Since the inception of their genius water filter straw idea in 1999, LifeStraw has consistently innovated on the idea of safe hydrating wherever and whenever. The company's latest product, the Peak Solo, is the lightest and most compact yet, making it perfect for backpacking.
The new Peak Solo weighs a feathery 1.7oz, and its stout frame measures a shade over 5.1 inches. Compared with the 3oz Sawyer Squeeze filter—the most popular water filter for hardcore ultralight hikers—and the 2.2oz Platypus QuickDraw microfilter, another competitor for fast and light backpackers, the new Peak Solo is officially the lightest of its kind on the market.
Tucking a LifeStraw into a hiking pack or an emergency kit was already an undemanding task, and with this updated tidy design, it just got even easier. On one end, the Peak Solo is equipped with a new wider mouthpiece and attached leak-proof lid, and on the other is a removable cap with 28mm threading that's compatible with any standard plastic bottle for you ultralight thru-hikers.
