Описание: My thoughts & review of the Katadyn BeFree Collapsible Water Filter Bottle – 0.6 Liter for Backpacking & Camping. http://www.sintax77.com

The Katadyn BeFree is a backpacking water filter with a very small footprint and low overall weight. In this video I’ll cover all of the bases from the initial unboxing, to specific features, individual item weights, test usage out in the field, pros and cons based on individual backpacking styles, as well as some thoughts of future improvements for the system.

It looks promising, but I have not been able to personally test it’s compatibility. It’s called the Hydrapak Seeker 2L Water Storage Bag' Amazon link for current price & specs: http://amzn.to/2nwQlAJ
