Platypus QuickDraw + Reservoir Micro Water Filter

one of the best flow rates you can find. also super easy to backflush.

Great filler, not heavy at all. Water tastes great and flow is good. I’m currently using it on the Colorado trail.

lightweight and easily packable, great water filter for on the go.

Works great, I really like that i have 2 methods of cleaning in the field and I’m excited to take it winter camping now that I can check whether or not it’s damaged. Construction feels robust when it’s convenient that I can use third-party bladder systems and water bottles as reservoirs since I like filtering a lot of water at a time..

Have not used yet but looks like a perfect fit for hiking, biking, etc.

Went on a camping trip with ten guys and they had 10 different contraptions for filtering water, 7 out of the ten ended up using mi e because of the convenience

Best filter in its class. I have used every type of UL microfiber filter over the past 7 years and this is hands down the best. I was amazed by it when my wife was using it on our JMT thru-hike last summer. I had started with a brand new filter from another brand. After 2 weeks mine was slowing down and needing cleaning regularly. Her QuickDraw was ever so slightly slower and after a back flush was dood as new. We eventually started just using the QuickDraw. The design is outstanding and we both love the cap on the bottom. Screwing on the bottom cap and closing the top leaves it water tight and it can just be tossed into the bottom of our quilt without worry about freezing or need to put it inside anything. The flow is very fast and stays fast for a long time. Bags are what you’d expect from platypus, virtually indestructible. Unlike the bags from that other company that get holes in them if you so much as look at them wrong. The instructions didn’t mention it but a sports cap on a clean bottle or platypus bag buts up perfectly with the output of the filter for easy back flushing. If you’re the type that just wants to forget the bag and use bottles the threads on the inside of the dirty side accommodate standard water bottles. This little guy has become our new go to filter and both the one from our JMT hike and mine are working as good as new.

Highly satisfied with this filter, the high capacity of the water bag, and the little handle to keep my hands from getting wet.
