Why it’s the best:
| Capability | MSR Guardian filters water sources no other purifier (or filter) can. |
| Longevity |
Purifies 2641+ gallons of water before needing filter replacement. |
| Effectiveness | This is a “purifier” (i.e., removes viruses, bacteria, and protozoans). This makes it effective worldwide, for the worst sources (whereas a “filter” leaves you susceptible to viruses/bacteria/protozoans). |
