Mapitio ya Squeeze ya Sawyer

Our Verdict
If a lightweight personal filtration system is next on your wishlist this season, consider the Sawyer Squeeze as one of your options. This popular filtration system stands out as being lightweight and versatile in a crowded market. It is perfect for one or two people and features a 3-in-1 design. You can drink water directly from the source through the filter, connect it to your hydration bladder, or squeeze water into another bottle. It easily packs into a small running pack and almost disappears in your backpacking bag. While we love the filter itself, we know that it doesn't take much to rip a hole in the bags it comes with. While this flaw isn't fatal, due to the versatile attachment options, it's difficult to recommend a filter that isn't fully functional. Durability flaws aside, this filter is worthy of your consideration due to its lightweight, versatile, and reliable filter design, which is extremely affordable. Check out how it compares to the competition in our review of backpacking water filters.

Review Editor

After finishing up her B.Sc and B.Ed in 2009, Amber moved to the U.S.A from Canada. Drawn in by dreams of climbing perfect cracks and exploring new areas, she found herself in a few new places like Utah, Washington, and Arizona. When getting to the San Juans of Southwest Colorado - she found home. Along her journey she discovered trail running as a new found love. Completing her first half-marathon, full-marathon, and ultra-marathon within one year, she continues her education in becoming an endurance athlete. When taking a rest day, she can be found playing with her pack raft or split boarding in the backcountry. When she is working , you can find her tinkering with experiments as a high school science teacher.

Our new friend, Oats, at Sawyer gave our Sawyer filters a bath and also gave us a whole new bottle of permethrin for free!
