I’ve now gotten to use my LifeStraw twice. I was in India at the end of 2018 and while spending the weekend exploring I found myself out on the streets and could not find a store that sold bottled water that looked like it wasn’t refilled. It is not something you need to worry about at the bigger stores, but I’ve learned my lesson at street vendors and carts – which is where this LifeStraw is a lifesaver. Getting a GI bug when traveling is no fun.
If you hike, camp, or travel a lot, you can’t go wrong by keeping a LifeStraw with your gear. We take clean water for granted and most of us would get horribly sick if we drank untreated water – and if you’ve ever had diarrhea while hiking – when you have no choice but to keep moving, squatting, moving, you know how much that sucks.
- Award-winning LifeStraw has been used by millions around the globe since 2005
- Removes minimum 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria (>LOG 6 reduction) and surpasses EPA standards for water filters
- Removes minimum 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites (>LOG 3 reduction) and filters to an amazing 0.2 microns
- Filters up to 1000 liters of contaminated water WITHOUT iodine, chlorine, or other chemicals
- Comes in a sealed bag, perfect for storing for emergencies
