Sawyer Products Squeezable Pouches for Squeeze Water Filtration System

The Sawyer Products Squeezable Pouches for Squeeze Water Filtration System are a mixed bag, with both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, these pouches are small, lightweight, and work well with the Sawyer mini filter. Many users have found them to be robust and have not experienced any leaks. They are also reusable and can be filled with water from another filtration system, as long as the outlet hose fits inside the pouch. However, there is one major downside to these pouches. Some users have found it difficult to fill them easily, particularly when collecting water from a lake or in choppy conditions. The pouch tends to collapse on itself, making it challenging to get the full capacity of the bag. This results in having to pull it through the water multiple times to get enough water to be useful. One user mentioned that they could only manage to get 16oz into the 32oz bag when filling from a lake. Additionally, one reviewer experienced a failure at the neck of the pouch on their first use in the backcountry, leading to disappointment and the need to switch to another brand. Overall, the Sawyer Products Squeezable Pouches have their strengths in terms of being lightweight and compatible with the Sawyer mini filter. However, the issue with filling them easily and the potential for failures may make some users Consider alternative options, especially for collecting water in challenging conditions.
