Every Amazon shopper knows how important it is to check a products customer ratings and reviews before you purchase. The LifeStraw has more than 36,400 customer ratings and a solid 4.7-star rating from reviewers who have purchased and tested the product themselves.

“Lowest cost water filter - and it actually works. I don’t like the idea of using chemicals to purify water and boiling in the woods takes too much time, wastes fuel or if over the fire leaves smoke taste on the water. This little filter is excellent for personal use. Not good for large amounts of filtering because it’s used like a straw. Good for short trips or day trips as a just in case. You don’t want to get caught without water and play Russian roulette with drinking from untrustworthy sources in the bush,” one Amazon shopper wrote.
