The Katadyn Hiker is the perfect companion for hikers and campers, coasting and hiking alike. It is lightweight, easy to use and versatile, with a wide variety of use cases to suit your every need.
What is it?
Katadyn is a company specializing in devices that are used to make hiking and camping safer and easier. Their Hiker water filtration system is the most effective unopened upstream filter that satisfies the US EPA standards. It can be used as an upstream filter or as a front-line filter. The Hiker is intended for use in extreme conditions requiring the use of iodine tablets or clear water.
The fill is made from Lyman infinite fibers, selected for their iodine breeding properties. iodine crystals are stable and slightly soluble in water.
How does it work?
When you stop your water flowing, the filtration process is incomplete. To fix this problem, simply let evaporate the water or condense the liquid through a pre-filter.
What does the Katadyn Hiker recommend?
The Hiker Mini currently supports seven different filter architectures. These include the extended range of plankton, the station-keeping manager, mechanical filters, recessed buckets and Magnapak eco lakes.
Additionally, the Hiker Mini can be adapted to house a full solar panel as an energy source. This would provide recharging for devices such as MP3 players, portable TVs, digital camera batteries and similar things. The capacity is low enough that you may only need to carry a small butane lighter, for example, if you are concerned aboutongoing cooking or heating needs.
The Katadyn Hiker is a portable water filtration system that currently weighs 23.5 liters with four filters. It is Katadyn’s lightest filtration device and creates drinkable water three times faster than the old methods.
The extended range of plankton has natural anti-microbial properties. In addition, they don’t require any electricity to pump water. The pump can be heard breathing.

My favorite use for the Katadyn Hiker is for extended backpacking. Having a full water bottle means I can more easily re-hydrate during the ride and stay more alert during the trail.
I have seen many other people out on the trail who don’t carry a water bottle with them. These people pack the water bottles at the bottom of their backpacks, and for obvious reasons cant carry a cooler. When you are stopping for a break in the middle of the trail, stopping for water will be a welcome sight to your team mates. Everybody will love soft drinks when it’s cold and everyone knows that cold drinks are go. That’s probably why its down to the last gallons on your cold bottle list.
The Katadyn Hiker is a light weight water filter bottle that is packed 12 ways. The first way to weight the bottle is by using your body weight to weigh the bottle. Put said bottle down in your pack on the top of your hip belt. Most of the bottles have handles so pack the bottle and handle together. No need to worry about cup holders or extra bottles. The other direct way to weight the bottle is to remove the inner lining. Bend the neckline so that the remainder of the neckline is exposed. Some have a metal loop that will hang on the inside of the bottle. You can get these in 3 different lengths. Since we are only considering micro brewing here, we can leave the loop at the 12 ounce size. Each length in the loop is approximately equal in size.
Let’s assume you will be using the bottle for a 12 ounce load. First simply check the labels on the water bottles for the best balance between weight and volume. If the bottle does not list a precise weight, guess what its label is.
