Its cool. Don't try to drink unfiltered water from a local stream loaded with deadly pathogens. Use the Lifesaver and you know you have safe drinking water on hand.

I’ve already checked on the price! The bottle that will ultimately filter 6000 liters is 250+ British Pounds and the one with the smaller ultimate capacity costs 150 Brit Pounds.

We’ve already decided that we want to get one when they become available over here.

How is this different from the other backpacking water filters like Katadyn, MSR, MicroPur, Platypus, Miox, ...?

The specifications look about the same. The “unique features” on the website don’t look distinctive, except perhaps the chew-proof teat. And I don’t see how they avoid contaminating the drinking end of the filter ... a vital feature to check out when you are selecting a water filter.

A might pricy, too.

Definitely!

Of course, feel free to disregard that advice and drink straight from the Hudson River, if you’d like!
