Whether you are hiking, camping, backpacking, or just need a solid backup water filter, the Sidekick 3-Stage Straw Water Filter by HydroBlu is your perfect adventure companion. The 3-stage water filter provides the most robust filtration of any straw style filter.
The easy to use Sidekick protects you from bacteria, chemicals and heavy metals.. Large sediment is blocked with the cotton pre-filter membrane, increasing the longevity of the filter. Nasty chemicals and heavy metals are adsorbed by the Activated Carbon Filter. Activated Carbon removes lead, iron, cadmium, nickel, chromium, and zinc along with chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Once the pre-filter and Activated Carbon filters have reached their life expectancy of 50 gallons, they can simply be replaced with the extra end cap filter which is included. Finally, the Ultrafiltration Hollow Fiber removes 99.999% of bacteria. Hollow Fiber is made of dozens of tubes that have microscopic holes (0.1 microns) that don’t allow bacteria to pass through, while allowing clean water through by size exclusion technology.
Regardless, if you are running on the trail or backcountry skiing the lightweight design of the Sidekick won’t slow you down as it only weighs 1 ounce. It can fit perfectly into your pocket, day pack, or emergency kit. No matter where you go it’s always better to take your Sidekick with you.

Haven't used yet, but love Hydroblu products!
This is my 3rd Hydroblu purchase. Love the filters, bottles, everything. This little guy is tiny! Came packaged well and can't wait to add it as a backup to my kit. Perfect for travels when you need "something extra" or something small. Hydroblu comes thru again!

Packed away for future...
Great looking products. Purchased 3 of them and like how it comes with an extra filter. Think it's better than life straw because it remove more.

Filters out chemicals and heavy metals -...
I love the idea of a "straw" for the walk home if our west coast city is struck by a large earthquake. I'm delighted that HydroBlu has figured out how to filter out chemicals and heavy metals. Very important in an urban setting!

HydroBlu 3 Stage Water...
This water filter is the most compact filter(I use the clip to attach to my undershirt when I'm at work, because it's so unobtrusive)that I have ever used. The pre filter, filter membrane and carbon filter truly is a wonder to behold. This makes my 6th filter I've purchased, im sure it won't be my last.
