The Best Water Filters and Purifiers for Backpacking of 2020 from Treeline Review
WE RESEARCHED THE BEST WATER FILTERS AND AGGREGATED THAT DATA. HERE'S OUR FINDINGS.
After checking dozens of review sites and hundreds of customer reviews - and considering our own experiences - we put together a list of stand-out water filters for backpacking. If you’re hiking solo or on a trip where each person takes care of their own water, we think the Sawyer Squeeze has the speed-to-weight ratio that works best for most folks. Got a group to care for? We like the Platypus GravityWorks, which can filter four liters in four minutes with minimal fuss. For removing viruses, the upgrade-pick MSR Guardian filters out viruses and cleans itself with the press of a hand-pump.
