They are incredibly useful and helpful to have around especially for hiking/backpacking as well as traveling. I have used them on multi day hikes and traveling overseas...often I just use them to drink sink water if i'm really desperate when I'm away from home.
However, know that they are incredibly slow at filtering (sawyer as well). Don't expect to be filling up liters worth of water with these pressure filters. Just got back from an overnight hike and we had 4 of these among our group and we basically just gave up since using a UV filter was WAY faster. Ended up treating 10 liters of water for the whole group with a steripen in about 15 minutes. Maybe we got 1 L total from the pressure filters during that time. All this to say, think of these more as an emergency type device and don't rely on it for regular water intake on your trip
There is no shelf life for our unused LifeStraw.

For those wondering Lifestraw filters dont remove viruses so its not the best if you are traveling in third world countries but it should be fine if you are in US.
Used them during Reflection Canyon hike where water puddles are rare to find and usually a little moldy. Was desperate for water but didnt get sick after. You can fill up a wide mouthed bottle and use these filters to sip from it.
