Description

The lightweight, reliable and easy-to-use design makes the Katadyn Hiker microfilter a great choice for backpacking and trekking.

Features

  • Activated-carbon core adsorbs chemicals and pesticides to improve taste of water
  • Aproximately 48 strokes per min. provide 1 liter of clean drinking water
  • Pre-filter at hose inlet filters to 150 microns, removing larger contaminants before they reach the main filter to increase its life span
