KATADYN

BEFREE GRAVITY FILTER

Clean drinking water without pumping

Treating water in the backcountry is usually a time-consuming task—unless you use a gravity filter, which, once assembled, does most of the work for you. With the Katadyn Base Camp Pro estragon designed a family of gravity filters that are simple to use and speedy. And they have the capacity to quickly treat water for a larger group or a family. There aren’t many parts to spend a lot of time assembling the filter: Screw the filter unit onto the valve cap, fill the bag with water, then screw the cap onto the reservoir bag, and hang the bag from a branch (there’s a convenient strap on the bag) and it begins rapidly making potable water for you.
This philosophy of an easy to use product was the red thread throughout the entire design process. And that means looking at the graphic design work as well as the haptic three-dimensional work.
