I've tried the others, and they all come up short. These are simply the greatest water bottle on the planet. My family has used these for over a decade now, and we adore them. Nothing else comes close. Buy a splashguard, and a good backpacking filter, and you're set.

I use mine everyday in an industrial setting. I fill it, I drain it. No taste issues if you don't leave water sitting in it. The only cons for this bottle, it shows dirt, and if you forget it in the freezer full it will bulge the bottom leaving you with the toughest Weeble bottle ever. Buy the Guyot Splashguard cap. it makes it much more civilized.

Classic Nalgene water bottles. I just bought two new bottles for a 4-day hike. With some 1/2" Webbing and duct tape I added some "handles" to the side to lash to my pack. As always, great product.

This bottle has lasted me over 4 years and is still strong! I have dropped it many times and it still has zero leaks. Nalgene has made there wide mouth bottles a outdoor standard by being very compatible to many water filters.

Great product. I have this and 2 lexan ones. I use the lexan ones for flavored things because this model now smells like grape powerade. I have to look up a few more ways to clean it. For plain water it works great and I use it when I plan on getting dirty because its not pretty like the lexan ones. (I use those for everyday use) I would suggest an insulator, because it does sweat a lot and in my opinion isnt great at staying cool.(it is only plastic though!) I use the neoprene one for now and am working on gettin the OR bottle parka. Cant go wrong with one of these Nalgene's!

Comments:

I bought two of these bottles three days ago, and when I got home I filled them with a very weak, dilute solution of water and Simple Green. The intent, of course, was to be certain that the bottles' interior was clear of any residue or anything else that may have lingered from manufacturing. I shook them vigorously, and then over the next couple of days I poured out the contents during the course of washing dishes and a cast iron skillet. As the two bottles emptied, I rinsed them several times, and then filled them with filtered water and put them in the trunk of the car. I used one bottle this morning at the gym, and it tasted strongly of Simple Green and smelled strongly. I threw out most of the water, brought the bottle home and washed it again with very hot water, and put it on the sink with the cap open. The bottle literally STINKS of Simple Green, and I'm very discouraged with this purchase. I have a half dozen lexan bottles that I've used for years, washing them with Simple Green and a bottle brush. The lexan bottles are truly indestructable, but some of the plastic caps have begun leaking, and this is a problem when they fall over in the trunk and an ounce or two leaks out before I catch it. The lexan bottles retain absolutely no hint of Simple Green, but the writeups on these Nalgene bottles were so glowing that I thought it might be time to start buying replacements. I really regret buying these, and if the bottle now open & empty on the sink doesn't lose the smell by tomorrow, then these are going back to REI. At the moment, I cannot at all recommend them, but if the condition clears up, I'll amend this writeup. Ralph L. Seifer, Long Beach, California.

Comments:

If I told you how long I've been using these, you would start calling me Methusula! To begin with, the properties of polyproylene compounds is such, that with rare exception, this bottle is indestructible. I've never had one let me down yet. I dropped one in Angeles Crest Forest - into a portero, known as Strawberry Portero. I was above the portrero at a peak known as strawberry peak. The hike was a Winter trek, and I didn't get it back until the Summer. Since that Winter, the snow was deep down below in the protero, and especially so at the foot of the face of the precipice. When I went looking for the nalgene bottle, there it lay, water and all. I emptied the water, washed the bottle, refilled it with filtered water and away I went. Progress demands that little with respect to adventuring remain static. New technology brings advances to the outdoors which are amazing. But one aspect may you be absolutely sure of: Where bottles are concerned, nothing remains more steadfast and constant than the quality and reliability of a Nalgene bottle. Get one, it'll be your friend for life, and for good adventuring. Enjoy!!

This is a great bottle! I find the HDPE version of the Nalgene bottle to be much more durable than the lexan version, most of mine have been to hell and back again. This bottle is not as pretty as the lexan version of the Nalgene but provdes the best combonaton of quality, price, durability, and convenience!

Comments:

I've spent years looking for a water bottle with a quick/easy open lid (as in: not screw-on) that doesn't break or leak. It doesn't exist. I finally gave up on that and went and got one of these today. My parents have several. They've had 'em forever. There's nothing you can do to break these things, at least not without actually trying. And they never leak. I'm sure I'll have this thing for ages. Maybe my whole life, if I don't lose it or something. I'll still keep my eye out for that perfect easy-open bottle, but at least now I know that I'll have this as a backup when I need to throw a bottle in my pack or keep it in my sleeping bag on a cold night, and not have to worry about it one bit.

Comments:

I use this bottle every day. No joke. I put it on my desk and when it gets low you can see the water and then I get more water. It serves as a great reminder to keep using it. The bottle is not hard plastic like the Everyday Bottles from Nalgene, and for that I love it more. The Loop top is great because you don't have to worry about losing the cap and if you do, they make replacement caps. I take the bottle to the gym, out walking, camping, put in my backpack when riding my bike and use it at home. I love this bottle so much that I currently own 4 32oz. Nalgene bottles and would love to buy the 48oz. Silo! Had my bottles for over 2 years now and use them daily and have yet to show signs of wear. The only things I have a problem with but aren't that big of a deal is after I fill the bottle up and then go to play volleyball, in between games I grab a drink and the threads on the bottle itself hold water and every time it drips a little near the bottom of my lip. The other thing I can see as a problem is the loop to the cap, it doesn't appear to be strong enough. I took this bottle with me to Europe and had it clipped to my backpack with a carabiner and it held just fine, but I can see it not working so well when some has it on a backpack and runs with it. Then I think it would bust. Overall I am so pleased with this bottle. So much that I keep buying more and more. It may be a downfall for me.

This bottle is bomb proof. I use it daily for school, work, camping/climbing on the weekends. sometimes i forget it in the car and in more than one occasion it has frozen and turn into a round bubble, a couple hours at room temperatures and returns to its original shape. Bang, throw, drop, kick, bury it... do your worst and for under ten bucks you won't find anything better. I'm getting 4 more.
