We’ve tried almost every kind of camping gas out there, and MSR’s IsoPro canisters have proven themselves to be our favourite fuel for backpacking and wild camping adventures. Why? Because unlike cheaper blends, IsoPro uses a premium 80/20 mix of isobutane and propane, which delivers optimum performance over a wide range of conditions, even in colder temperatures or as the canister empties. Plus they come in three different sizes, ensuring there’s an option for every trip, from quick ‘fast and light’ overnighters to extended backpacking expeditions.

A staple of multiple expeditions for more than 50 years, MSR gear is trusted by climbers, mountaineers, explorers and researchers in some of the highest and coldest places on earth. The brand has earned an enviable reputation for turning out reliable, durable, high-performance kit – and has come a long way since its founding by Seattle engineer and lifelong mountaineer Larry Penberthy in 1969. Back then, MSR – or Mountain Safety Research, to use its full moniker – was solely focused on improving the safety of climbing equipment. Why? Because Larry knew that better equipment meant greater adventures.
Since then, the product range has grown hugely, but the core ethos remains the same. That’s why MSR gear is characterised by its user-led design that prioritises functionality, simplicity and reliability, wherever you roam in the great outdoors – whether you’re on a weekend camping trip, or perched on a portaledge 2,000ft up one of the world’s big walls.
