Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

"Best Filter for the Money(in my opinion) My brother and I have been doing quite a few three day fast-pack trips in the past three months. Our first trip we took the Iodine and Iodine Taste Remover Caplets. Then my brother bought the Hiker Pro. I must say, while hiking in the Shannandoa, George Washington National - and many other small state parks - I have never had such great tasting and pure water than what I drank from this filter. It was like a religious moment when we found cold water also. I must say, from using this product for three to four months now, I wont be buying any other water filters. Its great for fast-packing because of the low weight and packability, and also great because of the option of getting the quick connect for your water bladder which makes fill ups go twice as fast. I recommend getting this product!"

" Nice tasting water The Hiker Pro is a good, solid, lightweight water filter that will not leave a bad taste in your mouth. I bought it just because of the quick disconnect features but got a whole lot more in return. It is easy to use and is compact enough that it doesn't take up a whole lot of room in your pack. There aren't a lot of parts to it, so field maintenance (if needed) is a breeze. I recommend it highly and have convinced several of my friends to get one of their own. "

" Back saver We recently purchased the Katadyn Hiker Pro Microfilter for our backpacking trip to the Na Pali Coast on the island of Kauai. What a wonderful purchase, period! Our packs were at least 25 pounds lighter. No to mention the great tasting water, don't go backpacking without it."

" Go with the Pro This is simply the best filter out there. After seeing the Hiker in action last summer, I had to get one. I went with the Hiker Pro for the added features. The hydration adapter works great. I take the bite valve off my CamelBak and the fitting plugs in and I can backfill it while it is still in my pack. This filter is super easy to use and maintain."

" works great This works great I would get the filter if I was you. Remember to always filter the water first with a coffee filter. Great pumping action fills a gallon in about 5 minutes, not bad."
