There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
This filter addresses all the problems. The soft bladder is so easy to fill, the flow is AMAZING (one liter every 30 seconds?), and it doesn't require much squeezing. This is a total game changer. I was able to cut my carried water in half on my most recent day hike and just stopped for a quick filter and chug, drinking almost a liter in a short stop. I've heard the bag can be fragile but I had no issue with it (so far) and I plan on picking up a larger, compatible hydrapak bladder so I can filter more water on longer trips.
It's also incredibly light and compares in weight to the Sawyer.
Awesome product.
The cap however broke the first day. It has a strip you have to remove before you use it like a disposable water bottle. (It was hard for me to open.) My grandson dropped it (he's one so it didn't fall far) and the cap broke. Fortunately, my daughter found a brand of disposable water bottles that had a cap that fit that was sturdier so we were still able to use the bottle.

Fortunately, my daughter found a brand of disposable water bottles that had a cap that fit that was sturdier so we were still able to use the bottle.
What I really like is any product from HydraPak with a 42mm mouth will work with this filter. That includes things like the 750ml HydraPak Stash, Hydrapak Stash - Collapsible BPA & PVC Free Water Bottle (750ml/25oz) - Malibu Blue . Also the 2L, 3L, and 4L Seeker water storage bags, Hydrapak Seeker - Collapsible BPA & PVC Free Water Storage Bag (3L/100oz) - Malibu Blue .
With a few additional parts, like the adapters from Sawyer, Sawyer Products Fast Fill Adapters for Hydration Packs , you can have a nice gravity setup for camp.
All in all great filter. Very simple, versatile, and easy to use.
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.
