The Sawyer Micro Squeeze filter straw has the reputation of being the most durable on the market with its 375,000 litre capacity. Its featherweight makes it an accessory highly appreciated by hikers seeking lightness.
The Sawyer Micro Squeeze water filter is a compact, ultralight microfilter designed for hiking, trekking, travel, and emergency situations. Weighing just 52 g, it fits in the palm of your hand and helps minimise the amount of water you need to carry when water sources are available along your route.
Its hollow fibre membrane removes bacteria and protozoa found in freshwater. The filter can be used directly as a straw in a river or spring, or screwed onto the included 1-litre soft flask.
Its thread is also compatible with many plastic bottles and water pouches with a 28 mm opening. This versatility lets you choose the most suitable container for each trip and filter water directly into a bottle or other vessel.
The Sawyer Micro Squeeze requires no replacement cartridge. A syringe is included for backflushing to maintain membrane flow rate after repeated use. With proper care, the filter can treat up to 375,000 litres of water.
Its main advantage over a complete filtering bottle is its weight-to-capacity-to-modularity ratio. It can be used on its own or with various containers, while remaining extremely compact in your pack.
