A simple knot-free suspension system for gravity filters.
Igneous Gear says:
Setting up a gravity filter usually means tying a knot in cold or dark conditions, then untying it the next morning. The Hang System gets rid of the knot. A PA12 cleat clamps onto 1 yard of 1.8 mm reflective nylon cord: loop the cord around a branch, feed the tag end through the cleat, and the line locks under load. One hand, no knots. Designed around the workflow of a gravity water setup: clip the cord onto your dirty water bladder (Cnoc Vecto, Platypus, Evernew), which feeds your filter, which feeds your bottle. Total system under 10 g, rated to about 45 lb. The same 1.8 mm cord is sold by the spool as Reflective Cord; the Carbon Fiber Spool keeps spares organized.
Our Verdict
The Igneous Gear Hang System makes setting up a gravity water filter quicker. Loop the reflective cord around a branch, feed it through the cleat and it locks under load without requiring a knot.
At 7g, it is a very small addition to a filtration setup, while the 0.91m cord gives enough length for suspending. The system is rated to around 20kg, far more than required for a full water bag....unless its a 20l water bladder.
The one-handed adjustment makes it easier to alter the hanging height or remove the system without struggling to undo a tightened knot.
