Squeeze Water Filter
Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The Sawyer Squeeze is the most versatile and proven filter on the market. It threads onto standard water bottles and the included pouches, or can be used inline with a hydration bladder. The 0.1-micron filter is rated for 100,000 gallons.
Who Is the Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter Best For?
The most versatile and long-lasting filter for any water source setup. If that describes your riding style, the Squeeze Water Filter should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Hydration category alongside 9other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 85g and $37, the Squeeze Water Filter is 26g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Katadyn BeFree 1.0L Water Filter at 59g). The most budget-friendly option is the Nalgene Wide Mouth 32oz at $14.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $44 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.

The Bottom Line
