Katadyn Hiker Microfilter

Turn swamps info freshwater springs with this water filter. It removes bacteria by passing it through an active carbon core, providing 1 liter of water/minute with minimal effort. Not only is it lightweight (11 oz), making it ideal for hikers and backpackers, but it has a low maintainence cartridge, which does not need to be cleaned. This is one of the best water filters I have seen. This is the lowest price anywhere for the Katadyne Hiker.
