Overview
Not a squeeze bottle or gravity bag, the Hiker Pro is a pump unit with an intake hose that goes in the water and an output hose that fills a bottle. A transparent body and modular pre-filter let the user see and clean it.
The reason to look at it is a complete kit with hoses and carry bag and a stated flow rate for quick refills. The limitation is that the listing names the filter element but not which microorganisms it removes.
Who it's for
Hikers and campers drawing from streams and lakes can pump water into bottles or a hydration system. Travelers needing documented removal of specific contaminants should confirm that with the maker.
Pros and cons
- Includes hoses and carry bag
- Hydration system connector
- Cleanable filter protector
- Contaminant removal not listed
- Manual pumping effort
- Weight is high versus bottle filters
- Item type field is wrong
Performance notes
Pumping forces water through a pleated glass fiber element that catches particles, so the flow rate depends on how steadily the user pumps. Silt clogs the element sooner, which the pre-filter on the intake hose is meant to reduce.
