Review Summary

The Sawyer mini water filter is a popular and effective filter for hikers. It uses a 0.1 micron hollow fiber membrane to filter out 99.99999% of harmful bacteria and other particles larger than 0.1 microns. It does not filter viruses, heavy metals, pesticides, or chemicals. The filter has a high flow rate and can filter up to 100,000 gallons of water before needing to be replaced. The kit comes with a 16-ounce pouch, a syringe for backflushing, and a straw attachment. The reviewer recommends purchasing additional pouches for ease of use. The filter can be used with hydration packs, gravity feed systems, or as a straw. The reviewer also mentions that the original 16-ounce pouch is not very efficient and recommends using larger bottles or pouches. Overall, the reviewer highly recommends the Sawyer mini for solo hikers or small groups.
