Do you ever wish that you could drink from crystal clear creeks, alpine lakes, or mountain streams? Well, you can when you bring the Katadyn BeFree Water Filtration System on your next adventure. This compact water bottle with integrated filter makes a great choice for outdoor pursuits and travels to faraway places where tap water is suspect.

Simply fill up the flask and let the EZ-Clean Membrane do all the work. It's effective against microorganisms and even suitable for cloudy water. And when it's not filled, the collapsible bottle packs up small so you can stash it in tight spaces.

I use it on one of my dirt biking trips and work just the way i needed it to.

Love this product! So fast!
I started bringing this on family hiking trips with my kids while I was training for a week long backpacking trip. The kids love it, they can refill their collapsible water bottles in a breeze. (We avoid drinking directly from it since multiple people use it.) I took it with on a week long backpacking trip in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana/ Wyoming. Everyone would have to take their packs off to get their gravity filters and pumps out but not me this little guy fit in a small side pocket and refilled everything in no time. My whole crew started borrowing it while we were on the go. I love it!! I was water purification for the Army, I can see sooo many applications for these. Even purified water can become contaminated and hospitalize a whole unit. If these were used as water bottles, a lot of this could be prevented. Personally I even used it to purify the water in the campground as an added safety measure. But then again, I have a reverse osmosis system in my house. Seriously I love this product!!!

Pretty good filter system
I like this system for backpacking, but my recent purchase seems to have gone down in quality pretty quickly. On my first trip, the bag sprung a hole, and the filter speed slowed down within a few days, despite using in pretty clean and sediment free water. I'll still continue to buy the filters and like that the bag is lightweight, but I hope to get a longer use out of both next time!

Compact!
this is super small and easy to bring anywhere. I have been opting to bring this instead of a additional water bottle on day outings.

Lightweight, quick flow water filter. Does the trick and can be used as a gravity filter too.

Preliminary Impressions Are Good
Started using this filter about 3 months ago. I've put probably 1-2 gallons of water through it in the backcountry so far. The bad is easy to fill in running and still water, has a large mouth. Reasonable filter speed. I would probably hesitate to use this filter in murky or silty water. On first impression the cleaning method seems to dislodge sediment easily, but I'll need to do more testing. So far it seems to be an excellent backpacking filter. Packs down small. If you break the bottle cap that comes on it you can just replace it with one of those sippy caps from a smartwater bottle.

I've used this filter on the Arizona Trail and bikepacking adventures in the NW. It compacts down small which is nice. You have to have patience with it when squeezing water through to another water bottle because the flow rate seems slow. More time to enjoy your surroundings. I'd be hesitant to try and filter murky water as the filter has slowed some from only about 4 gallons of pretty clear stream water.

No other filter id rather have with me.
After 3 years with this filter, I can comfortably say it's the best utilitarian thing out there. Works well, have never had any issues besides the flow rate slowing down after a few years of glacier melt water with silt gunking up the filter. Will definitely replace this with another one.

Amazing product
Having a lightweight water filter that works as easily as this one is hard to beat, whether it be mountain biking, backpacking or anything in between somehow it finds its way Into my bag.
