FUNDANGO Xpor Portable Dry Bag and Outdoor Hydration Pack, Gravity Water Filter,Waterproof Backpack Bladder Bag Water Purification System with 1 Shower for Traveling, Camping, Outdoors and Adventures

Update: The Team from Xpor saw my review and sent me a new filter before I even had time to contact them!!! That was astounding customer service! I would definitely recommend their Hydration Pack for your camping needs.I purchased the system last week for a hiking trip over the weekend. When my group learned that I took on a lot of extra weight to bring this along on a backpacking trip, I was made fun of since everyone had their own filters. By the end of the weekend, everyone loved the pack and were very happy I chose to bring it along. It made so many camp activities so much faster and easier. Filling bladders to hike, or pots to cook, was easy and efficient. The straps made it easy to carry back a lot of water in one trip. I will likely leave the shower attachment at home next time since it is extra weight for backpacking and isn't needed.So if it was so great, why not five stars. Well, the filter had a leak on the back section where the round part fastened into the cylinder. It was a very slow leak that we noticed as soon as we started water through the system. We could not tighten it or stop it. We were able to still use the filter by keeping it at an angle and so the water leaking didn't drip into the clean water and we keep the filter hanging in a manner to reduce the leak and possible contamination. We eventually added a piece of tape to help slow it down as well. I need to contact Xpor and request a replacement filter. When I have done that, I will update the review based on their handling of the situation.

Convenient and Sturdy. I used this system on a 14 day trip in the Alaska bush. We would fill up the bladder each night and have a fresh batch of drinking water ready every morning. The bag is very sturdy and well made, the handles are well placed and overall I was pleasantly surprised. There are only two items that kept me from giving this a 5 star. First inside the bag there is an additional lining that acts as a back-flow preventer when you are filling the bag, great in theory, but if you fill the bag past the lining level it traps air and makes a mess trying to get the top closed. Secondly the filter slowed down fast! We would raft out from shore 60 yds and try to get the cleanest water possible but, the filter slowed to the point that it was literally one drip at a time. If you needed water in a hurry this is not your solution. Hanging the bag overnight worked every time, but even back flushing the filter it was still very slow. Overall a great product.

I've used hand pump water filters in the past on week long trips and it gets old hand pumping water for an hour ever day for the group. This system makes it so much easier. All of the components as well as a few other items fit in the bag when you aren't filtering water. On our boundary waters canoe trip this year, we simply filled the bag with lake water right before setting up camp and hung it in a tree to start filtering water into a separate container. It worked great all trip. I did back flush the filter a couple times during the trip which is to be expected.

Love the design but the plastic is a little thin. I purchased a life straw to go with this to make sure the water gets filtered properly although it does come with a filter. As a back pack it sucks....but it is amazing for gravity filter for water so much easier than having to hand pump. This set up let’s you do other things as your water is getting filtered...wish they plastic was thicker but overall I like it and would purchase again

This was awesome. The backpack option is invaluable in situations where you need to hike for water as we did. It is sturdy and easy to use. It can also be used as a dry bag for carrying stuff into a site and then use it for water! The filter is slow to fill, as all filters are, but we hung it so the hose dangled down and gravity fed into our bottles. Full/Half Full we could get a liter in about 2 minutes. Don't lose the cap on the filter! I also liked that it came with a purge system for our return. I flushed the filter and the bag and it awaits my next deep woods trip where water needs to be retrieved.

Don't want to be over zealous with a five star because I haven't used it yet, but it showed up in a timely fashion,look and feels like it will do the job as described. Also recommend the old "Two is One,One is none" for filters and hoses.

Super easy to use, clean and transport. We were able to have clean water from a lake during the week long camping trip without having to bring water in with us. We are extremely happy with our purchase.

Not yet field tested, but tested at home upon delivery. Everything seems better quality than I was expecting. Only drawback is overall size, if using for backpacking, but the item description accurately reflects item size.
