Quickest way to filter water on the go

by Erin R., Gear Expert from UT, United States Written on April 2, 2019
By far the easiest way to filter water when backpacking or trail running through terrain with lots of natural water sources. I prefer this to all other methods I've tried (pumps, squeeze, gravity, tablets, etc.) Very quick and fits in my trail running packs really well.
Most Helpful Positive Review Great bottle to carry
My wife just took this on a 4 day 33 mile backpacking trip and lived the wide mouth for filling and the fast flow rate for refilling everyone's water bottle. The flow out of this to my cooking pot is amazing. I filled up my backpack hydration pack because this is so fast.

Lightweight and simple

by Allie, Verified Owner from Taiwan Written on January 4, 2024
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.

Perfect Compact Water Filter

by hudub, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on September 7, 2021
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!

Quick convenient filling and no plastic aftertaste

by HENGLI CHEN, from DE, United States Written on August 12, 2021
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.

Easy, Fast Water Purification - My Go-To!

by Gabrielle, from WA, United States Written on July 10, 2021
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.
  • Water filter
