Excellent creation!
What an excellent product, a must-have in your backpack. I’ve used it a couple times when on a long hike, I just have it thrown in the bottom of my backpack and it’s withstood the abuse (durable), it filters super quickly and is a nice size! True necessity!

Best lightweight water filter for backpacking.
As a field biologist and avid outdoorsman I have used my fair share of water filters. The Katadyn BeFree has been my favorite and is my go to for most adventures. The squeeze bag is so easy and fast to use and is very durable. The filters are a breeze to change, reasonably priced, and last a decent while. I do like the 1 L over the 0.6 L bag as it’s really not much heavier and you get more filtering capacity with each use.

Great Filter
I estimate I’ve filtered 250+ liters of water so far with this filter and not had a single issue. Going from a pump filter to this is so nice. It’s less weight and less pieces you have to pack.What I really like is any product from HydraPak with a 42mm mouth will work with this filter. That includes things like the 750ml HydraPak Stash, Hydrapak Stash – Collapsible BPA & PVC Free Water Bottle (750ml/25oz) – Malibu Blue. Also the 2L, 3L, and 4L Seeker water storage bags, Hydrapak Seeker – Collapsible BPA & PVC Free Water Storage Bag (3L/100oz) – Malibu Blue.With a few additional parts, like the adapters from Sawyer, Sawyer Products Fast Fill Adapters for Hydration Packs, you can have a nice gravity setup for camp.All in all great filter. Very simple, versatile, and easy to use.

Brilliant.
Katadyn BeFree 0.6L Water Filter, Fast Flow, 0.1 Micron EZ Clean Membrane… (8019639):Literally a life saver. Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever run out of water on the trail for whatever reason, you know it can turn to a very difficult if not deadly situation very quickly. With this magnificent bottle, you can get your water on the go and feel good about it.I first used it in Brazil. Very hot day and there in town was a pipe with water coming out of it. I had no idea where it came from or anything else about it. I filled up my Katadyn bottle and drank it. It was very refreshing and with no consequences. That was years ago and just last week I went through 5 refills hiking through Shenandoah National Park.Just be careful to keep the output clean!

Could use a few improvements but has kept me alive
5 stars for function. It does what it says. And does it well. I do wish it had some activated charcoal because it’s compact size and roll up bottle makes for an excellent travel filter. If it was perfect it would include standard a larger bottle. It would also include a better less finicky seal. Lastly the filter and threads would be the size of a standard water bottle. Still it’s easy to clean and cleans water (not of taste) well.

One Bad apple doesn’t spoil the tree.
Ditch your Sawyer and Be Free!. The large opening makes filling a breeze and MUCH better than filling a sawyer squeeze pouch or a smart water bottle. I only needed a scoop on the very shallowest of water sources. I tested this over a couple week section hike on the AT. I had a Sawyer squeeze set up for gravity feed with a CNOC bladder (My old go-to) and this Katadyn BeFree that I was deciding on. Since I was starting at Amicalola, I knew I would be at Mountain Crossing in a few days, so I left the Sawyer at home and just brought the BeFree. I figured I could replace it at Neil’s Gap if it sucked. It does not suck. I could gather from 99% of water sources without scooping, and filter directly into my smart water bottles from the BeFree. The flow rate is incredible. I would be done filtering 2 liters and cameling up on the 3rd before folks with Sawyers were done filtering their first liter.The flow rate is high enough to drink directly from the BeFree if that’s your style. I have tried this previously with the Sawyer filters and found it to be a less than satisfactory process. The mini has too little flow and, even when used in-line with a bladder, the flow rate is terrible and will leave you sy=ucking hard on your bite valve to just get something to drink. The Squeeze is also difficult to drink directly from for a couple reasons: You have to squeeze the bottle hard to get water into your mouth and the bottle crushes, leaving low pressure in the bottle forcing you to break the seal to allow the pressure to rebalance.

It saved me.
I drank the filtered water and use the filtered water to brush my teeth. It smells a little bit but it gets better later on.I am treveling around Peru. I had severe watery diarrhea even though I ate cooked food and drank only bottled water. I heard some people fill used water bottles with tap water and sell it. Once, the bottle was a little bit suspicious in a restaurant but I drank it. The next day, severe watery diarrhea started. This filter saved me.It can be easily squeezed and the water flow is good. Easy to use.I don’t keep water in there as other reviewer recommended.

SEE YA LATER SAWYER
This is an absolute game changer for backpacking. The flow rates out of this are incredible compared to my old Sawyer Mini. This filter does not adapt to as many water pouches and bottles as the Sawyer does, but it’s bag folds up so much smaller and it’s flow rate is so much faster that I have never found myself upset that I had to squirt the water into another bottle or pouch rather than being able to tether a clean container to the end like the Sawyer. The flow rate is such that it is nearly free flowing when drinking directly out of the filter cap.I used to dread the frigid hands, long stops, taking off my pack to pull out all of the components and endless squeezing of my old system to the point where I would end up dehydrated. This filter has changed the game. I typically filter a couple of liters in the morning that I carry as a backup in my pack and then keep the filter at hand and drop it in any water source I pass since it’s so easy to drink right out of the filter and that way I’m not trying to filter a full days worth of water in the morning and carrying it throughout the day.
