When drinking directly from the filter, the difference from a bottle with a drinking spout is hardly noticeable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pack size<\/strong><br \/>\nThe filter fits into almost any pants or jacket pocket.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Usage<\/strong><br \/>\nThe filter is very easy to use and clean. For storage, the filter should be disassembled and stored with the cap open.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final word<\/strong><br \/>\nI really enjoy using the filter and highly recommend it. To increase reliability, it\u2019s a good idea to carry a second compatible collapsible bottle. The filter is compatible with the reliable HydraPak collapsible bottles.<br \/>\nI particularly like the high flow rate of the filter.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8424\" src=\"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPR1171_PS_kl.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1343\" height=\"1008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPR1171_PS_kl.jpg 1343w, https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPR1171_PS_kl-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPR1171_PS_kl-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ripperkon.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPR1171_PS_kl-1024x769.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1343px) 100vw, 1343px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Video<\/h2>\n<div class=\"video-wrap\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Katadyn BeFree Filter\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CdKL4UNKQ4w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"cta-element\"><h4 class=\"cta-small-title\">Katadyn, Micropur, Optimus<\/h4><h2 class=\"cta-title\">Katadyn Group<\/h2><a class=\"button\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/katadyngroupde\" target=\"_blank\">To the website<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was sponsored by&nbsp;Katadyn Group.
