Water Storage + Filtration
Let’s face it, water is the most important and the heaviest thing you’ll be carrying when going on a camping trip. Did you know water weighs over 8 lbs per gallon? The Seeker 6+ is the perfect piece of gear to eliminate the hassle of packing in heavy loads of water. The Seeker 6+ inline filter connects with a Plug-N-Play Cap to deliver gravity filtered water when hung. The filter itself removes 99.99% of E Coli & Parasitic cysts and filters approximately 1,500 liters of fresh water at a rate of >1 L per minute.
