Bicycling Cadence

| Description:
|
This is a replacement water filter that will fit not only LifeStraw water bottles, but also Camelbak, Contigo (some models), Hydroflask, Kleen Kanteen, Nalgene, and more (minimum bottle height: 7.3 inches). It is a 2-stage filter: the microbial filter will remove bacteria (E. coli) and parasitic protozoa (cryptosporidia, Giardia), but not viruses (hepatitis A). The activated carbon capsule removes chemicals like chlorine and improves taste.

0.2 microns: filters bacteria and parasitic protozoa, but not viruses. Also removes microplastics.

Replace the cap on your regular water bottle with this to turn it into a "scoop-and-go" water filter.

Hikers, backpackers, adventure racers

| Special Features:
|
Two different-sized threaded caps: standard and wide-mouth. Two mouthpieces: standard and sport.

| Why It's Cool:
|
It's compatible with many different brands of water bottles. In addition, LifeStraw (parent company Vestergaard) gives back: one product, one school child, one year of clean water.
