Stock Up On Lifestraw Personal Water Filters During This Sale
We tested a ton of water filters for hiking. I like some more than others; Like WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson, I found the MSR AutoFlow XL Gravity Filter ($130) to be a game-changer when camping in the backcountry with my family. This made filtering large quantities of water for cooking and refilling water bottles much easier than our usual routine of sitting on a rock to hand pump the MSR Guardian ($253, $137 off) for an hour.
Get ready for next year with these great deals on tents, backpacks, sleeping bags and merino wool.
I also took the Grayl GeoPress ($80, $20 off) on a trip to the Philippines because it’s fast and filters into its own water bottle to pour into cups for doing things like brushing your teeth. However, for some reason, the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter has an absolute hold on WIRED readers. This weekend, it’s another $10 off.

Straw of life
Personal water filter
It’s not the best water filter, and it’s not even the best LifeStraw. In my opinion, it would be the lightweight and handy Soft Bag, the LifeStraw Peak Series ($32), which you can use to collect water so you don’t put your face in a puddle. I also like the LifeStraw Go series ($34, $16 off). I use the Grayl now, but for years I carried a LifeStraw Go bottle when my family traveled to places like the American South, where my kids refuse to drink the tap water.
But I understand. The first-ever LifeStraw is cheap, lightweight, and perfect for popping into an emergency kit. I have one now, thanks to you, and I keep it in my backpack when I go hiking with my kids, even when I also carry water bottles. It sucks to be thirsty! Watch our video on how to use it below. And yes, my pants were cold and wet for the rest of the day.
