A lightweight, durable collaboration that delivers fast, dependable water filtration for hiking and fast-moving adventures.
Sawyer International says:
Durable, packable, and ultralight, this foldable 750ml bladder is made from extra-tough TPU for fast filtration wherever you need it.
The 0.1 micron absolute hollow-fiber membrane filter removes 99.99999% of bacteria (like salmonella, cholera, and E. coli), 99.9999% of protozoa (such as giardia and cryptosporidium), and 100% of microplastics, delivering highly effective filtration. It pairs with an ultralight, foldable 750 ml TPU bladder, made BPA-free, FDA-approved, and durable enough for any adventure. The reusable Sawyer Squeeze Filter lasts up to 100,000 gallons and has reinforced fiber walls for strong backwashing. Weighing under 4 ounces, the system includes a cleaning coupling and plunger, and allows for direct drinking, stowing in a vest, or dispensing water into another vessel. Triple-tested for safety, it’s built for convenience and reliability.
Our Verdict
A compact, durable filtration system from two trusted names in lightweight water treatment. The proven Sawyer Micro Squeeze filter combines with CNOC’s premium TPU pouch to create a reliable, efficient setup for hiking, running and fastpacking.
At 87g combined, the system filters water quickly and cleanly while remaining simple to use. The CNOC pouch is tougher and easier to fill than older squeeze bags, and the filter threads securely to allow direct drinking or filling of bottles. Flow rate is strong for clear sources, and maintenance is straightforward. For short outings, backflushing can wait until home, but on longer treks, you’ll need to carry the supplied syringe to keep performance consistent.
The 750ml capacity suits fast-moving trips where weight and space matter. This collaboration offers excellent practicality and long-term reliability.

Features
- Great for outdoor recreation, hiking, camping, scouting, domestic and international travel, and emergency preparedness, the Sawyer Micro Squeeze Filter gives you a variety of ways to access clean water.
- Simply fill up the included reusable pouch at any water source, screw the filter onto the pouch, and drink directly from the filter or squeeze water into a water bottle.
- For even more versatility, screw the filter onto most standard disposable water or soda bottles, or attach it inline on hydration packs (sold separately).
- The Micro Squeeze’s filtering membranes are sturdy enough to withstand backwashing using the included syringe, restoring up to 98.5% of the filter’s flow rate each time you clean it.
- The Micro Squeeze can be cleaned and reused almost indefinitely with no expensive cartridges to replace… ever. We recommend backwashing and sanitizing the filter after every outing for optimized use.
