A staple in water filters.
The katadyn hiker is one of the most popular water filters for hikers and campers. The product is easy to use and clean, it also has a great compact design and travel bag.

Love this filter
Pumps water quickly (much faster than a squeeze filter). Setup and breakdown is a bit more of a process though so I tend to use this filter if I'm going to be filtering for multiple people, like a backpacking trip with friends, and a squeeze for solo missions. Easy to use, would recommend.

Katadyn water filters are always my go-to, usually use this one for base camping/canoe camping over backpacking just because of the weight but a favorite nonetheless!

GREAT!
I have been using a version of this filter for 10+ years. It works great pumps water at a great speed and cleans eaily. Have placed quick release on intake and output so I can hook directly to my hydration bladder with out taking out of my pack. The filter seems to last quite a while with proper care and prefiltering water. It's more reliable than my old MSR filter and easier to pump. Really like this filter

Used on a back pack sheep hunt and worked great, carried a couple Nalgene bottles to fill up. Will buy another to keep in the truck for just in case

Water Filter
I think this product is great, I’ve used many, this is filter i always pick to take with me in the back country. It’s easy to use and doesn’t take long to pump straight into my Osprey Water Bag, with the nozzles

Hiker Water Filter
Seemed to filter, but have to do it slow due to the threads being busted on the housing. Too much pressure and it’ll shoot dirty water over the housing and onto the hoses/clothing. Normally use a sawyer, thought I would step it up. This is the third filter I’ve gotten in a year (to include the ‘pro’) to have a misshapen housing and/or a burred thread. Thought I’d take advantage of the deal but was left questioning my water source on the AZT. Buy once cry once I guess, gonna shell out for the nice metal/ceramic ones if I’m not running my lil sawyer.

Great group filter
I gave four stars because the cleaning of this filter requires a toothbrush and I usually only carry one when hiking.

Light and extremely effective
Light, extremely simple, and effective. Carry on every backpacking trip. Filters water fast and I’ve got mine set up to quick connect between direct connection to a camelback straw and a hooked tube to fill a bottle easily with minimal bulk and weight.

So far, so good.
Very light weight and compact. Feels a little delicate, but it’s held up well so far. Of course I haven’t taken a good spill with it yet. Easy, and dare I say, a silky smooth pump. Tight port connections with no leak issues. Easy to take apart and clean. Filter is good quality. If you want to up the filter game this pump is Interchangeable with the pro version. My son said the standard issued filter gave the water a refreshing “cucumber taste.” 😂! I didn’t notice that, I just thought it was good and clean. And I’ve yet to come down with any parasitic symptoms so I’d say we’re doing good so far. Comes with a bladder and bottle fitting. I haven’t tried the bladder connector yet. The bottle fitting is designed for two different opening sizes. Only complaint with the bottle fitting is that it’s a hard smooth plastic, so if you’re on an uneven surface, or pump to rigorously, it’s slipping out. It’d be nice to have a soft plastic that you could fit in nice and snug. Transfer tubing on the other hand is very soft and compliant, so naturally it likes to pinch occasionally on the outport (which sits on the top of the pump) if you’re holding the pump too high or at an awkward angle. An elbow connector for the outport tubing would eliminate this occasional issue. All in all I’m happy with the purchase and will continue to keep an eye on the products coming out from Katadyn. Maybe an elbow connector is in the future…
