Product Highlights

With its compact size, light weight, and simple-to-use design, the Katadyn Hiker microfilter is an ideal choice for back country hiking, camping and backpacking. Weighing only 11 oz. and measuring a mere 6.5" x 3", the Hiker takes up very little room in your pack and does its job quickly and efficiently.

The Hiker's 0.3 micron pleated AntiClog glass fiber filter removes particulates, bacteria and cysts, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium. The Hiker can produce up to 200 gallons of drinkable water, depending on the quality of the water source, before a replacement filter is required. An activated carbon core reduces unpleasant tastes and odors, ensuring fresh-tasting water.

A simple-to-use ergonomic pump and a 36" input hose allow the Hiker to easily filter up to 1 quart of water per minute at a rate of 48 strokes per quart.

The Hiker includes an input hose with modular pre-filter and an output hose with an easy-fill bottle adapter to efficiently pump water into your water bottle. A deluxe carry bag has sewn-in field instructions and field tips. The Hiker also comes with a tube of silicon lubricant to keep parts moving smoothly and efficiently.

Likes: This pack has adjustable suspension. It is lightweight and loads a ton of gear. It can also compress for shorter trips. The air contact system really works, pumping cool air across your back with every step. Great pack!

Dislikes: There was one small seam thread came loose. Easy enough to do a quick couple of stitches and set it right.

Likes: I bought this for my son and he seems pretty happy about having his own filter now that he can use when we go camping with the scouts. He enjoys pumping water and this is the second filter I've purchased from Katadyn so the quality of the product is there or I wouldn't have bought one again.

Dislikes: It's not quite as nice as the Hiker Pro but that's why there's a difference in price and features, I guess.

Review Date: 4/20/2009

Likes: It's lightweight, fairly small filter. It takes up very little room in my pack. I haven't experienced any problem with silt or filter clogging causing decreased flow. There is a reason it's one of the more popular filters on the market.

Dislikes: The plastic bag that came with it for the inlet hose tore the first day I used it, but I just got a ziplock bag.

Review Date: 4/7/2009

Likes: The assembly was very quick and easy. It pumped easily and the amount of water drawn with each pump had more volume than expected. The end result was crystal clear water that had great taste!

Dislikes: At the moment I can't think of anything that I didn't like about this product.
