Having a way to get safe drinking water is a must for any emergency kit or serious hiking trip, and personal filter straws are a pretty popular solution. While LifeStraw tends to dominate the conversation (it's always a top-seller during Prime Day), there are other, often much cheaper, options out there if you're looking to stock up without spending a ton.
As of Oct. 27, the NatureNova Personal Water Filter Straw (1 Pack) is on sale for $10.38, down from a typical price of $12.99, at Amazon. That's a 20% discount and $2.61 in savings.
For just over $10, this NatureNova straw uses a four-stage filtration system (including hollow fiber membrane, activated carbon, and PP cotton) that claims to remove 99.999999% of tiny contaminants down to 0.01 microns. According to the product page, each straw can filter up to 1,500 liters (or 396 gallons) of water, which is a pretty standard lifespan for these types of filters.
It's designed to be super portable and weighs less than 3.5 ounces, so it's easy to stash in a bag. It also comes with a few handy accessories you don't always get with budget straws: an extension tube so you don't have to get quite so close to the water source, and a backwash syringe to help clear out the filter and potentially extend its life. You can also screw it onto standard water bottles.
