Why we like it

All good outdoor adventure are fueled by s'mores, granola bars, and hot dogs. But it's also critical to stay well hydrated.

With a 33.8-ounce capacity, the water bottle filters out bacteria, parasites, sand, dirt, and even microplastics from your drinking water. Pack this along when you're camping and you'll be able to drink from the lake, stream, or river. The included membrane microfilter lasts for about 1,000 gallons which means you'll be hydrated to the max.
