Sawyer Products Mini Water Filtration System

The Sawyer Mini water filter weighs just 2 oz and removes 99.99999% of bacteria and 99.9999% of protozoa at 0.1-micron absolute filtration — the most compact and lightweight inline filter on the market for hikers, travelers, and emergency preparedness kits where pack space and weight are primary constraints.

Sawyer Mini Water Filter: 2-oz 0.1-Micron Filter for Hiking and Travel

The Mini's size makes it the filter that removes every barrier to carrying water purification capability — at 2 oz, there's no weight or pack space argument for leaving it behind on a day hike, travel trip, or hunting pack. It screws onto standard disposable water bottle threads for direct drinking from filled bottles, attaches inline to hydration reservoir tubes for hands-free filtered hydration, or connects to the included drinking straw pouch for direct source drinking. The 100,000-gallon lifetime rating and backflush cleaning make it a permanent carry item across years of field use rather than a consumable replacement cycle.
