Sawyer Squeeze Filter with CNOC 1L

Sawyer Squeeze Filter with CNOC 1L Bottle

A proven, ultralight squeeze filter paired with one of the best collapsible bottles available for a complete, packable water filtration system that handles everything from solo day hikes to long thru-hikes. The Sawyer Squeeze's legendary filtration performance combined with the CNOC bottle's flexible yet stand-up design makes this a go-to water system for minimalist backpackers.

Why We Carry It
It's the filter system we recommend for thru-hikers and ultralight backpackers who want a proven, long-lasting filtration solution in the lightest, most packable format available.

Highlights

• 0.1 micron hollow fiber membrane — Removes 99.99999% of bacteria including Salmonella, Cholera, and E. coli, 99.9999% of protozoa including Giardia and Cryptosporidium, and 100% of microplastics. Among the most comprehensive filtration specs available in a squeeze filter at this weight.
• Rated to 100,000 gallons lifetime — One of the longest-lasting filters on the market. A genuine lifetime filter for most backpackers that never needs a replacement cartridge with proper maintenance.
• CNOC 1L collapsible BPA-free TPU bottle — Soft and packable when empty, sturdy enough to stand upright when full. The flexibility to squeeze water through the filter and the structure to sit on a rock at the water source without tipping over. A meaningful improvement over flimsier collapsible bottles.
• Under 5-ounce total system weight — An ultralight complete water filtration system that earns its place in the most weight-conscious kit without meaningful compromise on filtration performance or bottle capacity.
• Thick fiber walls for strong backwashing — More durable hollow fiber construction that handles repeated backwashing over a long filter lifespan without the membrane degrading. A durability detail that matters on multi-month thru-hikes.
• Cleaning coupling and plunger included — Everything needed for field backwashing and deep cleaning in one kit out of the box without sourcing additional accessories.
• Triple-tested during manufacturing — Each filter is individually tested three times before leaving the factory for quality assurance beyond batch certification.
• Supports clean water initiatives — Every Sawyer purchase contributes to clean water programs around the world.
