If you’ve spent any amount of time camping, hiking, biking, or otherwise roaming in the outdoors, then you know that there is a seemingly endless variety of water filters and tablets available to help access clean drinking water. The problem remains, however, that most of these options are either clunky, time-consuming, or inefficient; three things that can be a headache in the backwoods. MSR Gear has created a pocket-sized solution with its new TrailShot water filter and we may never look back.

Ultra Lightweight

Whether you’re on a day hike or a thru hike, the smaller and lighter your gear is, the better. The 5oz. TrailShot fits easily and comfortably in any pocket, giving you the power of clean water wherever you go. At about the size of an energy bar, and undoubtedly more crucial, you’ll definitely have room for both.

Easy-to-Use

Is there anything more frustrating (or panic inducing) than fumbling around with water filters, with multiple components, only to be partially sure that you are using it correctly? The TrailShot takes the guesswork out of safe, backcountry hydration. Simply dip the straw into any water source along the trail and squeeze the hand pump to filter up to a litre per minute into your water bottle or directly into your mouth!

Long-Lasting, Affective & Affordable

Nothing is as priceless as clean water, and with the TrailShot, you’re able to stay hydrated from even the murkiest sources for only $49.95. The water filter’s hollow-fiber technology removes more than 99.9% of bacteria, protozoa and particulates including giardia and cryptosporidium.

Easy to clean with just a few shakes of the device, the TrailShot will last for up to 2,000 litres; equipping you for many more miles of adventure.

The TrailShot by MSR Gear is available now on Amazon.
