I Tried 8 Hiking Water Filters From REI.. Here's My Honest Review and Comparison

What to study

Curiosity Gap

Hikers shopping for a filter will recognise most of this lineup, from LifeStraw to Sawyer to Grayl. 'THE BEST?' says one wins without saying which, and Taylor filling up at a real stream says they were tested in the field.

How the packaging works
Title

'From REI' tells hikers these are filters they can buy at a store they know, and 'Honest Review' promises a verdict rather than a sales pitch.

Lining up the real products across the bottom lets buyers find the ones they're weighing, and the white glow around each cut-out keeps them distinct against the busy forest floor.

Remix this

When your audience is choosing between products they already know, show every contender clearly by shape and brand, and ask which is best without answering. Film yourself using them in the real setting to show you tested properly.
