New color. The Katadyn Hiker PRO comes with a removable filter protector to extend cartridge life in challenging conditions. Thanks to quick connect fittings the installation and removal of input and output hoses is easy! It also connects directly to hydration packs with 1/4” drink tubes (ie Camelbak). Includes: Prefilter, bottle adapter and carry bag.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Buy this - you shouldn't skimp when it comes to health & safety
Great product. Extremely compact and easy to use. This is the gold standard - worth the extra money.
Two suggestions:
1. Make sure you know exactly which hoses go where before you start attaching them. They can be very difficult to remove once you put them on.
2. BE SURE to use the silicone lubricant when attaching the hoses. I tried to put one on without it and it was 10x harder to connect.

Pond Water Never Tasted Better!
I used this for a recent mountain climbing trip and I worked perfect. The water coming out of the lake and rivers tasted great.
The only thing I would suggest to improve the product would be some sort of rubber washer or seal of some kind for the bottle topper part so that it's not just loose and dangling around the top of a bottle when it's filling. Because you'll have one hand on the unit and the other hand on the pump when using it so you need something to hold the topper part to the bottle you're filling. You could just put the hose directly into the bottle or whatever though without that part if you need.
Another thing I couldn't really figure out how to do was get the rest of the water in the pump out before sealing it all back up in the bag. I tried upside down pumping (even though I think I read somewhere not to do that). It seemed like the handle didn't want to close all the way before it was empty of water and then later on while hiking any leftover...
Katadyn Hiker Pro Microfilter Review
The product worked well when I first used it on a 3 day hiking trip. Unfortunately, a small piece broke on the second day. Another guy I was with had a filter as well (the same model) so my broken filter didn't cause a problem with our hiking trip.
When I got back, I called Katadyn about the broken filter. In less then a minute on the phone, they agreed to send me a new housing case for the filter. Katadyn's service was awesome! I haven't got a chance to use the product again.
