| Steripen Adventurer Opti Hand held Water Purifier |
 |
The Adventurer Opti is half the size of the SteriPEN Classic. Because it's fast, light (under 105g/4 oz), easy and effective, it's perfect for hikers and campers who value powerful products in small packages with no loss of effectiveness.
The new optical sensor doubles as a convenient LED flashlight. It’s a great backup light when camping or taking a night-time walk to refill your water bottle. The Flashlight mode is activated by pressing and holding the single button down for 3 seconds. The clear lamp cover focuses the LED light.
The Adventurer Opti retail package includes 2 non-rechargeable (disposable) CR123 batteries and a neoprene case with belt loop. Device works with containers with minimum 1.75 in. diameter opening (ie Nalgene wide-mouth bottles).
Purify 0.5 litres in 48 seconds or 1 litre in 90 seconds!
"Easy and quick to use, far simpler than any filter. I presume it worked as I didn't get sick even though some of the water was badly polluted. The Adventurer Opti also has a small LED light in one end, which was useful when I needed to change headlamp batteries in the dark." - Chris Townsend, TGO February 2011.
