LifeStraw

LifeStraw – Clean drinking water on your terms

Whether you are hiking in the wild, on a survival course or packing your bug-out bag, LifeStraw is your guarantee of safe drinking water. With its advanced hollow-fibre membrane technology, LifeStraw removes up to 99.9999% of bacteria and parasites from the water. That means you can drink from lakes, rivers and streams without worrying about stomach infections. We carry LifeStraw because we know reliable outdoor gear is the difference between a good and a bad experience in the field.

Clean water straight from the source

LifeStraw offers several solutions, depending on how you travel outdoors:

• LifeStraw Personal: The original "straw". It weighs next to nothing and can filter up to 4,000 litres of water. It is the ideal emergency filter for your backpack.

• LifeStraw Go: A robust water bottle with a built-in filter. Fill it from a stream and drink straight away – ideal for both hiking and travelling abroad.

• Peak series: The latest generation of filters, even more durable and versatile, designed to withstand the toughest conditions you can meet outdoors.

An essential part of your pack

When you are out in your hunting and outdoor clothing, the weight of your pack matters. With a LifeStraw you do not need to carry litres of water, because you can filter it along the way:

1. Safety: Protects against microplastics, bacteria such as E. coli and parasites such as Giardia.

2. Ease of use: No batteries, no chemicals and no waiting time. You simply suck the water through the filter.

3. Durability: The filters are very robust and need minimal maintenance to last for years.

Looking after your filters

To make sure your LifeStraw keeps delivering clean water, proper care after every trip is important:

• Flushing: After use, always blow air back through the straw to remove excess water and dirt from the membrane.

• Storage: Make sure the filter is dry before putting it away for a longer period. For cleaning the outer parts of your bottles, you will find mild products in our cleaning and maintenance collection.

• Combine with your gear: A LifeStraw fits neatly in a side pocket on your GFC Tactical vest, so you always have quick access to water.

Make a difference

When you buy LifeStraw, you also support their "Give Back" programme, which provides clean drinking water to schoolchildren in developing countries. It is gear with a purpose.
