Think of the possibilities.

Do you ever wish that you could drink from crystal clear creeks, alpine lakes, or mountain streams? Well, you can when you bring the Katadyn BeFree Water Filtration System on your next adventure. This compact water bottle with integrated filter makes a great choice for outdoor pursuits and travels to faraway places where tap water is suspect.


Instead of lugging around a bulky pack loaded with a full day's worth of water, just bring this lightweight and compact bottle along with you. Simply fill up the flask and let the EZ-Clean Membrane do all the work. It's effective against microorganisms and even suitable for cloudy water. And when it's not filled, the collapsible bottle packs up small so you can stash it in tight spaces.

It works the way you’d expect

What else is there to say, it flows pretty well, it’s super light weight, and like for this price your not going to find something better

I've had a few of these in both sizes. My only complaint is the lid is easy to break off. That said it looks like they fixed it on the newer ones so I will be buying the updated version next.

Light and easy to use

Does what it should! Not the fanciest, but it just works. Having gear you can rely on is key, especially when it comes to your drinking water.

Go to water filter!

I’ve had my BeFree 0.6 for years, and it’s been my primary filter most of the time. The flow is still strong as long as I keep the filter hydrated and rinse out any gunk from questionable sources. It’s lightweight, packs down small, and the wide mouth makes it quick to fill. I’ve filtered a lot of water with it and never gotten sick, which gives me confidence in it on every trip.

great filter

filters well. I like the soft flask - other filters have a more rigid bag. I like this one.

This is my go to water filter when I know I’ll be mountain biking or trail running and might run out of water. It’s small enough to bring along and not notice the weight. When I know I’ll be crossing a lot of streams, it’s nice to cut down on water weight and only carry this.

Awesome and convenient

This has been one of the best filters I’ve used. It is so small and packable and the flow rate is great. One addition that would be nice is if the lid was attached to the bladder so I didn’t have to hold the lid or set it down when I’m filling the bladder. But I love how small it’s packed when it has no water in it and it so moldable when filled that it fits in virtually any pocket. Fantastic product for the price point and will certainly be a staple in the bag.

Fantastic!!

This Katadyn BeFree and its 1 liter bigger sibling has become my go to filter system. It’s compact yet durable, and has excellent flow rate. It’s easy to use and clean.

Great Flow

Noticeable difference between the ease of use of the flow rate of the BeFree and my old Sawyer Mini. The BeFree fits on hydrapak bottles. I've already put a small pinhole in my flask after low use, so be careful with where you store these and how you pack them. I would prefer my sawyer for backpacking due to its ability to thread on bottles, and will be using my BeFrees for trail running.
