See What Our Customers Are Saying About the Platypus QuickDraw Ultralight

I used the QuickDraw throughout my PCT hike and it was a game-changer. Lightweight, super fast flow rate, and the compatibility with Smartwater bottles made it so convenient. I barely noticed it in my pack, and cleaning it was effortless.
Emma J.
Thru-Hiker, Pacific Crest Trail

This filter exceeded my expectations. It filled my bottle in seconds, didn’t clog even in murky river water, and was easy to clean. I love that it connects to multiple bottle types—makes my setup super flexible.
