Stock Up On Lifestraw Personal Water Filters During This Sale

we have done a test Lots of backpacking water filters. I like some better than others; Like WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson, I found the MSR AutoFlow XL Gravity Filter ($130) to be a game-changer when backcountry camping with my family. This made filtering large amounts of water for cooking and refilling water bottles much easier than our usual routine of pumping the MSR Guardian ($253, $137 off) while sitting on a rock for an hour.

On a trip to the Philippines I also picked up the Grail GeoPress ($80, $20 off) because it’s fast and filters your water bottle to pour into a cup to do things like brush your teeth. However, for whatever reason, the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is having an absolute impact on WIRED readers. This weekend, it’s $10 off again.

The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is $10 today

It’s not the best water filter, and it’s not the best LifeStraw either. In my opinion, that would be the lightweight, convenient squeeze bag, LifeStraw Peak Series ($32), that you can use to squeeze out water so you don’t actually put your face in a puddle. I also like the LifeStraw Go Series ($34, $16 off). I use Grail now, but for years I’ve carried the LifeStraw Go bottle with me when my family travels to places like the American South, where my kids refuse to drink tap water.

However, I got it. The first LifeStraw is cheap, lightweight, and perfect for keeping in an emergency kit. Thanks to you guys, I now have one, and I always keep it in my backpack when I’m hiking with my kids, even when I carry water bottles. Being thirsty is useless! Watch our video below on how to use it. And yes, my pants were cold and wet the entire day.
