LifeStraw Peak Series - Collapsible Squeeze Bottle Water Filter System – 1L for Trail Running, Through Hiking, Travel, Cycling, and Fishing, Dark Mountain Gray

Used a few times and so far so good, filled up at few water sources with no ill effects nice and portable. I like the fact you can attach directly to a normal soft drinks bottle. Cleaning isn't too bad, long term storage is a bit challenging requiring to be stored wet. It's great quality though and worth while investment if your a hike or a camper.

I can't praise this product enough, I've been using now for a few years and it has been everywhere with me, complete off grip hiking and multiple nights away this is a dream to have, waters good to go on the move, it's small, light weight and durability is spot on. I have drunk water from all kinds of sources with this filter and it's amazing, if you maintain it as instructed it lasts a long time too, I rarely go off the beaten track without it.

I did a lot of research into which water filtration soft bottle would suit me. I needed something light and durable for long days trail running or hiking in the mountains, and decided this was the right one, as reviews attested to it being light, effective and durable. I've used it on two all-day trips since it arrived, and both times it was an absolute necessity. In fact, I ended up having to share my water with others who had run out of water and had no other option. I prefer to fill it from mountain streams or lakes but apparently you can even use it with standing water. It's a great bit of kit and I'm very happy with the quality and performance so far.

The LifeStraw delivers exactly what it promises: safe, clean drinking water from sources you wouldn’t normally trust. The initial flow rate was excellent, though it slowed noticeably after just a few uses. Thankfully, the included syringe makes backflushing simple and quickly restores performance when the filter clogs. Still, I would’ve given this 5 stars if it didn’t need backflushing so soon. On my recent trip through the most remote mountain pass in the UK, the Lairig Ghru, it proved invaluable. I could fill the pouch, attach the filter, and drink straight away, while also topping up bottles for my friends and me with safe water. At higher altitudes, the streams are likely safe to drink untreated, but down in the glens and valleys, that’s not the case. Having the LifeStraw gave us confidence and kept us properly hydrated throughout the journey. During the Scottish Cairn Toul–Braeriach traverse, we relied on it heavily at the Wells of Dee, where stagnant water from weeks of sunshine and little rainfall looked and smelled unpleasant. Definitely not something you’d want to drink untreated. With the filter, however, we could refill, rehydrate, and keep pushing forward to complete the hike strong. And since I’m still alive, kicking, and not glued to a toilet a couple weeks later, I’d say the filter does exactly what it promises. Thanks for surviving my long review — now go survive the wild, and don’t forget to stay safe and hydrated out there!

Bought as a gift for my son and he absolutely loves it. Nice and light ad has been used extensively in the Scottish highlands, it’s the first thing he packs.

Very disappointed, just started my trip abroad to India and first time using this and the seal leaks everywhere. Seems like a poor design. I am frustrated I didn’t test this before I went but wrongly assumed it would work. Now I don’t have the correct equipment for my trek. Very poor

My number one positive for the Lifestraw soft bottle is that although it does infuse a platicky taste into the water, it is much less than on any other similar bottle I have used. It is sometimes difficult to assess how effective the filter is since you do not know if you woulde have suffered had you not used it and drunk the unfiltered water. Most recently I used my Lifestraw bottle during a trip to Bolivia where tap water is generally not considered to be drinking water, with no ill effects. A minor fuss is that the filter should be wet stored, in salt water solution, when not in use. I would also like to use this bottle without the filter when I know the water is safe but the mouth piece supplied is not ideal since it is basically an open hole with nothing to stop water spilling out without the filter in place. An optional bite valve would be great.

Bottle is good quality and holds a good amount of water. Looks stylish and easy to drink from. Got this on prime day so only paid £40 which is good value for the bottle. Not used abroad yet so will update once I have.

Skickades tillbaks då den var trasig vid leverans. Det märktes att paketet var öppnat innan jag fick det. och korken måste ha varit åtdragen för hårt för gängorna hade spräckt plasten vid flaskhalsen. Att den dessutom var tidigare använd och inte ny i förpackning gjorde mig besviken.

Portable, good size, easy to fill and provides peace of mind where water quality is a concern,

Wat een heerlijk, fijne LifeStraw is dit! Voor het eerste gebruik wel goed de handleiding lezen of de instructievideo van LifeStraw bekijken. Ook om het filter werkend te houden is dit van belang. Om de chemische smaak weg te krijgen heb ik een alternatieve tip: de LifeStraw (ZONDER FILTER!) met wat water en een beetje tandpasta vullen. Dichtmaken en goed schudden dat het lekker gaat schuimen. Vervolgens leeg knijpen en een paar keer naspoelen. Het filter zelf meermaals goed doorspoelen, en daarna heb je misschien nog een beetje mint-smaak van je tandpasta, maar voor de rest heerlijk fris water! Wat heerlijk om veilig water uit de bergstroompjes te kunnen drinken.

Na een paar weken gebruikt werd het steeds moeilijker om eruit te drinken. Er was veel weerstand dus ik probeerde de meegeleverde pomp maar ook dan was het nog niet mogelijk om het weer te gebruiken.

Went on a 5 day solo hike, with streams all around me. Water tasted great, and I liked that this was easy to pack and is so light weight.
