Nalgene Sustain 1L Bottle Wide Mouth Red

I bought this replacement wide mouthed Nalgene bottle because I left mine somewhere on a hike the other day. I've always found these bottles great. This was only the third one I have ever purchased. And...it's the only one wrapped on the outside in a further layer of unnecessary plastic film! What??? How good is this for the environment? One more sheet of plastic that hopefully will go in the right recycling bin at the waste recycling depot. Bad move, maker of Nalgene bottle. This is the only reason I give it 3 stars instead of 5. Great bottles otherwise.

I actually prefer room temperature water, so this bottle is perfect for me. I wanted the Cotton color, but I saw it in store and it’s strangely really similar to the Mocha color but with a sort of bone colored cap. So I got the Mocha instead.

Functionally, it’s a water bottle. It’s fine and is the exact model of the one I already know and love (that I was gifted). However, I ordered the Pomegranate color bottle and received a hideous hot pink and blue bottle. I could’ve returned and reordered, but I wish I would’ve been notified that the color I chose had sold out after I’d purchased and been able to select another color on my own instead of being sent a random (and ugly) color. Again, it’s a bottle and the color doesn’t particularly affect it’s performance, but I would’ve appreciated the option to cancel or select another color since Pomegranate was sold out.
