We haven't officially reviewed a Lifestraw just yet, but it has close to 65,000 glowing reviews averaging an almost perfect 4.8 stars from customers who have used it to turn water from lakes, springs and other questionable water sources into drinkable H2O. One buyer wrote they were able to turn "the most disgusting-looking crevice water with brown scum" into agua that tasted like fresh spring water.
Our Updates Editor Séamus Bellamy has also used this device and found it to work well—just note that it may require some patience, as it's not the most user-friendly and can require some prowess to work. If you've got the extra funds, he recommends the Katadyn Steripen UV water purifier, $72.98, for those seeking a smoother experience. If not, however, this much cheaper option will get the job done in a pinch.
So how does it work? According to the company, this plastic water filter removes 99.999999% of bacteria and parasites, as well as microplastics, from water using a micro-filtration membrane, rendering virtually any H2O source you come across drinkable. When used correctly, each filter can reportedly provide up to 4,000 liters of clean and safe drinking water. And, you can feel good about the purchase, since the company vows to provide safe drinking water for one child in need for an entire school year with every Lifestraw sale,
Weighing next to nothing at .01 pounds, the Lifestraw is also light enough to easily take along on your next great outdoor adventure.
If you've been mulling over picking one of these up for yourself or a friend or family member who loves the great wide open, now is the time, because Prime Day only lasts until June 22.
