Katadyn Hiker Water Microfilter

I did quite a bit of research before buying this filter and was under the impression that it was a reliable, effective device. After about the fourth use, though, the input barb snapped off while I was attaching the input hose. I''ve included a photo in the customer images section. I suppose the problem could be avoided if you never detach the input hose once you''ve put it on, but I was bagging the hoses separately to avoid cross-contamination.

Silver lining: I e-mailed the company about the problem and they responded just a day later. They said that both hoses are designed to be removed after use, the barb shouldn''t have broken off, and offered to mail me a replacement body for the filter that''s pretty great customer service.

As someone who trecks winter and summer I found this to be the best and fastest way to get filtered water. It is easy to use, light weight, pumps a lot of water quickly and is a tried and true piece of equiptment. This is the second i''ve purchased. Wouldnt go with any other one.

I have tried several water purifiers as I frequently travel to third world countries with questionable water supplies. I like this one better than any other I have used. You can quickly get a good quantity of water'' It is much easier to use than the Xstream that I used to use.

I have used it all over the world. It is easy to pack and easy to use. It is a winner in every way.

I have used this little guy for awhile now during long hikes in the Sierra''s. It delivers clear clean water from the rivers and streams that I have used it in. To date I have not had any bad experiences with it or the water that I have drank. The size is small enough that it fits nicely in one of the small side pockets of my pack. Also the weight is almost non existant. I would recomend this to a friend.

Awesome filter. took this on a 33 mile hike in Pisgah National forest and it kept me alive. I only carried this and a container to pump into, so that I wouldnt be carrying water weight. Love it
