Hiking: ÖKO Filter Bottle, the essential ally

Why filter water when hiking?

An athlete needs up to 3 liters of water per hour* to compensate for his loss (multiplied by the duration). Carrying that much water on a tour is impossible.

Unless we ensure that the water points on the circuit are fit for consumption, filtering water is the only solution to guarantee drinking water.

Filtering water allows: 

• carry fewer bottles = less weight and plastic in the bag
• reduced exposure to bacteria = less risk of gastric disorders
• reduce the risk of water deficiency = less dehydration and fatigue
