Both companies make great products. Most US hikers aren't living in their own sewage and would require "absolute" to stay alive. Well, maybe my cousin does but that's another story. I have used the BeFree for years and will stick with it. I have two Sawyer products I bought mainly to support the work they do but my go to is Katydyn.

Katadyne has never let me down and I plan on continuing use.

Yeh im going to buy one. They use Hydrapak pottles with 42mm threads which are so good. Not buying Sawyer with their weird external filters

[@ScottKent]

Went through 3 Katadyne BFree filters on the Florida Trail...not worth the cost to me. I'll stick with Sawyer. Also, I prefer a filter that the water is forced to pass completely through instead of one that sits in the water bag and continuously uses less and less of the filter as the water level gets lower.

[@petercruz1993]

@@ScottKent interesting point. I honestly don’t think you can go that wrong with either. The form factor is what seals it for me. Far easier to break it off or lose it

after my fourth katadyn i swapped to Sawyer and never looked back, perfectly match with cnoc vecto

[@seanrich7969]

The little blue coupler lets you connect the cnoc bag to the sawyer to the clean bottle all in one and you can hang the 3 from the cnoc and gravity filter while you make camp. You just need to leave the bottom clean bottle a little unscrewed so the air can escape while it fills. Its also just easier to filter regularly when theyre all connected too

[@joshbennett6197]

"My Sawyer Squeeze is flowing fine, I can leave the flushing syringe at home". In my experience you make that mistake once. That coupler is a great idea.

[@cookietheswede]

Nice commercial for Sawyer you got there. 😂 It is a good move by them cause most people just throw that bag away that they used to come with or cut it up for a scoop. I’ll be sticking with my befree because there’s nothing wrong with it.

[@hikesteepfishhigh]

well I guess I'm not most people. my bags lasted six years. last season one got eaten by critters and the cap finally broke on the other one. the filter still works fine but the flow rate is not as good as it was. Im going to buy a new one now that it comes with the cnoc bag. I use the Sawyer squeeze because it works well for me but I support Sawyer for their business model. the donate to those in desperate need for clean water due to poverty, war and natural disaster like almost no other company in the world.

Yeah, nothing has been technically improved.

[@snoop2477]

Hey Dan. Thanks for the video. Agree Sawyer is doing some amazing things - your tour showed this. However, having used all the Sawyer filters, the Katadyn and now the Hydrapak filter - to say Sawyer is the best is a bit of a stretch. The very light, flexible bottle with the Katadyn is produced by Hydrapak. Yes it is susceptible to pin prick punctures. The Katadyn cap is flimsy and breaks easily. Hydrapak released a filter of their own last year with a more robust design, better flow rate and lockable cap. Paired with the likes of a Hydrapak Flux flexible bottle with the wide cap making refilling easy, the tpu fabric is super durable and the filter can be used with it interchangeable between different bag sizes. Using all three brands I've never had issues with the Hydrapak or ever needed to back flush it in the mountains. Sawyer still has some product development catch up work to do, which I hope they do!

[@davidcooper8390]

I was gifted a Sawyer squeeze for Christmas and will try using it instead of my Platypus quickdraw this year.

[@paulb1915]

There are no reports of anyone getting sick using a Katadyn water filter. While your board position with the Bucket Ministry, which uses Sawyer products, demonstrates a solid commitment to God and clean water initiatives, saying it's over for Katadyn water filters is pure clickbait. I appreciate your faith and passion, but don't sell your integrity for clicks.

[@BezinatoR]

The new bottle is so cool.

[@nicholasvazquez5846]

For me the true optimization of the katadyn system is that the filter is inside the bottle. This makes the whole package smaller and easier to use. Most of my friends who have seen me use my katadyn at a stream have switched over. Mainly because of the speed. I can just get water and keep walking filtering as I drink. Even though katadyn is like .2 microns, I mainly drink alpine water in the high sierras so I'm not really that worried.

[@BP-nf6ti]

Looking the first few minutes i thought that Sawyer was releasing a new filter who could fit inside a bag/bottle the same way the befree does. Then i watched the rest and i'm slightly disapointed : Just some collapsable bottle with standard opening : nothing new !

I've been living. I didn't know. Who breaks every darn hook in my fly box before I go at the trailhead. That would be the culprit of the pin hole - I'm sure. Why walk around with warm water to drink? Don't you just rehydrate at the water whole (cold steam along the trail) and don't you want to drink good and plenty out of a wide mouth bottle. A Katadyn HikePro is the one heavy item with which I will not falter - that means it is what I need. 😀

[@camping_guru_uk]

These "filters" and the new bags look great but I think you should take a look at the UK based Pure Clear 500ml and 1000ml soft bottle system. They are cheaper here in the UK than the BeFree and the Sawyer but they use the same technology as the Grayl so even viruses are removed. The down side is you only get around 200l out of a filter and they are a bit slower than say the BeFree and Sawyer. Worth a look though.

[@modestadventurers]

That could be a game changer.

@modestadventurers I have one, works fine. Filters chemicals, heavy metals, viruses. 200l is plenty for me each year but at £14.99 for a replacement filter I can live with that.

As a backpacker for more than 50-years, I can also say I have suffered from giardia-type infections twice with one of those times being ABOVE tree-line. To me, the “good works” of the corporation along with its guaranteed ability to work as claimed and its comparable pricing to other filters, means my choice has been made….I do not EVER want to suffer from drinking poor quality water again, and the Sawyer products just simply work well….guaranteed! 😊

When Katadyn states that their filters have a pore size of 0.1 micron, I am pretty sure that they don‘t mean to say that a couple of pores are that size while others might be larger. At least I believe that their statement is meant to read: No pores are larger than that. Everything else wouldn‘t make any sense at all since that would mean that all of their filters are not safe. Also, Kurt‘s statement that no other company had a technologist in the water business like Sawyer does is pretty bold given the fact that Katadyn is a company with a whole array of products ranging from filters and chemical disinfection to desalination technology. I am pretty sure they have a couple of people in their company who understand at least as much as the Sawyer guy when it comes to water treatment.

And just because the put "absolute" doesnt change that lifestraw and katadyn goes thru the exact same tests as Sawyer. You dont bring in people from katadyn to try and give their perspective, or lifestraw or others - seems more like a commercial than an open sided run thru - and i dont see why we need to bring down other companies. Sawyer makes great stuff and do good, so does katadyn and lifestraw - and Cnoc makes a 42mm that works with the befree..... ;)
