LIFESTRAW GO2

We have been using this filter bottle for years and also the Lifestraw Personal, very light but not equipped with a reserve.

The Lifestraw Go2 water bottle is for all those who have doubts about the water quality and want to filter it easily. It’s fairly heavy, 280g (for 650ml), its rigid format makes it a product suitable for trekking, traveling and day trips. For trail running, we now have other flexible and lighter products on the market.

The Lifestraw Go2 is equipped with a filter that plunges into the water bottle and, according to Lifestraw, removes the presence of bacteria, protozoa, and micro-plastics. A carbon filter reduces the presence of chlorine, organic matter and reduces unpleasant tastes. Please note, “clean” does not mean “tasteless”. Indeed, if the filter fulfills its mission, it doesn’t transform “dodgy” water into spring water with a slice of lemon and aperitif biscuits! You still have a taste depending on the primary water drawn quality. Our tip? Add a dash of mint cordial to possibly hide its bad taste.

The Lifestraw Go2 is an effective, safe and more convenient solution than the disinfectant pill thrown into water. As the filter is directly integrated into the bottle, you don’t even think about it and you are certain to drink “clean”.

When you fill it with water containing floating particles, the filter has a natural tendency to get clogged up and you may need to clean it.

To drink, you have to pull out the pipette. The flow is not very fast, but the water flows without the need to suck too hard, unlike other systems where you have to suck like mad. The pipette holds securely in place when closed. The bottle has a wide opening for easy cleaning. You can change the filters. They are designed for 1000 liters for the main filter and 100 liters for the carbon filter. As there is no change in color or you have no instant way of knowing when you need to change it, it’s a bit of  guesswork by keeping an eye on consumption, in order to always have an operational product.

The Lifestraw Go2 can be attached by a very practical carabiner, which makes a little metallic noise against the ring: annoying if you are doing animal photography or when you want to remain discreet. It is mainly used for securing the bottle to your pack. It’s a bit difficult to wear this bottle on your belt, large volume and weight.

The bottle is solid with a very tight the seal. It can be cleaned in the dishwasher, you must remove the filter first.

The Lifestraw Go2 is an excellent filtering travel bottle. An almost essential product if you want to be sure to drink “safe” water under all circumstances. Its extra grams are offset by its high efficiency.
