    The only thing more important than staying light on your feet during a long hike is staying properly hydrated with clean, bacteria-free water. Now any water source you pass can be a place to refill your water bottles and canteens without hauling a heavy, bulky water-purifying system. These lightweight filters pack away compactly into your gear and deliver up to one quart of water per minute. Weighing only 11 ounces and measuring only 6-1/2" high, the hiker is one of the easiest filters to operate on the market. The 129 square inches of pleated 0.3 micron glassfiber filtration media grabs particles and holds them tight while permitting clean water to pass. Includes prefilter, universal bottle adapter and carry bag. You get 1 quart per minute/200-gallons of life per cartridge. Replacement cartridges are available.
    Weight: 11-oz.
    Height: 6-1/2"

    Great filter, May 2, 2009
    By Sandbox from Ft. Bragg, NC

    "Worked great on it's first trip out with me. The creek water was still sort of yellow after filtering, but it didn't taste bad or make me sick. Filter is light and compact, produces water fast enough."

    Small and Light, March 30, 2009
    By cosdiv12

    "I sure hope this works when I need it. It is just what I was looking for , but as of yet I have been unable to try it out. It is small, light and comes with it's own carrying case , which is really good. This should fit right well in my back pack."

    Great for hiking, February 9, 2009
    By akgirl907 from Alaska

    "I have not used mine yet but I have used friend's and it worked great. It filters water fast. This summer at a base camp we filled a 10 gallon container in no time using two of these. I love that the filter does not have to be changed out often."

    BEST DRINK OF WATER ON A LONG HIKE, July 21, 2008
    By LEAWLL from EMMAUS, PA

    "I bought the Katadyn Microfilter for a long hike. The filter worked flawlessly. There were 16 of us, which meant a lot of hydro packs to refill. There were a few other micro filters there as well. All of the filters were the Katadyn Microfilter. Each bag, bladder, or water bottle was filled quickly with clean water. Each time we stopped to refill, the water tasted fresh, with no bad aftertast. The micro filter was also very easy to clean. This is a necessary item for long hikes. I would recommend this to anyone."

    Worth Every Penny, October 2, 2007
    By DavidXJ from Visalia, CA

    "On our recent backpacking trip we used the Katadyn Hiker Water Microfilter and some other new filter. The Katadyn blew the other filter away. They are not exaggerating when they say it can pump 1 quart of water per minute. That is being conservative. The pump is easy to use, and doesn't fatique your arm and hands like some of the pumps I've owned in the past. This is the best pump for the money that I have experienced to date."

    Katadyn Hiker Water Microfilter, August 7, 2007
    By FrankRobert from Maine

    "I have used this product on two week long canoe trips.
    I can't say enough good things about its small size and convenience. The assembly instructions in the package were not great. However, it is simple to assemble once you figure it out.

    Excellent water filter, November 21, 2006
    By BobbyBanana from Washington State

    "The Katadyn Hiker water microfilter is a useful addition to our backpacking gear. Instead of carrying many pounds of water in our packs, we carry one or two full bottles and some empty ones which we fill at need in a stream or lake. Water tastes just great."

    Katadyn Hiker Water Microfilter, November 21, 2006
    By BuddyHunters from Fort Collins, Colorado

    "This is my second filter of this kind because I lost my old one. I do a lot of backcountry backpacking and hunting. Having a good filter is a must. I drink more water than I can possibly carry in a day. I rely on the mountain streams and my filter to keep me hydrated."
