I drink two bottles of water a day at work

I use this when I practice becuase of the wide opening, it makes gupling water easier than with the smaller ones found on most water bottles.

What can I really say about them that you haven't already heard? They're all but indestructible, mine has been dropped more times than I care to say, rolled down flights of stairs, fallen off rocky ledges, you name it. They do scratch, but that only gives them character. I also like how they don’t take on the taste of beverages put in them, from juice, to cool aid, Gatorade, to pop/soda or anything you could think to mix in it. I prefer the wide mouth because it makes it easier to clean, just get the splash guards or you might end up wet.
They also work well to keep things you don’t want to get damaged or wet. I have some small ones that I keep batteries, matches & shampoo in, and I’ve never had wet matches or shampoo all over everything even after it’s been in checked luggage on a flight.
I recommend them to anyone.

The bottle is almost unbreakable. We have shot this with a 30'06 rifle, and the bottle was scratched but not broken. Very good for wilderness and white water. Serves it's purpose very well. The cap is more likely to break than the body, so be more careful of the cap. I use this with my ROTC unit, and it has held up well.
I have six of them i've used them for backpacking, mountian climbing, on rivers, sports, I use them for everything. I dont go on a trip without one. For anyone that says they're unbreakable i've broken four of them (but not due to lack of trying for most). My only complants are that they melt easy and are hard to clean if you let them sit for a few weeks with a liquid in them. If you want them to retain heat or cold put them in a sock. They are good for a whole bunch of uses other than holding water. So, over all Nalgenes are exellent.
Lutenin is the heaviest and hardest of the rare earth elements, it is a substance with a melting point of 3006 °F, a boiling point of 6156 °F and it is what I presume the good people at Thermo Fisher Scientific use to make Nalgene bottles. Or maybe they use plastic. Regardless, my personal Nalgene bottle has been thrown from cliffs and dragged behind a moving truck the distance from Canada to Anchorage, Alaska. It remains an intact and enduring symbol of product quality.

Perfect
from Madison, CT on 9/18/2007
I put in driving under best uses and then realized that I don't use this great bottle when I drive because the bottle doesn't fit the cupholder. MAJOR DESIGN MISS. The largest volume selling minivan series, Chrysler's line, and this design team didn't think about testing the fit. The bottle could have been made slightly taller combined with a smaller diameter to get the best of both world's. Also, the lid hinge is very stiff so the lid stays in an awkward position to use one handed. This will probably go away with use (I hope). Still a great bottle.

I don't use anything else, I have yet to break a nalgene and I have beat the junk out of my old one, just needed another
from Watertown, CT on 8/28/2007
My daughter told me it was unbreakable so I put it in the dishwasher with the lid on not knowing that part was "normal" thinking I was helping and melted the top....which is why I bought this one. :)
from Memphis, TN on 7/29/2007
This is just the right water bottle for whatever. I use it at work in the police car and when on carpet cleaning jobs. On the weekend it straps to my motorcycle for day trips. If you think you want one, a week after using it you'll be glad you bought it and will have long forgotten the money you spent on it.

from Saratoga Springs, NY on 7/15/2007
Great bottle, I love mine. It has tons of accessories that really make it useful (firefly, bottle belt...) Although it doesn't keep things cold well, I would still reccomend it to anyone.
from Washington, DC on 6/18/2007
This Nalgene bottle is the best bottle out there and has been for a long time.
really good
from The Happy Valley, Mass on 4/23/2007
I've been trying to break these for about 15 years, and have succeeded only once. They've survived sledgehammers, 300" drops (empty), being driven over... extremely good product, well worth it and invaluable for camping.
from Eastern PA on 4/17/2007
I got exactly what I expected.
from Charlottesville, VA on 4/3/2007
These bottles get so much use in our house that we just had to buy a few new ones to replace the ones we're retiring after 3 years of use!
from florida on 3/20/2007
I love these bottles. I use these for everything.
from New York,NY on 2/27/2007
If you have one than you know you destined to own more than one. They are great for if you are adding to your collection or you are in the city and don't want to keep buying bottles of water. Highly recommend them.

I have had my Nalgene bottle for years and years. I love it so much I really want to get another one, but I'm cheap, and I don't buy duplicate items. I keep hoping my old one will break or crack or something so I can get a new one, but it hasn't. The thing just won't die. It's easy to clean and hold, and it holds a great amount of liquid. I bring my bottle with me everywhere - it sits on my desk all day at work, goes to the gym, rides along on car trips, etc. I have only ever had a problem with spilling while drinking when I wasn't paying attention or if being jostled while drinking. Otherwise, it's just like drinking out of a cup. Have used mine for so long that all the numbers have worn off the sides. Also very glad that replacement lids are available, as I melted mine in the dishwasher - needs to go on the top shelf.

Great for any time or place.
from New Hampshire on 12/9/2006
I read a lot of people complaining about spilling, I have to say, I've got a couple of the 32oz wide mouths that I've had for 5 or 6 years, and never had a problem with spilling as long as I keep the cap tight. Now, if they changed the design, I can't really back anything up, but it doesn't look like they did. I guess I'll just have to go buy me a new one to see :-) Just wanted to give you a kudos nalgene...
from RI on 12/9/2006
Worked great until I dropped it and the bottom of the bottle cracked off, for something that is supposed to be unbreakable it shouldnt break when dropped from about 4 feet onto a wooden floor.
from pa on 11/14/2006
its the best bottle i have ever had
from FLORIDA on 11/12/2006
I love nalgenes. For some reason my lid is weird. It doesn't screw right. I think it needs to be worn in.
from Kailua, Hawaii 96734 on 11/6/2006
I also bought the half pouch to put my bottle in and it is NOT insulated like I was told it is. My Nalgene bottle leaked from the cover and when I put it in my half cover, it also made everything in my bag all wet and ice didn't last long like I was told it would. I am disappointed. Sorry to say.

from Bellevue, WA on 10/4/2006
This is a great water bottle, and well worth the money. My only complaint is how it drips all over the place when the cold water inside condensates. It's nothing a coaster or paper towel can't fix, but it's still annoying when the bottle drips everywhere. Otherwise, this bottle is great.

I used two of these for winter mountaineering. I had never used them before, but definately better than a normal water bottle that would melt if you put hot liquids in it. Combine it with an EMS H20 Cooler that fits ferectly on these and keeps drinks from freezing. Downside is that you will spill on yourself when you drink out of it.
