- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseI purchased the LifeStraw for emergency situations while hiking and camping, and I’m really impressed with it so far. I followed the initial test instructions, and it worked exactly as expected. The filtration is effective, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I have a reliable way to access clean, safe drinking water if needed. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and a great addition to any outdoor or emergency kit. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseThe LifeStraw has been a solid addition to my hiking and camping gear. It works great and does exactly what it promises which is providing clean, drinkable water from natural sources. During my trips, it has filtered water efficiently, allowing me to stay hydrated without any issues.
What I like about the LifeStraw is its simplicity and ease of use. It’s lightweight and portable, making it perfect for travel and emergency preparedness. I can easily carry it in my backpack without taking up much space. I leave one in the vehicles as well with the spare tire.
On the flip side, there's not much to say in terms of drawbacks. It’s a straightforward product that does its job well. It doesn't have any bells and whistles, but for a personal water filter, that’s exactly what you need.
I think this straw is great for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities. It offers peace of mind knowing you can access safe drinking water, making it a must have for hiking, camping, and emergency situations.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseHaven’t had a chance to use it but it’s a reputable brand. I didn’t realize how big it is but it’s a great addition to the bug out bag. I would still recommend boiling water and using this as a second filter.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseFor the price you can't beat a life straw but should only be used in an emergency like life or death situation otherwise spend more money and get a more high-end water filter. This is one of many life straws I bought, so they are definitely worth buying if you need clean water when hiking or in an emergency situation.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2025Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseThe LifeStraw is such a cool little thing to have around. We bring it on hikes and camping trips, and it’s also just good to keep in our emergency bag—just in case. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and really gives peace of mind knowing you can drink safely from pretty much anywhere. Definitely one of those “better to have it and not need it” kind of items. We love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2024Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseThe LifeStraw Personal Water Filter has become an indispensable part of my hiking and camping gear. This little device offers peace of mind and unparalleled convenience when accessing clean drinking water in the great outdoors.
The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry, fitting perfectly in my backpack without taking up much space. Despite its small size, the LifeStraw delivers impressive performance. It effectively filters out bacteria and parasites, ensuring that every sip is safe and clean. I’ve used it on multiple trips, and it has never let me down.
Using the LifeStraw is straightforward and hassle-free. Just place the straw in any water source and drink directly—no need for batteries, complicated setup, or waiting time. The flow rate is excellent, allowing me to hydrate quickly, which is crucial during intense hikes or emergencies.
I also appreciate its versatility. Whether I'm hiking, camping, traveling, or preparing for emergencies, the LifeStraw provides reliable access to safe drinking water. It's a must-have for anyone who spends time outdoors or wants to be prepared for unexpected situations.
In summary, the LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is an exceptional product that combines convenience, reliability, and safety. It has enhanced my outdoor experiences and given me confidence that I can stay hydrated no matter where I am. Highly recommended for adventurers and emergency preparedness! Great job, LifeStraw!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2016Color: BlueStyle: 1 PackVerified PurchaseI read a lot of reviews and articles that suggested getting the lifestraw, and I'm glad I followed their advice. My only question at this point is should I get the steel version for our 2nd one, especially as it filters chemicals (i.e., pesticides, metals), has another separate filter, may be even more durable, and helps make the liquids taste better. One of the interesting things I found out about the lifestraw while researching is that it was originally developed to help people in developing nations with local water problems so that they could get clean water while a more permanent solution was found. Awesome - I can't think of a better use for it and would gladly support anyone engaged in such causes.
Below are some other great reasons to get it:
1. It's one of the most compact water filters you can find that still does an amazing job
2. It's sturdy/durable
3. It does its job well with a backed up standard of filtering 99+% bacteria, protozoans - it boasts a filtration rate that rivals industrial filtration standards for our own tap water.
4. It does not impose any strange tastes to the water after filtering (although it also does not make crap tasting water more pleasurable to the palate - so be careful what water/liquid you use it on).
5. It filters 1000 liters before replacement is recommended - depending on the person, that's enough water for one person for about 500 days emergency supply. Or about 350 days of camping. It should be noted, though, that if it isn't kept clean and dry, it probably won't last that long.
6. To follow up this last point - if kept clean and dry, it purportedly lasts 5 years (given that you have filtered <1000 L) or indefinitely if you keep it in the bag it comes in without use. This is a very positive aspect of it for use with a first aid kit or an emergency water or food supply.
7. Even with the filter, the flow rate is more than adequate to quench your thirst without feeling like you're struggling to suck it through the straw. I should note, though, that when you first pull on the straw, it will take a couple seconds for the water to come up through unlike your run-of-the mill straw.
Cons:
Very few in this category but a couple to note nonetheless.
1. This is not meant for water storage - they do make a water bottle version, but no large containers come with or are associated with this.
2. This is not very convenient for drinking from a portable water reservoir or bladder (i.e., camelbak, osprey, etc). So, if you intend to use it camping or hiking, your best bet is to use it on streams and the like. If you have a hard time bending over to get to said water source, this probably isn't the filter for you.
3. Following up on this last point, if you need to filter large quantities (for your family camp site for cooking, etc) this is not what you need. I would recommend getting a gravity filter, iodine tablets, or something similar for that purpose.
Overall, very happy with the lifestraw, especially for its price and versatility. It's very useful and brings peace of mind in case of an emergency.
