When you’re out in the backcountry, staying hydrated is everything. But carrying multiple bottles of water? Heavy, bulky, and inconvenient. That’s where BeFree water bottles and SteriPEN UV water purifiers come in, two essential tools for anglers, hikers, campers, and anyone who spends time outdoors.
These compact, lightweight systems make it easy to get safe drinking water no matter where your adventures take you. Here’s a quick breakdown of how each works, and why they’re a perfect pair.
BeFree Collapsible Water Bottles: Lightweight Filtration on the Go
BeFree bottles are collapsible, durable, and built with a high-performance microfilter that removes sediment and particulates. You can drink straight from the bottle, just fill, screw the cap on, and sip through the nozzle.
Two Styles, One Litre Capacity Each:
- Blue Bottle: Ultralightweight, perfect for trail runners and ultralight campers.
- Black Bottle: Double-walled for extra durability while staying packable.
Each bottle comes with a small activated carbon puck that reduces chemical contaminants and improves taste. Filters last up to 1,000 litres before needing replacement, plenty for a lifetime of trips for most users.
Cleaning is simple: pop the filter out, rinse it in clean water, and you’re good to go!
SteriPEN UV Purifiers: Lightweight Water Purification
While BeFree bottles handle filtration, the SteriPEN Ultra UV purifier takes care of purification, neutralizing viruses and bacteria that filters can’t catch.
Simply place the UV lamp in your water bottle, press the button, and stir for about 90 seconds. The SteriPEN’s display lets you know when your water is safe to drink. Works best in water that’s already free of heavy sediment, if water is cloudy make sure to filter it first, then purify.
One charge lasts for many uses and can easily be topped up with a solar charger or power bank, perfect for long treks.
Compact, rugged, and pocket-sized, the SteriPEN is built for adventurers who want safe water without hassle.
Why Use Both Together?
Think of BeFree bottles as your first line of defense, removing debris, sediment, and improving taste. The SteriPEN finishes the job by neutralizing harmful microorganisms. Together, they give you reliable hydration anywhere, from alpine lakes to remote rivers.
