Lightweight is your demand, but pumping performance is also a must.  Our lightest backcountry filter, the compact Katadyn Hiker Pro, steps up as your best choice for safe hydration and great-tasting refreshment on the trail. Just a quick stop at a stream or lake nets you 1 liter/minute. The quick-connect fittings enable the simplicity of one-step filtering directly into most reservoirs or bottles. Plus, a cleanable filter protector allows on-the-go maintenance.

0.2 micron filter with activated carbon filter removes bacteria and other microorganisms along with taste.

Hiker microfilter is rated for 200 gallons (750 Liters), depending on water quality.  Hiker Pro microfilter is rated for 300 gallons (1150 Liters), depending on water quality.  Both pump at an estimated 1 quart/liter per minute.  Replacement filter fits both systems, upgrading Hiker system to the capabilities of the Hiker Pro.
