SHOP PRODUCTSA Thru-Hiker’s Water Filter Dream Team: Sawyer Squeeze Filter + CNOC Bladder Review
I used an early version of the Sawyer Squeeze water filter during a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and while it filtered admirably until the end, one thing was immediately clear: the original foil “squeeze” bladders were junk.
They filled hiker boxes throughout southern California, all presumably pinholed and binned in favor of other solutions. The fix many settled on was to pivot to a soft TPU bladder, like the CNOC Vecto, which didn’t collect holes and was much easier to scoop from shallow sources thanks to its wide-mouth opening.
