Customer Reviews Summary

Good quality product. I've had this LifeStraw in my backpack for many years and I've never had to use it. Part of me hopes that I will never have to use it but I wouldn't be afraid if I had to. I use this straw as a life saving device in the case I get caught in the woods without water. So far that hasn't happened, but this this has been through a lot riding in my back pack. It makes its way into the woods every time I do and it comes back looking like it never left. So far, it's help up the abuse I've put it through while riding with me. It's light weight and durable plastic and you hardly know its there. I like the comfort and peace of mind this gives me and I have purchased more since this one to make sure I'm never to far from a LifeStaw. I would recommend this to anyone that likes to hike or hunt in the wilderness because it might one day save your life.
