LifeStraw
Drink anywhere safely
LifeStraw is a brand of portable water filtration devices, most famously a straw-shaped filter that lets users drink directly from contaminated water sources.
The personal filter removes bacteria and parasites, making it popular with hikers, travelers, and disaster relief organizations: I packed a LifeStraw for the backcountry trip.
The name has become somewhat generic for similar filtration straws.
