Description
xThe LifeStraw Sip is a slim, reusable stainless-steel drinking straw with an advanced filter that removes microplastics, bacteria, and parasites for cleaner sipping on the go.
Designed for travelers, commuters, and anyone who wants a lower-waste way to drink from taps, bottles, and public water sources, the LifeStraw Sip combines a high-flow microfilter with a durable stainless-steel body and a soft silicone mouthpiece. At just 10 inches long and 3 ounces in weight, it fits into the included leak-proof carry case for easy transport in a bag, purse, or luggage.
