10 Best Backpacking Water Filters

What are the best water filter and water purification treatment systems used by backpackers? That really depends on your preferences, the quality of the water you need to filter or purify, and the number of people you need to treat water for. For example, squeeze-style water filters, UV purification, and filter bottles tend to be good for solo users and clear water sources, while chemical purification and pump filters/purifiers are good for larger groups and riskier for murkier water sources. Cost and filter longevity are also worth considering.

Here are the 10 best backpacking water filters and water purification systems we recommend for backpacking, hiking, and camping in 2021.

Philip Werner se yon otè plen tan deyò ak sakado ki abite nan New England. Sit entènèt li SectionHiker.com klase kòm # 1 Hiking ak Sackpacking Blog sou entènèt la pa AdventureJunkies.com nan 2018, 2019, 2020, ak 2021.

Non an nan sit sa a, Seksyon Hiker, refere a Long Trail la ki mwen seksyon monte nan 2008 ak Trail la Applachian ke mwen toujou ap travay nan. Pou dat, mwen te konplete 1400 kilomèt nan AT a ak espwa pou konplete tout seksyon yo ant Georgia ak Maine yon jou. Mwen te tou monte ruth-monte defi tGO a (Kòt-kòt atravè Scotland) de fwa e mwen kounye a seksyon monte tras kapèt la, tou nan Scotland.
