18-11-2024Ive been using Nalgene waterbottles since I was sixteen in the scouts. I fell in love with their relability, durability, leak proof lids, and the measurements on the side making it easy to use for water purification, cooking, and electrolyte drink mixes. The nalgene bottle can handle being frozen, and it can handle hot drinks too without leeching chemicals. I make tea in mine occasionally. You typically need to stand still to drink from it cuz it splashes a bit if you arent careful, but I recently discovered that you can get a little inner piece that will make it a narrower spout without having to sacrifice the wide mouth. My workplace requires see through waterbottles so the coloration of these bottles are perfect as well. A lot of people complain about the bottle smelling with nalgenes. The secret to not having a smelly nalgene is to wash it every single day without fail, paying close attention to the edges where your lips touch the theads, and dont just top up day old water with fresh water. Just make that part of your routine. Even if you only have water in it it will still start smelling because moist places is where bacteria will grow, and the source of bacteria is your lips and mouth. If you wash it every single day, which most sources recommend you do with any waterbottle, then youll be fine. Clean water is incredibly important and contaminating your drinking source by not washing the threads where the cap screws on and the inside is a good way to get yourself sick. The reason why I favor the wide mouth version because its much easier to clean.

> 3 dayThis is my favorite water bottle on the planet. It’s the perfect every day bottle. No it’s not insulated, but for everyday use, you can’t beat it, especially when you have quick access to cold water all day at work like I do. It holds a lot of liquid without being too big and bulky unlike most other options on the market. I prefer the hard plastic as opposed to metal so that you don’t hear me clinking and clunking all day. Comes in a boat load of colors and sizes. I personally prefer the wide-mouth and don’t believe the splash guard is necessary because I never drink it as if I was stranded in the desert dying of thirst, but if you want it- it’s there , along with other accessories like cap options. The best thing is the price. I paid just over 10 bucks for this high quality bottle. Other water bottles are just too expensive these days. Just buy this and be done. It just flat out does the job and stands the test of time.

> 3 dayStopped using my old Nalgene because of the BPA issues.....and thought Id find something better.....wrong. Tough bottle, simple twist to the left, glug glug, twist to the right to close - and done. I carried my old Nalgene with me through countless miles of backpacking, canoeing, sports, and other uses. It somehow never got lost. Expect this new Nalgene will be with me a really long time.

> 3 dayI have been using this brand basically my entire life and i love them. Its a simple design, suprisingly durable, and made in the USA baby! My old one had had the misfortune of being owned by me; i have dropped, scraped, thrown, sat on, lost in snow, , etc on it and my dog had gotten ahold of it and it was still just as functional as the day i got it. The best part(in my opinion) is i have never gotten that nasty plasticy taste like ya typically would with every other brand. The only thing i could make a fuss about is lack of color choices/customization and i wish they would make a line of tumblers because i prefer straws over gulping from the bottle. 11/10 recommend!

Greater than one weekI purchased 2 of these in different colors. They have far exceeded expectation. I fill one 1/4 full of water & freeze it for my tea, and one 3/4 full of water for afternoon water. In the morning I top them both off & have ice cold beverages all day. There is absolutely no weird taste given off from the bottles so I assume they stand by their word of BPA free. They are easy to open & close and fit well in my cooler. (They are as tall as a normal G@torade bottle) Just be careful drinking and not let the lid fly back & hit you (hasnt happened but could) :) Overall an A+. Will buy again if needed.

> 3 dayI now accidentally have 6 of these. I seem to always forget them at home when I need them and I always buy them in pairs. I’ve never had a problem with leaking, cracking, or anything. The only problems were self inflicted. I wash them in the dishwasher on the bottom rack and once one of the tops got too close to the heating element. I just ordered a replacement top on Amazon. Another time, I was in the desert and I wasn’t being overly careful with one of my bottles and it looks a bit beat up but still works as intended. Be kind to these bottles and they will last a very long time.

Greater than one weekEverywhere I look, someone is boasting about the popular classic 32 oz. Nalgene bottles. So I figured it was time for me to get one. I ordered the 32 oz. wide mouth in grey/black lid. PROS: + The bottle feels very nice in hand. + Cap has defined ridges on it for a positive grip when opening or closing. + I am not terribly rough with it so I cant say for durability for drops and falls. I imagine that at some point if I were careless enough I could break it but the material feels like thick quality plastic that I cant flex. Its very firm. + I havent run it through a dishwasher yet but cleaning by hand is a breeze because of the wide mouth. + Last but not least, it holds liquids well. CONS: None at the moment. Next I will get the same bottle but with the smaller opening. No fault of Nalgene but sometimes I dont want to feel like I am drinking from a bucket with the wide mouth opening. But this is a preference thing. I am definitely glad that I got one of these bottles finally to see why it is so popular. It holds the perfect amount of water for a lengthy car ride or a small exploratory hike. Definitely a good purchase. Was this review helpful? Please let me know. Thank you. EDIT on 5/23/19: So I have been using this bottle for a bit now and I do enjoy it. Recently, I made a major mistake. I filled the bottle all of the way up and capped it and then wanted to give it a cold shot so I put it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Well, I had gotten side tracked and left it in the freezer for over 24 hours. I didnt leave room for expansion during the freezing process. I didnt know what I would find.... I took it out and I noticed that it was bulging at the bottom. So basically when I stand it up, it teeters and rolls around and easily wants to tip over. I just left it out to acclimate and I was shocked that within 15 minutes as the ice began to melt, the bottom looked normal again. It is still thawing out but it stands up flat again and seems fine. Hopefully no permanent damage was done (i.e.- more fragile against a drop or fall) Gotta say that I was expecting to have to order another but Ill just hang on to this one for a while longer.
