Pros
- This Lifestraw is awesome!
- Don't forget to bring along a way to make clean water. Something like a Lifestraw or a Sawyer.
- Parent context: While we're on the subject, how do you feel about drinking the lake water with a lifestraw? Is it pretty safe or should I add purification drops as well? Reply: Probably safe with one or the other to be honest. Somewhat d...
- A katadyn filter or lifestraw, yes.
Cons
- We just got a LifeStraw for travel and 1-2 day trips in case we run out of water by mistake. How far would you want to be from farmland and roadways to consider the LifeStraw personal effective at filtering contaminants?
- Lifestraw is honestly the worst for me, though. The sucking gets harder and harder over time, and it’s just annoying to drink from.
- Had a life straw and hated it as it was harder to drink from than a McD’s milkshake through a coffee stir stick.
- IME LifeStraw water has a horribly strong plastic taste.
- Life straw sucks for regular use. It's fine for emergencies.

most of their models are terribly designed as they cannot be used with positive pressure and cannot be back flushed to renew them.
