Filtering water on a trip can feel like such a chore, particularly with heavy and complicated filtration systems. We’ve learned the hard way that it’s all too easy to contaminate your clean water when using a squeeze or pump filter. Cue an uncomfortable camping trip... which is why we love the GravityWorks 2.0L Bottle Kitfrom Platypus. This minimalist, ultralight and ultracompact filtration system couldn’t make it much easier to clean your water of all its bugs and nasties. Simply connect the pump-free water filter directly to your water bottle or hydration bladder, fill up the dirty water reservoir, hang it up and let gravity do the hard work. It’s speedy too, with a filter rate of up to 1.5 litres of water per minute.
When it comes to doing anything active in the great outdoors, from trail running to backpacking, thirst is one of the biggest enemies. Without adequate hydration to fuel your body, you can’t perform at your best. And not only that – if you’re thirsty, you’re dehydrated. In the worst-case scenarios, that can become a life-threatening problem.
That’s why US brand Platypus made it their mission to offer the finest, adventure-ready hydration and water filtration products on the planet. They’ve now been at it for over 20 years, fine-tuning their designs to develop highly effective, durable and taste-free bottles, bladders and filters. They even have their own certified, world-class water laboratory, which enables them to research, develop and test innovative technologies for a variety of end uses, from town to trail.
It seems that when water geeks, lab technicians, researchers, designers, directors and worker bees come together, with a shared love for outdoor adventure, the result is H2awesome.
