Review: Katadyn BeFree

When it comes to recreating in the great outdoors, hydration is essential. Thanks to the Katadyn BeFree filtration water flask, the guesswork has been taken out of where your next drink will come from, giving you a little extra peace of mind when venturing into the backcountry. This convenient hydration companion provides quick water access no matter where you are. Weighing just over two ounces, the super lightweight, collapsible flask can fit easily into your waders, a jacket pocket, or any backpack. The wide opening allows you to fill the EZ-Clean Membrane with ease in any lake, river, or stream, offering immediate thirst-quenching relief. The Katadyn BeFree is a new addition to my packing-list essentials. Simply fill, drink, and go. Available at Bob Ward's. $40; katadyn.com.
