People Love Us

I first learned about SteriPEN when leading an expedition of Brown University researchers up Mt. Everest in 2002. I was really impressed with how fast and light the SteriPEN is.

It took me just over 5 months to make it from Georgia to Maine and I used the Steripen every day during that time. What a fabulous invention! I LOVED the ease of it and how I was able to drink the water immediately.

~Sharon "Lollygagger" Mammoser, NY More > 

The SteriPEN is the most amazing piece of tramping equipment I have purchased. Having recently been to Indonesia on mission trip, I realised the importance of safe drinking water.

There are times in this world when a new product comes along that changes your life. The SteriPEN is such a product. What first enticed me was the weight and size - just mere ounces and about the size of three pens.

~Alison Gannett - World Extreme Freeskiing Champion More > 

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product to anyone traveling to any location where potable water access is a consideration. Not one of us became sick in a month of travel through Cambodia.

~Dan Morris, Photographer More > 

I wanted to thank you for making such a wonderful product. I just got back from South America where I backpacked from the southern tip of the Patagonia Andes all the way up through Bolivia and into Peru. The SteriPEN worked without fail even on the most questionable of water (which is found in Bolivia).

I'm pleased to report that everyone - all six of us - on BACKPACKER Magazine's Team-TarpMan had good experience with the SteriPENs we used several times each day while we were hiking the Continental Divide Trail in the Wind River Range of Wyoming.

Being 400 miles into the wilderness offered many challenges, one of which was having safe drinking water, and your "classic" SteriPen was what we relied on. This instrument performed flawlessly. It was dependable, compact and very easy to use.

~A. Groh, Ellsworth, Maine More > 

In the mountains you could actually drink the water right out of the streams. However, once we dropped down from altitude we were in locations where there were no villages or bottled water so we had to rely on our SteriPENs for purifying all water.

~Julian Monroe Fisher, FRGS Stanley Expedition in Uganda More > 

“During my climb of Kilimanjaro the rest of my party used traditional pumps and filters. Needless to say one by one they all asked to use the SteriPEN™.”

~ Richard Wiese, President, The Explorers Club, NYC More > 

"Dear Miles, We backpacked the entire length of the AT - all 2172.6 miles through 14 states in 188 days AND used our Steri-PEN the entire way. We loved it!

~ Splash & Cobra More > 

I am very grateful that you have developed a product that is so lightweight, convenient, and simple to use. I will continue to use SteriPEN whenever I travel, and will recommend it to all of my colleagues and friends.

~Catherine Yi-Yu Cho Woo, Ph.D. More > 

The SteriPEN ensures safe drinking while conserving other resources. It's the perfect mountaineer's companion.

~ Michelle Gregory, Professor, Brown University 2002 Everest Expedition More > 

One use of your product that was not in your brochure was to purify hotel drinking water.

~ Richard Wiese, President, The Explorers Club, NYC More > 

I found the SteriPEN's speed and efficiency welcome, especially when purifying several bottles at a time.

~ Dennis Lewon, Backpacker Magazine More > 

I have used the SteriPEN a lot while travelling in South America, South East Asia, and lately in Egypt.

~ Bill B, Bergen, Holland More > 

I remained in camp the next day, and had I not had my SteriPEN, it would have been absolutely impossible for me to treat any water.

~ Leon N., California More > 

One of the things that I like best about the SteriPEN is that it means one can walk into a hotel room in a 3rd world country and immediately sterilize the water from the lavatory faucet rather than having to go find a source of bottled water.

~Gay H., Dhahran, Saudi Arabia More > 

The SteriPEN exceeded all my expectations on my recent climbing expedition to Mt Barunste in Nepal (23,500 ft).

~ Brian M., Alberta, Canada More > 

"No one should go TDY (temporary duty assignment) without it."

~ Ariel W., U.S. Army Logistics Operations Center, Springfield, VA More > 

Just got back from Argentina and our climb of Mt Aconcagua. the SteriPEN worked GREAT.

~Collin K., Colorado More > 

The water appeared clear and we rejoiced knowing that dehydration had been averted and that the SteriPEN would have no difficulty in eliminating anything potentially harmful.

~ Patrick M. and Emily H., Vancouver, Canada More > 

We use it every day for all our drinking water-that amounts to a minimum of 8 uses at 16 oz. of water each use for 1 gallon/day.

~ Bethany B., Oregon More > 

"I used my SteriPEN on a two-week hiking trip in Glacier National Park, and then on a trip to the Costa Rican jungles. It's light, quick to use and reassuring."

~ Blaise D., Maine, USA More > 

"This is truly an amazing product. Its technology, effectiveness, and convenience are impressive."

~Bob E., Charlottesville, VA More > 

I treated and imbibed water from streams, creeks, springs, trickles, puddles, and ponds. Well, I'm still here!

~ Jeff F., Boulder, CO More > 

Mixing formula was much easier with a quick and ready supply of purified water.

~ Sheryl W., Louisville, KY More >
