Micro Squeeze Water Filtration System

The Micro Squeeze is Sawyer's mid-size hollow-fiber squeeze filter, sitting between the full-size Squeeze and the Mini in both size and flow rate. Gear-heads carry it because it delivers protected water at roughly two ounces, threads onto standard disposable bottles, and needs no pumping, chemicals, or wait time.

Squeeze Water Filtration System

The Sawyer Squeeze is the default backcountry water filter for good reason: a 0.1-micron hollow-fiber membrane that threads straight onto a Smartwater bottle, weighs about three ounces, and backflushes clean for years. It removes bacteria and protozoa but not viruses, which almost never matter on North American trails.
