The Best Backpacking Water Treatment
Our filtration gurus have bought and tested 23 of the best water filters and treatment systems designed for backpacking. We brought these filters along on various adventures, from climbing trips in Peru to running expeditions across the USA to fastpacking adventures in Iceland. We evaluated portability and ease of maintenance in the field while also investigating critical aspects such as what each model removes from the water and how long it takes to process one potable liter of water.
For a party of one, the Sawyer Squeeze is a perfect companion. This fast and light filtration system produces some of the highest quality water in our testing. However, if you're out with a group of friends, you're going to need something with a little more volume. In this case, the Platypus GravityWorks is a great option with a 4-liter capacity and a relatively fast filter rate.
