The filter often requires you to squeeze the bags to get the water through. So the risk of accidentally popping one during filtration is quite high.Using the same universal 28mm thread as the Vecto, the Vesica can be used as a dirty water bottle for filters like Sawyer or HydroBlu.

The Hydrapak Seeker water bags are just so much better than any other dirty bags I’ve every tried. The rubberized material is super durable while still being light, and these bags in general are just way easier/more comfortable to use as squeeze bags for dirty water. Additionally, the 42mm openings are a great size: big enough to easily pour water into with a water scoop, but compact enough to not be ungainly to deal with. If you want to use the Vecto as part of a gravity filter setup (and trust me, you do) the sliding plastic clamp makes it easy to attach a loop of cord for hanging. Instead of sitting there squeezing water from a pouch, you can simply hang the Vecto from a tree branch (or doorknob, bike handlebars, hiking pole tripod, etc) and let gravity do the work.

I’ve never noticed it with this bag, even when new and when used to store water overnight. Reply Nevertheless, I had a few worthless (read: old and slow) BeFree filters around that were just collecting dust, and so I started experimenting. And by experimenting I mean that I started beating on the the BeFree hollow fiber filtering element with a screwdriver and a hammer. Also, the alternate idea of keeping a Sawyer Squeeze permanently attached to the bottom of a CNOC bag as you full it up with dirty water from the zip side seems like a perfect scenario for dripping dirty water onto the outlet mouthpiece of the Squeeze. That’s a recipe made in heaven for contamination. Yes, you can just screw the filter over a thin cloth like a bandana, buff, or piece of nylon pantyhose (if you happen to have any of those around). If it’s thin enough, it will fit between the threads. Reply

Also, the Flux does look more durable, but it is also 2-3x heavier per unit of volume held. More importantly for me though is the fact that it’s only holds 1 liter. That’s a real deal breaker, since filling the water bag and screwing on the filtering system to it is one of the major pains when filtering. I try to minimize the amount of times I have to fill the dirty water bag at each water source, and the Flux would definitely not align with this mindset. Nice to know it exists though!
