## Reviews

- ★★☆☆☆ **First one had a fault**: My first Straw had a fault out of the box. Support swapped it within a week and the replacement is fine. (Cal F., Wren Falls)
- ★★★★★ **Does exactly what it says**: 0.5 L/min is the real number. We used the Straw for a week at Holloway Pass and it never let us down. (Cal F., Holloway Pass)
- ★★★★★ **Survived a rough trip**: Rain, sand and a tumble down a scree slope near Gillam Ridge. The housing held up and it still works like new. (Tomas B., Gillam Ridge)
- ★★★★★ **Lighter than I expected**: 45 g is nothing in a pack. The Straw rides in the side pocket and I forget it is there. (Tomas B., Pike Barrens)
- ★★★★☆ **The best feature**: What sold me was a straw you drink through directly. It works as described and the kids now argue over who carries it. (Bea N., Brackwater)
- ★★★★☆ **Matches the spec sheet**: The listing promises an element life of 1,000 L and that matches our own trip. Setup takes about a minute. (Marta K., Holloway Pass)
