In 1969, engineer and mountaineer Larry Penberthy founded MSR in Seattle, USA. Over the years, MSR has been known for its high-tech and high-safety products, covering everything from stoves, tents, and snowboards to water purifiers and quick-drying towels. Among them, MSR is most famous for its outdoor stoves and water purifiers.
With the exception of the Rapid Fire series, all MSR stoves can use more than one fuel, and the XGK series is compatible with a wide range of liquid fuels, which makes MSR outdoor stoves more user-friendly than other products on the market. The fuel tank and burner head are separated, which reduces the height of the furnace and reduces the chance of the pot tipping. In addition, MSR stoves use a modular structure, so that the parts of the furnace body are easy to disassemble and reassemble, making it easy to maintain.
In the harsh outdoor environment of high altitude and low temperatures, it is not easy to get a hot drink quickly. Since its launch in 2007, the MSR reactor stove system has become not only the most well-known product of MSR, but also the king of outdoor stoves with its three major technologies: radiant burner, heat exchanger and pressure regulator, which has achieved super firepower, extreme wind resistance, fast boiling water in outdoor air-cooled environment, and fuel saving. It is important to note that the reactor stove can only boil water and must use matching pots.
The reactor stove system won the BACKPACKER Magazine Editor's Choice Gold Award for its stable and excellent performance, and it is divided into three sizes: 1.0/1.7/2.5L, and each component is independent and detachable, and the price is between 220-260 US dollars.
The Fengshen Stove System is another benchmark after the Reactor Stove System, which MSR defines as the "ultimate Stove System", continuing the characteristics of the reactor stove. It is not only a boiling water stove, but also has stronger cooking performance, using a split stove, can be matched with a variety of sizes of pots and pans to meet different travel people and a variety of cooking needs, if you want to buy a complete set of systems, the price is about 3000 yuan.
Another well-known product of MSR is the outdoor water purifier. Over the years, MSR has not only continued to develop water treatment technologies, but also provided water purification solutions for disaster relief departments and water-poor areas in Africa. Its water purifier set Trail Base Filter is a modular gravity water filtration system, which can drink water directly from the water source, easy to pour, and can cope with the team's outdoor rapid drinking water needs, with a domestic price of 1798 yuan. MiniWorks EX is a mini pump water purifier with a longer filter life, but it needs to pump water manually, which is suitable for small hiking groups of about 2 people.
