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

Just I expected from these containers

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.

I love this water bottle for a number of reasons. 1) It shows volume amounts on the side so I can track how much water Im drinking down to the ounce. I love getting into tiny details like this with my routine, so this makes me happy. 2) It only occasionally seems to pick up a weird smell (I only drink water in it) but Im pretty sure this is because I wait so long between thorough washings. It comes out with one good scrub, so yeah cant complain there either. And most importantly 3) I work in an industrial environment, I hike a lot, and I have a cat that loves to knock everything I own off higher surfaces and onto the floor. Combining all of these hazards means this bottle ends of thrown around a lot. I can hear the plastic smashing into the floor, walls, etc. very clearly every time (no small thuds here) but it has barely gotten a scratch much less had any cracking issues. I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of this Nalgene bottle and I am baffled as to why I have never used their products before.

As expected - great quality and easy to clean.

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.

Ive 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.

Stopped 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.

You cant go wrong with Nalgene. This water bottle helps me stay on track with drinking adequate water on a daily basis. Its durable and easy to clean. 10/10 recommend.

lightweight, solid, easy to clean water bottle. Perfect for camping or backpacking or even day to day use. make sure you screw down tight as it will leak sometimes.

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.
