Nalgene BPA Free Tritan Wide Mouth Water Bottle, 32 Oz, Gray with Black Lid

Everywhere 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.

This bottle has been fantastic! And it’s extremely durable! I have dropped it so many times and it keeps on ticking! Great bottle!

Ive owned this particular bottle for around a year now, and it seems to be holding up great so far. I have used and abused this bottle, frequently dropping it onto hard surfaces and holding it by that plastic lid strap often. It scratches easy but that is to be expected with a plastic bottle. It will not leak unless you dont twist the lid on properly. Obviously, this is not an insulating bottle. Cooler liquids placed inside will heat up rapidly and hot liquids (dont do that) will cool down quickly. Doesnt bother me, if it did I would have bought a Hydroflask or something. Like all other water bottles, water inside it will develop an odd taste over time due to residues and microbial activity. No surprise there, just an unavoidable fact of life. As for ease of drinking, it can be difficult at times, but thats what I should have expected when I bought a wide-mouthed bottle like this. When in the car, going over even the smallest bump can be disastrous when mid-drink, so you will often need to time your sips to avoid a faceful of water. Of course this could be avoided with getting one of those adapters that fit onto the mouth and neck it down to a more manageable size, or even buying a narrow-necked bottle from Nalgene instead. Overall, I am very pleased with this product.

Just I expected from these containers

I own both the 32 and 48 oz versions of this and I love having it. Very easy to clean/sterilize and the screw top is very secure. The top itself is so secure that it takes a little effort to unscrew if you do it too tight but even a modest tightening leaves it secure enough that you need not worry about spilling. The plastic connector that keeps the top on is a nice addition which also provides a loop to hold the bottle from though I wouldnt hook it to a carabiner and go walking with it as I suspect it might grow weak after a few months usage. The price is amazing, the look is fantastic, why use anything else. My co-worker says that made in the usa is also a +10 for this product and I reasonably agree. I used to take 1-liter bottles of water to work as we didnt have access to clean water without $$. 15-bottles at 6.2~ from costco poland spring at 1 or 2 a day (5 d/w, 12 m/y) is anywhere between $6-18 p/m depending on frequency. The 48-ounce silo is about 1.5 liter and if you use that (which is like 12$ on amazon) you save the $6-18 after a month or two. Even if you need to replace it due to an accident/loss whatever, you save money.

I 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.

32 oz. takes care of you for a long time. Very reliable seal when taking with you - doesnt leak. Have owned one for over 5 years, had to get an additional one - NO replacement bottle - to take with me for Pickleball. GREAT PRODUCT!

Quaity bottle made in the USA. I was hoping itd be something I could stick my hand into for cleaning but its not that big of an opening. The cap screws off for drinking which is fine and the cap stays attached to the bottle securely which I hoped for to hook it to a carabiner.

Ive had this water bottle for over six months now and I can completely and utterly attest to its strength and endurance. Ive dropped it countless times, down flights of stairs, on concrete, from a few inches to multiple feet and have NEVER had a single crack, dent, leak, or imperfection caused on this bottle. The image I have attached is one I have taken today, rather than when I bought the bottle six months ago in order to indicate just how well it has held up over time from moving twice (in and out for school) and in general through the busy life a young-adult has. The dollar bill is included in order to help indicate size. Any imperfection seen on the bottle is not an actual imperfection (near the top there are lines) but instead those are actually lines of water since I just drank from it. This water bottle helped me turn my life around in terms of water conumption. I was always less likely to drink water when I would finish my water bottle (for a normal 16 ounce one). Since this water bottle is over 32 ounces I have no problem staying hydrated and only have to fill up a couple times instead of once every hour.
