SteriPEN handheld UV water purifiers are ideal for military use; fast, light, easy and most importantly, effective. The ultraviolet light destroys microbes in water that could make you sick and because they use UV light there is none of that odd taste associated with chemical treatments meaning you are more likely to stay hydrated. SteriPEN is effective against bacteria, viruses, and protozoa such as giardia and cryptosporidium.
SteriPEN is a leading brand for water purification in the Outdoor Market and they’ve developed a model, the SteriPEN Defender, specifically for the military. It’s Made in the USA and can purify 32 oz (1L) in 90 seconds or 1-16 oz in 48 seconds. SteriPEN water purifiers are designed for Soldiers to collect water, keep moving, and purify at a safe location.
