This "Best Of" choice may not be appropriate for long-term adventures, but it's ideal for day trips, afternoon hikes or short canoe trips. The beauty of Katadyn Exstream XR is that it's a squeeze bottle that you simply dip into a stream, lake or river and then squeeze the filtered water down your parched throat. This makes it particularly ideal for trail runners or others looking for simplicity and less rather than more equipment. The Hiker is the only EPA registered bottle of its kind that removes all the major types of organisms you'd likely encounter, including viruses. The large bottle will help ensure that you don't have to dip too frequently. And a carry loop allows you to attach it easily to your backpack or kayak.

From independent research, we selected the Katadyn Exstream XR as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other Portable Water Filters selections visit our Portable Water Filters Overview.
