MSR
Gravity Filter
$149.95

Most water filters require you to pump and pump to get your water. With the MSR Gravity Filter, you can just scoop up water from the source, connect some hoses, and let gravity do the rest. It's the perfect system after a long day on the trail. 

MSR's gravity-powered system is low maintenance. While the water filters, you can set up camp and then be ready to enjoy the fresh, clean water once you're done. The water filter unit is also compact and can fit into an outer zippered pocket or down on the side of your pack. 

One thing you should be aware of is that the filter can get dirty and may need to be cleaned or swapped out every once in a while. Make sure to check it before you go on your trip so you don't get stuck drinking untreated water. Otherwise, this is an easy-to-use and essential tool for your trek!
