Sawyer Now Offers Its Award-Winning System in a Blue Colorway

— March 17, 2026 — Eco
Sawyer has introduced a blue color variant of the CNOC two-liter bladder as part of its award-winning Squeeze Water Filtration System. This effectively expands the popular collaboration between the two brands to offer consumers additional personalization options for their backcountry hydration setup.

At its core, the Squeeze Water Filtration System pairs the durable, lightweight Sawyer Squeeze filter with a wide-mouth collapsible bladder made from extra-durable, BPA-free TPU. The filter itself is rated to remove 99.99999% of harmful bacteria, protozoa, cysts, and sediment, as well as one hundred percent of microplastics. The system has a lifespan of 100,000 gallons and weighs less than six ounces.

Each unit undergoes individual testing three times to ensure performance standards are met, and the system includes a cleaning coupling and plunger for ongoing maintenance in the field.
