Katadyn Hiker Pro water filter for backpacking and camping survival

When embarking on a long adventure, this compact filter can provide one liter of fresh and enjoyable water from a lake, river, or creek in just one minute. It effectively removes bacteria, giardia, and cryptosporidium, ensuring the water is safe to drink. Additionally, the filter's activated carbon granulate helps reduce unpleasant tastes.

With its quick-connect fittings, you can conveniently filter clean water directly into a bottle or pack reservoir. The filter is compatible with the most popular water bottles and hydration systems. Moreover, the filter protector is easy to clean in the field, ensuring quick access to safe drinking water even in turbid waters.

The new transparent design allows users to observe the flow of water and the filtering process. The filter has a capacity of up to 1,150 liters (300 gallons), depending on the water quality. Notably, the Katadyn Hiker Pro microfilter is the best-selling filter in the US Outdoor Market, serving the needs of camping, backpacking, and survival enthusiasts.

This versatile water filter utilizes an AntiClogTM, 0.2-micron glass fiber filter that reliably removes 99.9999% of bacteria, as well as 99.9% of protozoa, cysts, algae, spores, and sediments, even in muddy water. The inclusion of an active carbon core also helps reduce unpleasant tastes and odors.

Unlike other water filter systems, the Hiker Pro can be easily cleaned in the field, eliminating the need to carry additional water during camping, backpacking, hiking, or survival situations. By simply removing the filter from the body and swishing it in clear water, you can prevent clogging and maintain a consistent water output.

Recommended by US retailers for its user-friendly design, the Hiker Pro features a comfortable and ergonomic handle that allows you to filter more water with less effort. The filter also includes quick-connect hoses and a bottle adapter, making it compatible with most water bottles and hydration bladders for easy connection.

Thanks to its large filter surface of 271 cm2 (107 square inches), the Hiker Pro offers a fast flow rate, capable of filtering one liter of water per minute with approximately 48 pumps. It has an average lifespan of filtering 300 gallons before needing a replacement. This filter is ideal for use by 1-2 people.

Weighing just 11 ounces, the Hiker Pro is lightweight and compact, making it highly portable for ultralight backpacking, hiking, or camping adventures. Its manual pumping method also makes it a perfect addition to emergency or survival kits. A storage bag is included for convenient storage.
