Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L Moss Green
0.1 micrometres – microplastics included
Mountain lakes and springs look clean – you cannot see microplastics in them. The 0.1 µm membrane retains them, along with bacteria and protozoa.
Buy the Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L Moss Green – filtered in two stages
The Katadyn BeFree AC Bottle 0.7L in moss green is a rigid drinking bottle with an integrated water filter for day trips, hunting, wildlife watching and travel. The EZ-Clean Membrane with its 0.1 µm pore size retains bacteria, protozoa, sediment and microplastics; the activated carbon downstream reduces chlorine along with taste and odour compounds. The muted moss green blends into natural surroundings without standing out – and at 75 millimetres outer diameter the dimensionally stable bottle fits common bike bottle cages.
What the membrane retains – and what it does not
The figure that decides what the filter is good for
With water filters, pore size is not a marketing claim but the limit of the effect. 0.1 µm equals 0.0001 millimetres. Bacteria such as E. coli measure roughly 0.5 to 2 µm, protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium 4 to 15 µm – both are reliably retained by a 0.1 µm membrane, as are sediment and microplastic particles. Viruses, by contrast, are partly smaller than the pores at roughly 0.02 to 0.3 µm and pass through. That is why the BeFree filter is designed for streams, lakes and springs in Europe and North America, where waterborne viruses play no relevant role – in regions with that risk, chemical disinfection or UV treatment belongs alongside it.
Moss green – the muted variant
Moss green is the AC Bottle colour that stands out least in the field. For hunting, wildlife watching and nature photography that is not an aesthetic detail but practically relevant: in a hide or a camouflage tent a brightly coloured bottle disturbs the field of view, and a patch of colour that moves is visible from far away. If instead you want a bottle that is easy to find again in a pack or in camp, the misty red variant serves you better.
When the water is turbid – pre-filtering saves service life
The bottle is designed for clear to slightly turbid water. Suspended solids clog the hollow fibres, and whatever settles there costs flow. With visibly turbid water a simple intermediate step therefore pays off: fill the water into a container, let it stand for a few minutes and skim off only the clear upper part. Alternatively, stretch a piece of cloth or a bandana over the bottle opening. Either takes two minutes and noticeably extends the membrane’s life.
Cleaning and drying – the two steps after a trip
To clean, hold the filter in clean water and shake it – the deposited particles come off the hollow fibres and the flow is back. Drying matters just as much: a hollow fibre filter sealed away damp encourages microbial growth inside. Take the filter out after use and let bottle and filter dry openly before stowing both. The bottle itself can be rinsed normally – just not with the filter in the dishwasher.

Which colour – and when another format fits better
Technically smoke, misty red, moss green and slate blue are identical; the choice is a question of use. Moss green is the muted variant for natural surroundings, misty red the most visible for anyone who often puts their bottle down somewhere. Either way: if you want the empty bottle to disappear into your pack, a BeFree AC soft flask that rolls up serves you better. And if you fill several bottles at once in camp, choose a BeFree Gravity.
