Nalgene Wide Mouth 500ml Tritan Sustain Water Bottle - Olive

I have purchased many water bottles over the years, like nathan, thermos, nalgene and yeti, some for myself, some for kids' uses. But for non-insulating no fuss bottles, nothing beats nalgene. They are durable, seals well for general use (kids would need help closing it tightly), and the only one to fit inside my 2L sling bag. The lid is fuss-free and does not take up extra room. Easy to clean in the dish washer.

Full disclosure: we have a few nalgene bottles at home. They are all the 1 litre bottles and have survived the rigours of hill use, family life and have been pressed into service as hot-water bottles for winter camping. Still going strong after 15+ years.I wanted a smaller version for winter climbing when 500ml water and a 500ml flask are plenty so have bought the 500ml model in pomegranate (it is definitely an orangey colour, rather than pink like my family keep asserting) and it has been typically brilliant so far. It hasn't been up a mountain yet but it does get chucked in a bag when we go to the park and does what it should.Bonus points because it fits in a cup holder in the car and it fits inside a winter mitt so I can keep hot drinks warm in it.I have no ... MoreFull disclosure: we have a few nalgene bottles at home.

I love tritan bottles; they are tough, light, make water taste pure and put one in mind of adventure every time a sip is taken.Trouble is, primarily being hiking accessories they usually have a large capacity making them a chore to carry to the office or just around town.That's where these 500ml capacity Nalgene bottles come in. They are light, portable and fit in vehicle cup holders as well. They lend a certain rakish adventurer style to the everyday commuter.For years I used sports bottles, which was fine except I travel a lot and they tended to leak in aircraft cabins if left lying down in your carry on. Not these bad boys. Rigid construction with a secure cap - no more damp luggage for me.Bring one of these to a meeting and I always get a knowing nod from ... MoreI love tritan bottles; they are tough, light, make water taste pure and put one in mind of adventure every time a sip is taken.Trouble is, primarily being hiking accessories they usually have a large capacity making them a chore to carry to the office or just around town.That's where these 500ml capacity Nalgene bottles come in.
