So there's a few prefilters included, use them, or this wont work (that means you can use the straw about 5 times then you're out of filters by the way). In comparison, the life straw flaws about as fast as unfiltered water, which is very comfortable. the pump activated) or other brands any day if you're going to use this often though, including the lifestraw+steripen (UV kills most viruses) combo which is pretty decent, light, and much faster."
"This is a complete water system unlike the LifeStraw."
"I love this water filter."
"Great for the price."
"It’s perfect for emergencies!"
"Good reviews and a good price."
"In a cleaner area of the water I used without the pre-filter and had no trouble drawing the water. The straw attaches right to the bladder so you can drink your filtered water from the bladder through the straw. Now I need to purchase another one for my bug out bag."
"Item defective, will return."

See attached photo for a great way to carry your Survivor Filter and other essential gear using the Maxpedition Beefy."
"If I had to compare the thickness of the plastic on the sides of these canteens, I would say that it closely resembles the thickness (if not a little bit more) than the heavy duty screen protectors made to protect an Apple iPad or a similar type of device's screen."
"Very nice set off water canteens."
"The seams are very thick and sturdy - I used a hot nail to put a hole in the ample bottom seam for the carabiner so I could hang it upside down to gravity feed the large Sawyer filter. This bottle fits and seals nicely with the input (dirty water side) of the Sawyer filters and with the Sawyer Coupler (SP150) to attach to the output (clean water side) of the large Sawyer filter."
"The carabiners are convenient for getting around the airport and on the plane and the collapsible design of the bladder is space efficient and flexible on the move. I would buy this again without hesitation and even intend to send a couple bladders to my deployed husband."
"I use the mini Saywer squeeze filter and these bags fill up my Smart water bottles uo in one go."
"Got to use these the day after I got them in."
"Not the strongest thing around but very light weight and space saving."

I have the 64oz bottle from Swig Savvy and two of the 40oz 45° Latitude bottles. What sets the 45° Latitude bottles apart from the Swig Savvy is the presentation: Even 45° Latitude’s cheaper bottles come powder coated, they come with the multi-colored lid bands, and they come in a nice little box. I use the second 40oz bottle to leave in the car full of ice water so that I still have cold water for the drive home if I go through all my water during the day. I still have cold water in my 45° Latitude bottle inside that 150F car! So what’s the difference between my 45° Latitude bottle and my co-workers’ Hydro Flask bottles?"
"The 45 Degree Latitude 40 oz Water Bottle is even better than I expected."
"I looked for a while at getting the more expensive and well-known Hydroflask brand water bottle, but wasn't sure how much I would use it and if it was worth the price. I did end up buying a Hydroflask brand top and it fits very nicely on this water bottle."
"If you close it too tightly, it'll just pop open, and has popped open by the pressure of drinks inside."

When you're at high altitudes in the mountains this leads to longer "drink breaks" since you can get winded pretty easy while trying to suck up water through the LifeStraw."
"On top of one of the lower peaks, I drank from the most disgusting looking crevice filled with brown scum (see photo). Get one for your outdoor adventures, and one for your bug-out bag, which everyone should have in case of natural disaster (or apparently civil war, because the world seems to have gone mad)."
"As soon as I got this thing in the mail I went straight to the nastiest, most contaminated thing I could find."
"UPDATE - 4-25-2016. After more than 3-years of numerous weekend and 2-week excursions, my very first LifeStraw would not produce anymore clean filtered water. I really don't know how many liters of water that was used, but I can say this....with the coffee filter attached to this unit it out last my friends LifeStraw more than a year. Now, I use a Portable Siphon Hand Liquid Transfer Pump with this unit."
"So I intentionally got lost in the wilderness with a couple friends with the LifeStraw in my pocket and nothing else. We were going to die of dehydration out in the redwood wilderness, huddled around a useless LifeStraw. So I grab a cup of water and dunk the LifeStraw into it, letting it soak for a few minutes. Frantically I call my friends and tell them how it wasn't a piece of junk and how we were just stupid guys who didn't read the directions."

I have a 64 ounce flask for road trips, since I am frequently driving cross country. My tea tends to discolor the interior with time and then a tiny bit of vinegar and some water swirled around makes it look like new again in seconds."
"I can't handle room temp water and this has solved the problem."
"I was excited to receive and use this water bottle but I got a regular lid as suppose to what the description says online."
"UPDATE I took this to Charleston South Carolina, sitting on the beach all day and I still had ice by the time I went home!"
"I did message the seller asking what I could do about this and unfortunately they said they don't offer any sort of warranty on it but I could try Hydroflask if I wanted to. I also have spoke with many friends who have ordered theirs directly from Hydroflask or through a different retailer and they haven't had any issues with their lids. Maybe there was just a bad supply of lids but very frustrating that I had to purchase another."
"The sport cap is perfect for a water bottle this size because when it's fully filled it's actually pretty heavy."
"It's not leak proof and since I use mine for hiking I'm always on the move and it leaks a bit. I don't mind it much, ill just go back to my original lids I usually use."
"This is a really hard review for me to write, I LOVE hydroflask products however I had an awful experience with this particular water bottle."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Originally, I couldn't justify spending this absurd amount of $ on a water bottle. But then he spent all day out in 90+ degree weather and came back incredibly enthusiastic, going on & on & on about how amazing it is. So I got another one for my teenager, who needed a water bottle, but doesn't pay much attention to mundane things like this. Even the straw lid (bought separately) is constructed so that it is much easier to clean than, say, a Camelbak. Flip top lid is also easy to use & clean, but the company warns that it is not watertight, and it definitely isn't - bottle must be kept upright, or it spills. 8) No BPAs (in case, after we've all been using them for years, "they" decide that HDPE 2 or other plastics aren't safe, after all.). (Ok, vacuum bottle - you can put other stuff in, but still...). 2) The screw on cap works great, but is not so convenient. The 40 oz is also quite tall; it overbalances in pockets made for water bottles (e.g. on all our backpacks. If you're drinking in a library, people will notice ;-). I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants a great water bottle."
"I'm wonder if there is different models or something I've shared photos I took off from Amazon... my original hydro flask has the logo that isn't filled in where all three new ones I bought have the all white filled in logo... is there different versions or what!?!"
"Hydro Flask is my favorite of the many insulated bottles that I own--and I own 4 Hydro Flask bottles."
"The bottle is very well made and does not disappoint whatsoever it keeps water cold forever and I mean that."
"I had a couple of prerequisites to the bottle I would end up buying: doesn't condensate, large enough, transportable, stylish, and keeps my drink cold. Outside in classes through the week at the University, the bottle kept Pepsi with no ice, cold for a solid day (so I'm example, from 9am till midnight still cold). I am very impressed and will be recommending this bottle to friends and those interested in a very solid Trusty bottle."
"BEWARE I don't think these are all authentic."
