I review the Nalgene water bottle and put it through some test in this video to decide if its worth buying and using as a backpacking water bottle.

I’ve been using Nalgene products for 30ish years and always come back to them. The cap size and threads are used by many other companies like hydroflask so you can use a variety of caps.

It’s my go to for sure! Great water bottle.

It works well for cold night of camping. Fill up with hot or warm water and bring in into your sleeping bag. If you're worried about water leaking put it in a zip lock bag

I would like to see the damage on the bottle. It looks like the bottle itself isn't damaged, only the cap...and the cap is replacable, you can buy them separately.

I should have shown the damage a little closer. It had a small chip out of the mouth piece but other than that I was still functional with a new lid. Super impressed with the durability of these.

@@WesWright-xl2rrwe’ve had these forever. Started with the squeezy bike bottles, the. These hard plastic bottles. We have ones that have survived over 20 years, 4 kids, probably nigh on a thousand miles of hikes, and they’re still kicking. We use the wide mouth because they’re easier to clean, but we use the easy sipper, (makes the wide mouth a narrow mouth). If they evrt break we buy a new one, or send Nalgene a pic of it, and (in theory) they’ll send us a new one. Lots to love about Nalgenes

Thank you Wes for making the sacrifice to do this test. (RIP Nalgene bottle.) Guess it's all in the name of science LOL. Seriously, though, your video and the scenery is so fun to watch! We're awestruck! 🤩

I actually like these a lot for home use too. They're not as cool looking as hydroflasks, but are cheaper and maybe more durable.

Totally agree, I use mine at home all the time!

The question is: Is the bottle body or just the lid destroyed. You can buy a spare lid for just a few bucks but anyway I love those bottles I have few of them and use them literally every day besides bike touring + camping.
@WesWright-xl2rr10 ай бұрын
The only part of the bottle that got destroyed was a chip out of the threaded mouth piece. Even at that I bet a new lid probably would have worked. Crazy strong water bottles. I use mine just about every day too.

Nalgene bottles are very nice. They’re made of Eastman tritan.

hey from what i see it looks like the actual bottle did survive but the flimsy lid didn’t and u can j buy a new lid from their website so i don’t think of that as a fail

The threaded mouthpiece on the bottle chipped and broke. Still super impressive

It’s because it’s tritan plastic. Any water bottle with this plastic is the same.
