LifeStraw Personal Water Filter for Hiking, Camping, Travel, and Emergency Preparedness

I bought this LifeStraw for our emergency kit and camping trips, and it gives such peace of mind. It’s lightweight, easy to pack, and simple to use—just pop it into any water source and drink. The water comes out tasting clean with no weird aftertaste. I haven’t had to use it in a true emergency yet, but I tested it on a hike at a creek, and it worked perfectly. Definitely a must-have for anyone who spends time outdoors or wants to be prepared at home.

Used in Central America, where there was only river water; didn't get sick!

Love it so far haven't got to use it though.

An emergency must-have. Yes you can drink your own pee (please dont do that). This is something that everyone should have in their emergency kit. It really cant get any more easy to use than this. The filter is so fast that its ready to drink by the time the liquid hits your mouth. Its a bit on the larger side for a straw but in a situation that you would need to use this, I dont think you'd mind. I would attach a picture but I literally bought two of them and they sit in my emergency bag in a closet.

I don't plan to drink muddy water just because this will filter it (look at the ad photos), but it's always good to have with you when you're gallivanting through the wilderness. Always carry water with you but keep this in your backpack just in case you find yourself stuck or lost in the wilderness. It's affordable, and definitely worth your life.

I have not used them yet, but I’m hoping that they’ll be

Me encanta este filtro de agua para sobrevivencia

Always be prepared.

Good product It’s really a game changer when travelling to remote areas with limited access to drinking water. Should be in every hiker’s backpack !

Looks ok, but the package leaves the mouthpiece on the Lifestraw unprotected. I would have preferred a sealed product, just to be sure its not tampered with or potentially dirty.

Zadziałało raz i przestało.

Non così comodo come credevo, tuttavia l'ho usato in ruscelli di montagna in emergenza, sembra aver fatto il suo.

Not the most optimal flowrate and build quality is mediocre. I received it in a cardboard stand without a packaging that seals the unit from tampering. This could be dangerous as it could have been used, tested or replaced by someone and then returned to Amazon as "new". I noticed though som buyers get it in a sealed plastic bags and some not. As for the unit it seems new albeit dusty on the outside due to probably the Amazon storage. Unit feels robust and well designed. Minus 2 stars is for packaging. Plastic retention clips are weak and of bad material and cracks like styrofoam. You risk loosing the cap and the bottom cap should have more retention as it easily flaps around by slightest force. For what you pay it does feel like Ling Long materials bar perhaps the inside but then they are produced and assembled in China and then packaged and/or assembled in Mexico, South Korea or USA. There are much better brands like Katadyn, Sawyer which costs a bit more but is far better and also have 0.1 (better) micron filtering instead of 0.2 like LifeStraw Personal has and also Miniwell which is a reputable and tested chinese brand with comparable products and in some ways better than all the previous regarding functionality and accessories for roughly same price as a LifeStraw Personal. My first and last LifeStraw product especially considering the price and low quality materials. LifeStraw Personal costs roughly 25 USD in Sweden.
