Not all backpacking water filters are built to be used easily. The Katadyn Hiker Microfilter Water Filter has an 11-ounce capacity and is easy to use, especially since you don't need to worry about backflushing. It comes with a prefilter and easy carrying bag, and since it's quite light, it's easy to fit in your backpack while on long hikes. Depending on the water quality, it can filter approximately 200 gallons.

Not all quality equipment needs to come at a premium price. The Lifestraw offers up an easy way to filter your water and let you drink right from the stream you've found. Each one is capable of filtering up to 1000 gallons. You can snag them one at a time, or pick up as many as five at a time. Weighing only 2oz, it filters out bacteria and parasites while filtering to 0.2 microns.

If you're traveling light and want a water filter that will give you the cleanest water possible, the Survivor Filter Pro features triple filtering technology. It's been tested and can filter out 99.99% of bacteria, parasites, and heavy metals thanks to the .01 micron filter. Thanks to the pump mechanism, it has a fast flow rate of 17 ounces per minute, making it excellent for group water filtration. It's also made of ABS plastic, so it's hardy even in less than ideal weather and comes with a carrying bag to keep it secure when not in use.

Once you've made camp and you have time to sit down and filter water for the rest of the night, you want something you can trust. Sawyer products have a gravity water filtration system that's perfect for these circumstances. They feature 0.1 micron filtering and have a capacity of 1 gallon. They also include a dual threaded mini so you can fill the bladder and then move it, so that you can use water for refilling bottles or cooking, with some peace of mind.
