Sawyer MINI Water Filtration System Black

The Sawyer MINI Water Filtration System is a lightweight, portable water filter built for hunters, backcountry campers, overlanders, and anyone who needs reliable hydration in the field. Weighing just 2 ounces, this compact filter doesn't ask you to choose between capability and pack weight—it delivers serious purification performance without the bulk. The MINI filters to 0.1 micron absolute, exceeding EPA and NSF standards, so you can confidently drink from streams, ponds, and questionable water sources without worry.

What sets the Sawyer MINI apart is its real-world versatility. Drink directly from the filter straw, attach it to the included 16 oz squeeze pouch, thread it inline on a hydration pack, or screw it onto standard bottled water tops—you get multiple ways to stay hydrated depending on your situation. No matter how you use it, the filter removes bacteria, protozoa, and sediment that can ruin a trip or worse. With a capacity of up to 100,000 gallons, you'll never wear out a filter in the field; backflushing with the included cleaning plunger keeps it performing for years, and there are no cartridges to buy or replace.

This is the kit version, so you get everything you need to start filtering immediately: the MINI filter itself, the 16 oz squeeze pouch, a 7-inch drinking straw, and the backflush plunger. Drop it in your pack, your truck, your go-bag, or your boat—the MINI is small enough that you'll actually carry it.
