The lifestraws I bought are good for 264 gallons and filter down to 0.2 microns
Not sure if the lifestraw family 1.0 uses a different type of filter material

Anyone have any experience with these? It will be for a home/vehicle kit so I'm not worried about size/weight.

Yes I realize that the lifestraw family filters to a greater degree, but would you really need that level or would the First Need be sufficient?
