Katadyn Hiker 11oz Pump Water Filter

The Katadyn Hiker is a lightweight, pump-action water filter that has become a best-selling and reliable choice for backpackers, hikers, and campers worldwide. Weighing just 11 ounces (310 grams), this portable system is designed to provide safe, clean, and great-tasting drinking water from natural sources like streams and lakes.

The filter's core technology features a pleated glass-fiber element with a 0.2-micron pore size, which physically removes harmful bacteria (e.g., Salmonella) and protozoa (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium). An integrated activated-carbon core works to adsorb unpleasant tastes, odors, and chemicals like chlorine, improving the overall quality of your water. The efficient pump design delivers approximately one liter of filtered water per minute with about 48 strokes.

With a cartridge life of up to 200–300 gallons (750 liters), depending on water quality, the Hiker is built for longevity. Its included pre-filter removes large sediment to extend the main filter's life, and the universal bottle adapter allows you to fill a wide range of water containers directly. The system comes complete with a carry bag, hoses, and a float for easy filling from various water sources, providing a dependable, no-fuss solution for backcountry hydration
