Trusted by Katadyn since 1928. Review: SEE YA LATER SAWYER - This is an absolute game changer for backpacking. The flow rates out of this are incredible compared to my old Sawyer Mini. This filter does not adapt to as many water pouches and bottles as the Sawyer does, but it's bag folds up so much smaller and it's flow rate is so much faster that I have never found myself upset that I had to squirt the water into another bottle or pouch rather than being able to tether a clean container to the end like the Sawyer. The flow rate is such that it is nearly free flowing when drinking directly out of the filter cap. I used to dread the frigid hands, long stops, taking off my pack to pull out all of the components and endless squeezing of my old system to the point where I would end up dehydrated. This filter has changed the game. I typically filter a couple of liters in the morning that I carry as a backup in my pack and then keep the filter at hand and drop it in any water source I pass since it's so easy to drink right out of the filter and that way I'm not trying to filter a full days worth of water in the morning and carrying it throughout the day. Review: Best lightweight water filter for backpacking. - As a field biologist and avid outdoorsman I have used my fair share of water filters. The Katadyn BeFree has been my favorite and is my go to for most adventures. The squeeze bag is so easy and fast to use and is very durable. The filters are a breeze to change, reasonably priced, and last a decent while. I do like the 1 L over the 0.6 L bag as it's really not much heavier and you get more filtering capacity with each use. ## Features - CLEAN WATER WHEREVER YOU GO: A collapsible filtered water bottle with 0.1 micron hollow fiber membrane that filters out sediment and fine particles.

I got the larger 2L. **Q: How is swishing water inside cleaning the filter? Wouldn't that just redistribute bad stuff around instead of it actually leaving the filter?** A: The agitation loosens the debris from the filter. It’s the same action as backflowing a Sawyer. The Katadyn filter is exposed and moves more freely allowing debris to fall out . But for a long trip this should only be a back up it is fragile. **Q: going overseas and will not be able to drink tap water. Can I fill this from tap and assume I can then drink the water?** A: I would say yes. However, I like to treat a liter of tap water with a chorine tablet each evening so that I have a full liter of purified water every day. I think the Katadyn tube holds less than a half liter. **Q: Can you use purifying tablets/drops in the bottle along with the filter in place?** A: You probably can, but why? The point of this filter/bottle is that it purifies water to 0.1 microns. This takes care of all cysts, Protozoa, bacteria etc. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SEE YA LATER SAWYER *by C***Y on December 23, 2022* This is an absolute game changer for backpacking.

The large opening makes filling a breeze and MUCH better than filling a sawyer squeeze pouch or a smart water bottle. I only needed a scoop on the very shallowest of water sources. I tested this over a couple week section hike on the AT. I had a Sawyer squeeze set up for gravity feed with a CNOC bladder (My old go-to) and this Katadyn BeFree that I was deciding on. Since I was starting at Amicalola, I knew I would be at Mountain Crossing in a few days, so I left the Sawyer at home and just brought the BeFree. I figured I could replace it at Neil's Gap if it sucked. It does not suck. I could gather from 99% of water sources without scooping, and filter directly into my smart water bottles from the BeFree. The flow rate is incredible. I would be done filtering 2 liters and cameling up on the 3rd before folks with Sawyers were done filtering their first liter. The flow rate is high enough to drink directly from the BeFree if that's your style. I have tried this previously with the Sawyer filters and found it to be a less than satisfactory process. The mini has too little flow and, even when used in-line with a bladder, the flow rate is terrible and will leave you sy=ucking hard on your bite valve to just get something to drink. The Squeeze is also difficult to drink directly from for a couple reasons: You have to squeeze the bottle hard to get water into your mouth and the bottle crushes, leaving low pressure in the bottle forcing you to break the seal to allow the pressure to rebalance. ## Frequently Bought Together - BeFree 0.6L Water Filter, Fast Flow, 0.1 Micron EZ Clean Membrane for Endurance Sports, Camping and Backpacking (8019639) - Katadyn BeFree Replacement Cartridge - Katadyn BeFree 1.0L Ultralight Collapsible Water Filter Bottle for Hiking, Camping, Backpacking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/36572153-katadyn-befree-collapsible-water-filter-bottle-0-6l-hiking-trail](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/36572153-katadyn-befree-collapsible-water-filter-bottle-0-6l-hiking-trail) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
