The filter has a grey screw lid at both ends, one covering the filter (known as the dirty end) and one that you pour or drink the water from (the clean end).Īnd the 1-litre hydration pack also comes with a grey cap so you can either use on it’s own to carry water or with the filter. The Platypus Quickdraw set includes the microfilter (the blue section) and a 1-litre reservoir system. You can view the range of their different products here. They design their products with a double layer film which means you don’t have that plasticy taste and they are also durable and they have a lifetime warranty on all their products. If you’re looking at lightweight, robust and non-plastic tasting water carriers then I’d certainly recommend Platypus. From water filters, water bottles, hydration packs, drinks tubes and cleaning kits. Platypus focus on all things water related for your hiking or camping adventure.

Platypus Quickdraw Review Filtering water at my wild camp spot on the Pennine Way About Platypus If you’ve read my reviews before you’ll know that even though I’m sent these products to test I’ll give my honest opinion and I’m happy to answer any other questions! Pop them in the comments below. Here I will include what I loved and didn’t like about the Platypus Quickdraw. More recently I’ve used the Platypus GravityWorks system on multi-day hikes and now it’s the turn of the Platypus Quickdraw! I’ve used Platypus products for 10+ years, my first time was on my New Zealand trip, I used a Platypus 2-litre hydration pack with lid as an extra water carrying vessel.

As I had a long distance hike planned it was a perfect opportunity to use and test the filter over my Pennine Way multi-day hike. Now 3 years on I’ve used a few different water filter products and recently I was asked to test out the latest Platypus Quickdraw water filter. In 2019, I tried out my first filter water bottle for my E2W Challenge, hiking 950-miles across Britain and it was a total game-changer! Over the last few years I’ve increased my amount of hiking and wild camping trips. Are you struggling to find the best water filter for your next adventure? Here I review the Platypus Quickdraw filter and answer your questions to help you make the decision whether it’s right for you.
