I looked into it, read blog posts about using it inline, and generally hemmed and hawed. The hot new thing this year is the Sawyer MINI, essentially a smaller, lighter, and weaker version of the old Sawyer Squeeze.
Platypus hydration system zip#
When I upgraded my old CamelBak to a new Platypus Big Zip LP reservoir this year, I stopped for a moment to contemplate my hydration system. It languished there because I read reviews of bags bursting and the more I thought about it, the more it seemed to share many annoyances of previous generations of filters: fussiness, tedium, clean/dirty things to keep separate, etc. I impulse-bought a Sawyer Squeeze and promptly left it in my gear storage area, unopened. They got rid of more nasties than my iodine and didn’t alter the taste of the water to boot. They were exceptionally lightweight and filtered quickly. But last year I became intrigued by the filters that Sawyer was putting out. I’ve never been a fan of water filters, what with the annoying pumping and the heavy weight for pump style or the long wait times for gravity filters and just the fussiness and all. After years of using Potable Aqua iodine tablets (see how my Platypus is stained yellow?) and the citric acid neutralizers, I’ve recently made the switch to filtration using a Sawyer 3-way filter inline on my Platypus hydration system.
