Written by The Katadyn Hiker Water filter is an excellent choice for short trips into the wilderness.
It is very lightweight and can be hooked up to a water bag to extend its size. It is easy to pump and fits nicely in any overhaul or even a large coat pocket!
With its relatively small size, the Katadyn Hiker is not meant for long term use and is more for those daily hikes into the hills rather than a week long stay in the mountains. With a retail price of just £70 it is a great bargain and an excellent water purifier, removing 99% of bacteria.
