I've used this bottle many times now during runs and during several backpacking trips and it's worked really well. I do pack it with care in my pack since I worry that it might get damaged or punctured and I bring chemical water treatment as a backup for overnight trips, just to be safe. I've had the .6L flask for about 2 years and it's still working well. The .6L size is great for trail running since you can pop it into a front pocket on a running vest or pack. I bought this 1L size for my spouse who cycles off-road. I got tired of him poaching my Katadyn flask so I bought the 1L flask for him to use while out riding. Since he's wearing a larger pack and is on a bike the 1L size works well for him.
Best Used for:
- backpack camping
- Trail - run, race, hike, rain, etc.

Katadyn 1L Exactly what I expected! I have the 3 Liter as well for longer distances between water. Packs away small, so it doesn't take up much pack space. Perfect for hiking short and long distance! I am very happy with the product.
