Water filtration you can trust, wherever the trail takes you

Clean drinking water is one thing you can't afford to get wrong on the trail. Whether you're topping up from a stream on a day hike or filtering water for a group over several days, having the right water filtration system makes all the difference between a quick refill and a genuine hassle.

If you're after speed and simplicity, our pump and gravity filters cover everything from solo hikers to larger groups, including options like the MSR Guardian and LifeStraw Peak gravity systems that let you filter litres of water while you set up camp. For lighter, more packable setups, our squeeze filters such as the Sawyer Squeeze and Katadyn BeFree are built to disappear into your kit without adding noticeable weight, and can be adapted to gravity feed with a Nalgene Cantene when you'd rather sit back and let it work on its own. If you'd prefer an all-in-one solution, our range of purifier bottles, including the Grayl GeoPress, filter and purify water in a single squeeze, ready to drink straight from the bottle.

It's also worth understanding the difference between filtration and purification before you buy, particularly if you're travelling somewhere with a higher risk of viruses in the water supply — our water purification tablets, powders and drops collection covers backup options worth carrying regardless of which system you choose. And once you've settled on a filter, pairing it with the right water bottles or soft bladders and reservoirs rounds out a hydration setup you can rely on for any trip.
