If you're getting a water filter, I would avoid the Life straw and get the Sawyer mini instead - it's back flushable, has thread attachments and features a smaller membrane size.

- tedmcory77 6y agoThanks. Using a Katadyn myself; it has an adjustable float and that thread attachment is a lifesaver. I do have some lifestraws, but never had to use them.
