MSR
Mountain Safety Research — stoves and water treatment built for expedition conditions first, backyard camping second.
MSR (Mountain Safety Research) has designed backcountry cooking and water-treatment gear since 1969, and the expedition pedigree still shows: liquid-fuel stoves that run in subzero cold, purifiers rated for international travel, and a reputation built on gear that works when nothing else will.
Our take
Buy MSR for the conditions ordinary gear fails in — deep cold, silty water, high altitude — and something lighter for everything else.
