NalgeneTritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle (48oz)

Three time owner of this bottle so got some things to say!SHORT SUMMARY:MADE IN THE USA! Support companies that we know pay fairly and create US jobs!To begin with, this bottle is perfect for the outdoors! The wide mouth makes it easy to fill from a mountain stream or lake, and large size = less fills = less hassle with iodine tablets. The shape of the bottle makes it easy to slip into a backpack bottle pocket and it will be good for many hikes and backpacking trips to come as the durable plastic will last for years in an outdoor environment. If you want it for everyday use it will work just fine BUT CAN BE ENHANCED by my suggestions below.ON TO SUGGESTIONS making it THE PERFECT bottle for the outdoors and everyday use:LONG REVIEW:I have LOVED nalgene products for as long as I've loved the outdoors (my whole life), and this bottle is the one! I purchased one of these a long time ago and had the same issue as many reviewers. I dropped it once when it was all the way full from waist height and it shattered the bottom. I was so sad, but nalgene can do no wrong (and I don't really feel it was nalgene's fault because it is a big heavy bottle when full, the plastic IS generally pretty durable, and there is a limit to materials engineering when manufacturing a bottle you can get for only $10 - $12) so I ordered another. Took that one to nepal to hike Base Camp Everest, took it all over the west coast camping for a couple years, lost it. I was devastated.I just got this bottle again and decided to go all out this time!I paired it with a:- RUBBER BOOT (to protect from scratching it up and should keep it from shattering if I drop it. Mine doesn't fit perfectly but I'm sure you can find one that does and mine works well enough doing what it's supposed to do, not making the bottle tip or anything, if you don't mind a imperfect fit)- STRAW LID (makes it more practical for everyday and easier to drink from if you're on the move)- PARACORD HANDLE (it's a big bottle and can get heavy and awkward to carry when all the way full. Plus the plastic ring on the handle has a loophole where I can attach a round key chain which in turn has a tile sticker on it (details to come))- TILE STICKER TRACKER (not necessary at all, but I tend to lose things, and my nalgene water bottle has a lot of sentimental value to me since I take it everywhere with me EVERYDAY as well as hiking, backpacking, etc. I also stick stickers from all the places I go on it, so I really don't want to lose it. I attached the tile sticker to the back of a round key ring with my college insignia on it, and the key ring to the paracord handle)These additions make it AWESOME for everyday use. I should be able to keep and use this bottle for years and eventually retire it to my other nalgene bottles that carry to many memories and are to precious to risk carrying around everyday and losing. This is a simple timeless bottle that will last for your whole life if you want it to and not dent when you look at it like another bandwagon, made-in-china brand of water bottle I know, cough Hydro*lask.All the additions to the bottle minus the college keychain can be found on a public list on my profile called"The Perfect Water Bottle". I will also add a keychain that can be found on amazon that I believe will fit the tile.Also attached to the review is a photo of the kitted out bottle (pretty rugged looking if I do say so myself) and me with this exact bottle (the old one) hiking BCE!OK, long review over. GET THE BOTTLE! :)

I have bought many other bottles in the past, and this has always been my favorite. It holds 48 ounces. It has a holder, and it is very resistant. I have dropped it several times and it has sustained the blows! Do not remove the plastic to avoid losing the count of your ounces. My previous Nalgene bottles had the ounces printed on the bottle, but they faded after years of use. My "newer" one has the plastic. I bought it at least a year ago, and I started to remove the protective plastic. I soon realized my mistake, and pulled out only a small area of the bottom that doesn't affect the markings. Don't pull the external plastic! It is there so that you can tell how much water you have consumed...if that matters to you. Although I mistreated the plastic a bit, it is still there a year after. The only reason I discarded my previous bottles was because the ounces disappeared from the bottle. With this one, I seriously doubt, I'll have that problem!

Despite being a "Men's" bottle, my silly lady brain managed to figure this out just fine. It is BIG. Which is great, because I drink a large amount of water during the day and don't like to have to run back and forth to the kitchen to fill my bottle over and over. I chose this one, because I heard Nalgene makes good, sturdy, and simple bottles, which is what I need. I don't like bottles with straws (they're impossible to clean), I don't like glass because I drop things, I didn't want a fancy opener, because I'll spill it everywhere on accident. This is just a smooth, straight large bottle with a screw off lid - which fastens tightly. I did order the  Nalgene Easy Sipper Cap For Wide Mouth Bottles Black  to go with it, and I don't think I'd like this bottle as much without it, but at the same time, I like that it's optional and removable, and not just built into the bottle. I also really enjoy how easy this bottle is to clean. Many other bottles have parts that can get moldy or gross or you need a special collection of brushes to clean every part. Not so with this. I use an old baby bottle brush and it gets down there just fine. Love this bottle!

I have had this monster of a Nalgene bottle since September 2014 and it is still holding up perfect! I have always wanted a large Nalgene bottle to drink out of; this bottle fills up about three times to one gallon of water, just what I needed for my Gallon challenge!I recommend getting the Humangear Capcap (http://amzn.to/1xfur7Z) along with it, yes it is almost as much as the Nalgene bottle itself, but it is worth every penny! The very first day that I received this bottle, I went to eat Mexican food; many people say that the flavor and smell of the food after a while lingers on the cap of the bottle. This hasn't been the case for all these months.Every now and then I recommend washing the bottle out every day and cleaning it a couple times a week.Since there is so much water in this bottle when full, it stays cool for many hours and it is usually always cooler than room temp, even when setting out overnight.The strap on the lid has held up very well and is still going strong, that is how I have been carrying it around for all these months and I will continue to do so. I have also dropped it many times from multiple heights and only a few minor scratches, but no dents. This is some very, very thick "BPA free" plastic!In my closing statement, I will say that for the money, you cannot beat this epic water bottle! Well worth your money and is going to last you a long time! if you don’t want to go all out, a 32oz bottle would most likely work best for you.

I personally hate the sip caps and other caps that can build gunk easily and be hard to clean, this Naglene is just a simple twist cap and is pretty easy to clean and drink out of. In terms of volume, it holds up to 1.5L so its more than enough for me needs. I've had it for a couple months and even though I've dropped it multiple times it still looks great.

É de ótima qualidade, não vasa. Recomendo.

Es muy resistente, la verdad no he intentado utilizarlo para guardar cosas calientes por lo que no se cuanto resista para guardar el calor, pero realmente no lo veo con funcion aislante de calor. En cuanto a resistencia, es de un plastico muy grueso , resiste mucho los golpes y caidas es de uso rudo no se quiebra, puedes tenerlo en laMochila junto libros pesados, se me ha caido de altura y del techo del carro, de escritorios y no le pasa NADA. Le cabe mucha agua la de 24 horas , el cierre es completamente hermetico no se tira nada nada y tiene una tira con la que puedes cargarlo. La boquilla es grande por lo que es facil lavarlo por dentro a comparacion con otros thermos que tienen boquilla estrecha y no puedes pasar esponjas o algun otro utencilio para lavarlo (justo en en eso me fije para comprarlo). En si, una excelente compra. Ya tengo muchos años con el, y con la garantia de que a los thermos nalgene no les pasa nada. Si tienen duda de comprar esta marca vs. otra, no se la piensen y compren esta a veces son mas caros pero si no lo pierdes a estos termos no les pasa nada ni siquiera se rayan. Muy buena calidad

C’est ma 3e bouteilles je les adore facile a nettoyer car le trou est gros et assez gros pour ne pas la remplir plein de fois

Tinha dúvidas se era realmente Nalgene oficial, mas realmente é. E a garrafa é muito boa, resistente, ótima pra levar na mochila com água, não vaza nem pinga. Recomendo
