QuickDraw

Their QuickDraw was defective and barely filtered water.

Ordered three Platypus filters and all of them failed the integrity test.

Has used a QuickDraw on their trips for the last two years and really likes it.

Has been using the Platypus QuickDraw most recently and is sticking with it.

Switched to the Platypus QuickDraw and absolutely loves it.

Doesn't have great faith in their QuickDraw after the first one failed spectacularly and quickly.

Switched to the Platypus QuickDraw and never looked back; a little slower than a BeFree but faster than Sawyers.

Switched from the Sawyer Squeeze to the QuickDraw, which they can also use as a gravity filter.

Switched from a Sawyer to the Platypus QuickDraw a few years back and has really liked it; the only downside is it can't attach directly to a Smartwater bottle.

The QuickDraw is their favorite filter for its easy field integrity check and easy back-flushing with another bottle.

Had a pretty bad experience: their QuickDraw arrived with black mold inside, took three weeks to sort out under warranty, and had further problems on later hikes.

Gave up on the BeFree because of its maintenance; the Platypus QuickDraw is their new favorite.

Used their QuickDraw for the first time and is returning it: the flow was not noticeably faster than the Sawyer, maybe slower.

Used the QuickDraw on a trip and backflushing at home was easy: push a Smartwater bottle onto the clean end and squeeze, easier than a Sawyer.

Has used a Sawyer and just picked up a QuickDraw to try before their next thru-hike, and the Sawyer beats it all day; the flow is about half.

Loves their QuickDraw mostly for the caps on both ends; sleeping with the filter, their Sawyer always leaked on them.

After the Sawyer Mini and Squeeze they prefer the QuickDraw, which performed flawlessly for 12 days on the Tahoe Rim Trail and backflushes easily.

After breaking two Sawyer backflush syringes they got a Platypus filter and have not looked back; it is way more user friendly.

Uses a Platypus QuickDraw with a CNOC bag and likes the QuickDraw's caps.

Loves their QuickDraw and has had zero issues with any of the several they own.

Prefers the QuickDraw: no sport cap needed to backflush, no O-ring to lose, and it hardly clogs.

After their BeFree failed its integrity test they are using their Platypus QuickDraw, which they prefer overall.

Bought a Platypus QuickDraw after their BeFree failed and has not looked back; they find it superior in almost every way.

Just bought their fourth QuickDraw and it was a dud, the second one dead out of the box with no flow at all, but they still love the filter.

Their Platypus QuickDraw keeps going: backflushed regularly, it just keeps working, unlike the two BeFrees that clogged.

From tens of thousands of backcountry miles with both filters, they find the Platypus QuickDraw lasts much longer than the Sawyer Squeeze under typical use, whose flow rate dies well before its rated life.

Has the QuickDraw and it performs excellently; with a Platy 2 L dirty reservoir the whole setup weighs just 3.5 oz.

Uses a QuickDraw with a CNOC bag for day hikes and solo trips, adding the quick-connect cap and a second bag on overnights with others.

Prefers the QuickDraw because it lets them field-test the filter's integrity, though the wide opening to the fibers makes it a bit fragile.

Their 1 L QuickDraw bag weighs 1.13 oz and its wider opening lets them fill it in about five seconds.

Having used both for thousands of miles they find the QuickDraw superior; its field integrity test let them spot a compromised filter on their CDT thru-hike and replace it quickly.

Has used the Platypus QuickDraw since it came out with zero issues; a replacement failed its first test but they sent a new one that was fine.

Bought three QuickDraws over two years that all passed out of the box; one failed after freezing, one after being dropped too often, and the third is fine so far.

Their QuickDraw was extremely slow even after purging air and wetting it out; the maker sent a new one that worked really well.

After a thru-hike with the QuickDraw they find it more thoughtfully designed than the Sawyer, but the filter is not as bombproof.

Hiked about 700 miles with the QuickDraw: better flow than a Squeeze, worse than a new BeFree, but it is still going strong and backflushes easily.

Thinks they got a bad QuickDraw: even after backflushing and soaking it took squeezing incredibly hard to get 40 seconds per liter, though they still hiked the JMT with it.

Bought their QuickDraw in November and by February the dirty-bag connection had fully broken; the dealer sent a replacement.

Destroys everything, but their QuickDraw is fine after about 200 L and still filters a liter in under a minute.

Their new QuickDraw did not work at all the night before a trip despite soaking, so they returned it and bought a Sawyer Squeeze.

Has two QuickDraws and really likes them, but the newer one had atrocious flow and was warrantied, and both bags failed on a recent trip.

Their QuickDraw is still going strong after about two seasons.

Their first QuickDraw had atrocious flow and was warrantied; the second lost integrity after only about 100 L, so they will probably get a Sawyer Squeeze next.

Their brand-new QuickDraw failed completely on first use, while the one bought a year earlier worked flawlessly.

Used the QuickDraw on a 60-mile Loyalsock Trail hike: slower than the BeFree but it can be backflushed, and way faster than their girlfriend's old Sawyer.
