Nalgene Water Bottle Review

What's there to say? You see them EVERYWHERE.
Well, Nalgene water bottles have been a staple piece of outdoor equipment for decades and with good reason. Lightweight, inexpensive, and nigh-indestructible, the Nalgene water bottle is on everyone's list of essential gear.

Most Nalgenes are:
Resistant to staining
Resistant to retaining odors
Dishwasher Safe - Please make sure the cap does not touch the heating element
Withstands temperatures from -40ºF to 212ºF
Made from Eastman Tritan TM copolyester that is manufactured without Bisphenol A (BPA)
Have a recycling code of #7, which means other. It does not contain BPA
Made in USA
Retail: Approx. $10-12

Tips/Opinions:
You can shine your flashlight through an opaque Nalgene and use it as a camp lamp
Avoid the flasks and get the original cylindrical bottles
Great for saving money on drinks while traveling.
Most airports do not allow you to bring liquids through the security checkpoint. Simply empty your Nalgene, bring the empty container through security, and then refill it on the other side.

@godbegone I still crack up at this comment every time his voice cracks.

I have to agree regarding the flask. Very disappointed. The current BPA-free bottles definitely retain smells and flavors. Even to the point of retaining morning breath if you drink out of one. They're basically water-only containers now. The older ones were better.

To get rid of smells or flavors, fill the bottle with a mix of water and baking soda. Toss it into the freezer overnight.

I love to support American businesses, but for a basically water-only container; they're overpriced.

Do these bottles have any BPA in them?

If you have a bag that is Molly compatible or if you carry a Maxpedition you can always carry a 32 Nalgene

I think it would be good if the 14 fit into the 32 so you could have water in the 14 , put it in the 32 then fill the remaining space with survival items , cutting downthe overall space used
