Illness can ruin your trip.

Water purifiers are not just for backpacking. In fact, one may save your trip overseas. The primary cause of illness to travelers, whether a one-week jaunt or an extended Walkabout, is gastrointestinal distress. Even what seemed the safest trip can be ruined by illness. Usually it's the water. Moreover, countries with "safe" water supplies can contain unfamiliar bacteria that cause diarrhea. And don't rely on "bottled water" -- you have no way to know its purity. The SteriPEN is the only portable water purifier that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to destroy waterborne microbes. Requires four AA batteries. Weight: 3.7 oz. without batteries. (6.5 - 8 oz. with batteries, depending on type) Dimensions: 7.6" (L) X 1.5" (W) X 1.5" (H)

Fold-A-Cup

Finally. A collapsible travel cup that doesn't leak.

If you've tried those telescoping cups, you know they leak. Our Fold-A-Cup is the solution; it's a tough, crush-proof cup made of flexible plastic with no seems -- thus no leaks. Pops up to hold 7 ounces yet collapses to a 1 inch folded position. With handle. 1 oz.

Get rid of those hard, inflexible water bottles.

Platypus water containers are collapsible, durable (lifetime manufacturer's warranty), and inexpensive. They won't flavor your water with a plastic taste, and are so tough they can be frozen or boiled. (Sterilize your drinking water right in the bottle!) Platypus hydration products are 100% BPA-free.
