Sawyer MINI Water Filter
The Sawyer Mini Water Filter is one of the most trusted water filtration systems for hikers and backpackers. Weighing just 2 ounces, it easily fits in your hand, pocket, or pack and filters up to 100,000 gallons of water. The 0.1-micron absolute filter removes 99.99999% of bacteria (such as Salmonella and E. coli), 99.9999% of protozoa (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), and 100% of microplastics, ensuring clean, safe water wherever your trip takes you.
You can drink directly from a stream with the included straw, attach it to a standard water bottle, or use it with hydration packs and the included 16 oz pouch. It’s versatile and easy to clean, thanks to the included syringe.
My Sawyer Mini Water Filter Review
I’ve owned my Sawyer Mini Water Filter for over five years, and it’s still going strong. Sometimes it runs a bit slow, but I’ve always been able to fix it easily. I use mine with a Smartwater bottle setup, one “clean” and one “dirty”, and it works perfectly for that. I also use a CNOC bottle at camp or for larger water carries.
I originally picked the Mini because it was 4 ounces lighter than the Squeeze, and I’ve never regretted it. It’s dependable, compact, and gives me peace of mind no matter where I’m hiking or backpacking.
