Sawyer Products Squeezable Pouches for Squeeze Water Filtration System

Pouches are easy to roll up for compactness, durable and function with other water filtration products. Already have a couple in Mt go bag as they are so compact for the 64 ounces they hold. Rock solid product that will serve you well when the situation is less than optimal.

I've been using these for the tap water. Water looks clear. Easy to use. Good filtering. I use it for washing my face and brushing my teeth. I have never drank tap water my entire life and will not start now even with a filter.

TLDR: The Sawyer Squeezable Pouches are the perfect lightweight, collapsible, and high-capacity dirty water vessels that complete the best-in-class Sawyer Squeeze system. They are fast to fill, easy to use, and absolutely essential for ensuring you always have water to filter on the trail. Introduction Having used the incredible Sawyer Squeeze filter for years, I realized early on that its performance is only as good as the system you pair it with. The Sawyer Products Squeezable Pouches are not just simple bags; they are purpose-built, lightweight, and essential components of a superior water filtration setup. I purchased this set of pouches to have backups and to increase my overall dirty water capacity on long-distance hikes, and they have been flawless. My initial thought was that a plastic pouch is just a plastic pouch—but these are engineered for the task. Detail Your Experience and Analysis The design of these pouches is simple yet highly effective. They are made from a durable, yet flexible material that allows them to be completely collapsed and rolled up when empty, taking up virtually no space and adding negligible weight to my pack. This portability is a massive advantage over bulky hard bottles. The narrow mouth is perfectly threaded to mate with the Sawyer Squeeze filter, creating a secure, leak-proof connection every time. While some hikers find the narrow mouth a challenge for scooping water in a slow trickle, I have found it an asset. It allows for a fast, concentrated stream when filling from waterfalls or seeps, and the bag's flexibility makes it easy to manipulate in shallow pools. When filtering, the pouch is meant to be squeezed or rolled, pushing the water through the filter at an impressive flow rate. They are tough enough to handle the necessary pressure without bursting, a significant improvement over flimsy alternatives. Being able to carry a couple of liters of "dirty" water and filter it on the move or back at camp is a critical advantage, giving me peace of mind about water availability. They truly shine as an integral part of the Squeeze system. Pros and Cons Pros Ultralight and Compact: They fold completely flat, taking up minimal space and weight in a pack. Perfect Compatibility: The 28mm threading is custom-made for a leak-proof seal with all Sawyer Squeeze filters. Increased Capacity: Allows carrying multiple liters of "dirty" water for filtering back at camp or during water carries. Fast Flow Rate: Their durable yet pliable material is strong enough to handle the pressure needed for quick filtering. BPA-Free: Safe and reliable material for carrying source water. Cons Small Opening: Can be a little slow to fill from very shallow or stagnant water sources compared to a wide-mouth bladder. Verdict The Sawyer Products Squeezable Pouches are a five-star piece of gear. They are the essential complement to the best portable water filter on the market, offering the perfect blend of high capacity, minimal weight, and necessary durability. The slight difficulty in filling from the absolute shallowest sources is a minor trade-off for their rock-solid performance and ultralight portability. They are a must-have for anyone utilizing the Sawyer Squeeze or Mini filter for backpacking, hiking, or emergency preparedness.

I bought two of these bags in 2020, to alternate as dirty water bags in a jury-rigged gravity feed on a Sawyer squeeze into a collapsible jug. The system worked great for about 10 trips. Then on my most recent camping adventure, both bags failed on the same day, right where the plastic spout is joined to the mylar. These were lightly used, hardly ever squeezed, not carried by the nozzle, and usually just hung upside down and gravity-fed through the Sawyer. I guess all plastic fails eventually, no matter how well-made. I wish they'd lasted a bit longer, but I can't fault plastic for being plastic. I'm buying two more today, because I can't think of anything more durable to use that would roll up nearly flat and fit into my water kit, for backpacking. (A plastic bottle would be too bulky in my opinion.) So, I'm going to give these mylar bags another shot, even though they both failed. I suspect it had to do more with their age, than poor craftsmanship. They seem like good quality bags, and I'll probably buy two more 4 years from now (proactively, so that I'll have a newer replacement to swap in). All in all, I'd still recommend these bags.

I love my Sawyer Squeeze system and these bags just made it better. The old bags did wear out just as the company advertises. The new blue bags seem to be made much better so they will survive use much longer. I watered an entire Boy Scout Troop through an Elkorn High Adventure Base trek in the Rockies last year with this system and the old grey bags. We had 2 other MSR pump filters on the hike but one of them failed in its first use and the other one we discovered was missing parts and never functioned at all! (We had all the parts at the shakedown but they got misplaced getting into the pack) So very simply, unlike the pump water filter systems, the Sawyer Squeeze works every time! It is also 1/4 the weight of the other pumps and the bags can be used to store water for the hike too. The filter will fit any standard water bottle top so when a bag does wear out, I can use other items instead of a bag. I carry 500ml water battles you can buy at any store because they weigh less than Nalgenes and canteens and fit my filter. The old bags were good but these new bags are much nicer. For the weight of one pump filter alone I can carry 4 Sawyer filters, back flush syringe, and 8 of the 64 oz bags capable of holding 16 liters of water! I don't carry cast iron dutch ovens or pump filters when I hike!

These are much better size compared to the 16oz bags that come with most sawyer mini filters. Plus it's always good to carry an extra bag. I've been using Sawyer products since 2017 and can't be happier. Had an issue only 1 time and customer service took care of our needs!

Sawyer Squeeze and its attachments will outlast its competitors. Excellent quality , Lightweight and easy to use .

Resistant et bien pratique en utilisation avec le filtre du même fabricant. Bien rincer et sécher avant stockage ...

Material resistente, bien acabado y la rosca es compatible con las de la marca Platypus. Utilizo estas bolsas como complemento del filtro Sawyer Mini, en ellas almaceno el agua filtrada mientras espero a que haga efecto una pastilla potabilizadora que siempre uso como medida extra de seguridad. Como cada pastilla potabilizadora es para un litro de agua esta bolsa es ideal al tener la misma capacidad, por lo que no tengo que preocuparme de medir: una pastilla, una bolsa. Una ventaja de este tipo de recipientes es que una vez vacíos su volumen es mínimo, casi como el de una hoja de papel de no ser por la boca de llenado y el tapón, otra es el peso tan solo 30 gr. frente a los 180 gr. de mi botella de agua de plástico rígido. 180 gr. equivalen a 6 bolsas Sawyer, es decir 6 litros de agua, si esa misma cantidad la tuviera que almacenar en 6 botellas estaríamos hablando de 1,08 kg de peso solo en recipientes. Por no hablar del volumen que ocuparían. Solo utilizo las bolsas para el agua, no las he probado con otros líquidos, como zumos, bebidas isotónicas o bebidas con gas, aunque no lo recomiendo, pues es difícil de limpiar el interior, las bebidas con gas pueden producir fugas de liquido por la presión y con los zumos cabe la posibilidad que la acidez de algunos afecte al material. Otros usos: Como bolsa de agua caliente en las acampadas en ambientes fríos, siempre con cuidado de no introducir agua excesivamente caliente y asegurándose de que el tapón cierra herméticamente y no tiene posibilidades de apertura accidental.
