Sawyer S1 Select Filter and Insect Repellent In times of quarantine, there are only a few things that we can still participate in. With restaurants, playgrounds, and malls closed many people—even those who are not hikers—have decided to find their inner hikers and hit the trails. Depending on how intense your hike will be, you'll need a good pair of shoes, a comfortable backpack, and Sawyer has the rest covered. Running out of water during your hike can be tragic, and while you might come across a water stream, that water might contain pesticides. This is where the S1 Select Filter comes in to save the day. While it might be tempting to use the S1 with faucet water, this will damage the filter, as it's made for it to be used with fresh water found in the wild. The S1 is very easy to use, and it's very light, so it won't add much extra weight to your backpack. Simply f ill the bottle with water, then squeeze the bottle —squeeze the top, then the bot tom— for about 10 seconds. Then you're ready to star t drinking. The filter not only removes all contaminants found in the fresh water, but also improves the odor and taste of the water. The S1 accomplishes this through absorption foam technology – it will remove bacteria, protozoa, chemicals, and pesticides. The micron absolute Hollow Fiber Membrane filter together with a proprietary Foam membrane allows you to enjoy fresh water when you need it the most. Another must-have during your hike is insect repellent. Saw yer's Picaridin and Permethrin Insect Repellent will protect you and your loved ones from mosquitos that may carry Zika, West Nile Virus, Dengue, Chikungunya as well as ticks that you might encounter on your hike. If you're going on longer hikes or camping, and you would like to protect your gear—tent, sleeping bags, camping chair—then the Permethrin is the best choice, given that its targeted to protect your clothing and gear. This Father's Day make sure Dad has everything he needs for his next hike. For more information, visit: www.sawyer.com
