LifeStraw launched its lightest and most compact water filter. The portable LifeStraw Peak Series Solo Water Filter weighs 1.7 ounces and measures 5.1 inches, removing bacteria, parasites, microplastics, silt, sand, and cloudiness from drinking water. 

The filter’s standard 28mm easily screws onto most common plastic water bottles. And filling up a one-liter bottle takes just 20 seconds due to the one-handed flip cap design and fast flow rate of three liters per minute.
