The Best Backpacking Water Filters for 2024
Our filtration gurus have bought and tested 44 of the best backpacking water filters over the last 12 years. This updated review covers 23 filters and treatment systems. We tested these filters extensively on various adventures, from climbing trips in Peru to running expeditions across the USA to fastpacking adventures in Iceland. We evaluate 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. We confidently offer backcountry travelers our insights and recommendations based on our comprehensive field and objective in-house testing.
Having the best backpacking gear makes all the difference in the backcountry. If you're in the market for a new backpacking backpack or backpacking stove, we have recommendations for your specific needs and budget.
