Sawyer Squeeze vs. Platypus QuickDraw: A Detailed Comparison

The Platypus QuickDraw is the newest direct competitor to the Sawyer Squeeze - a water filter staple among backpackers and thru-hikers. They have a lot in common and may seem like carbon copies of one another at first glance. However, if you're someone who has spent as much time around lightweight
