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

Nalgene water bottles are pretty great. Has lasted me quite a long time. Easily personalized and holds up. Nice wide mouth and no leaks

I've had Nalgene bottles for as long as I can recall. I kept one in a backpack while in college. I had one that I kept in the truck with me as I traveled cross-country. I kept one in my "Go" bag along with a few other items.As I write this review, I have this particular bottle sitting here next to me filled partially with an horchata I've been sipping on. I can't believe there are still people out there who have never had a Nalgene bottle. If you've never had one and are looking into the idea, buy it!They are BPA-free and completely safe to drink from. The covers screw on tight and don't ever leak. They are handy to take with you on the go and can fit into any environment where you might want to have something to drink close at hand. Ive never had one break on me and I've dropped many of them from various heights. I tend to lose them or give them to friends who don't have one.

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 can't 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 can't flex. It's very firm.+ I haven't 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 don't 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 didn't leave room for expansion during the freezing process. I didn't 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 I'll just hang on to this one for a while longer.

We've had one of these, which I bought at a sporting goods store, for around 10 years now. It is still in perfect condition minus some minimal scuffs from the dishwasher or being inside a backpack. The ones on Amazon are much cheaper and the quality still looks the same. We're glad we made the switch to BPA free years ago. They also make some Nalgene water bottles with different caps and necks, and they have all been wonderful. My favorite for everyday use at work and school are the newer ones that have a screw on top, but the top has a hinge with an arched topper-thing. The top opens up to reveal a hole about the circumference of a nickel, which gives you plenty of water without a lot of spills, makes refilling from a sink or fountain easier, and makes cleaning a breeze compared to the old style water bottles with pull tops w/ dinky holes to drink from, or straws.These are really important since most non-stainless steel water bottles do have BPA, which can cause all kinds of issues, especially with the hormones of children. We stopped storing our food in plastic containers (using glass ones instead), chose these Nalgene and some ,stainless steel water bottles, etc, and have felt much more relaxed for years now. The bonus over stainless steel is that there is no metal taste from the Nalgene bottle.Finally: My favorite about this particular 32 oz size is that you can practically get your hand in there to scrub it out. I can fit it in the top rack of my dishwasher, though I usually hand wash, and I know it will get clean. If there were visible particles inside it, I would be able to see them better than with stainless steel.The con is for those who need a stainless steel bottle while bugging out or something, as a way to boil and therefore purify their water over a fire or stove. These are lighter...and GSI and Oli sell metal camp cups of high quality (with folding handles) that will fit perfectly onto the bottom of this bottle. Those are about $10 and you'd be a lot less likely to burn yourself. With that method, you aren't adding a whole lot of weight if any compared to having a stainless steel bottle of this size...and you have a way to avoid burning yourself.
