    John Bruno, Ultra trail-runner, ski mountaineer

    Self explanatory: Big thing here is that it locks so I can filter water and put it in a pack or a belt and not soak my kit.

    Benji Wiederkehr, Mountain Ultra Runner

    I try to treat my water from natural sources in almost all areas that I’m exploring. These filters are simple and quick to use with minimal added weight to a regular soft flask.

    This thing is unreal. Saves you so much weight. Grab water from anywhere.

    Makena Morley, Professional Runner (Roads, Trails...)

    Absolutely love this filter - it fits on most bottles and is so nice to bring along so I can refill all my bottles on a longer training day when I don't stash aid at my car or house! And you can drink out of it and not worry about getting Giardia!

    Matthew Barrera, Trail running guide

    Compatible with most flasks. Great tool for the trail runners tool kit when you want to go farther.

    Jamie Hunyor, Ultrarunner & field botanist

    I have two of these—one for long days on the trails in my belt or pack and another in my field bag for going off-trail in my day job as a botanist in the Sierra Nevada. On the trails it saves weight so I can carry less & still stay hydrated. At work, it gives me peace of mind knowing that if something happens & I run out of the water I’m carrying in my pack, I’ll be able to fill from the streams in my survey area.

    Mary Tyler, Baby Ultrarunner

    These let me use my front pack bottles without craning my neck - They stow nicely out of the way in the Tantrums vest. It's not much, but after 4 hours of bending your neck to drink water, it's the little things.

    Allison Powell, Ultrarunning Coach, Ultrarunning Communnity Leader

    This cap was easy to add on to HydraPak bottles and allowed me to simply fill water and go!

    Joe Corcione, Ultrarunning Athlete + Coach

    With a lot of water on the course, I'll be using this filter cap to fill up some on the go!
