Sawyer Water Filter Review Average Hiker
The Sawyer Water Filter Review describes a filter that is easy to use, reliable, and durable. After a lot of research, I decided to use this filter on my 2020 Colorado Trail hike.
Sawyer makes the Sawyer Squeeze and the Sawyer Mini. The Sawyer Mini is a lighter filter, but I need a durable filter that is not prone to clogging like the Sawyer Mini Filter. The Sawyer Squeeze is only one ounce more than the Mini.
Sawyer Water Filter Review – My Requirements
- Bacteria & Protozoa Removal – I am not too concerned about virus removal since I mostly backpack and hike in the US. If this changes, then I will look at alternatives like pump filters or chemical treatments.
- Ease of Use – When I filter, I do not want a lot of moving parts like hoses, batteries, canisters, etc.
- Light Weight – Weight is essential. Filters and treatments are not that heavy, but a few extra ounces here and there eventually add up to a few extra pounds.
