HDPE Wide Mouth 32 oz BPA-Free Water Bottle

I have had Nalgene bottles since the 90's and they are great. I got this one for my Dad because he doesn't get enough water throughout the day and doesn't like paying for bottled water. These are basically indestructable. I have carried them hiking on the trails for a long time. Easy to carry and fits in most cup holders. I get the wide mouth Nalgene because it's easier to clean. I also bought him some electrolyts and a sponge bottle washer. Great classic bottle.

I recently purchased a Nalgene water bottle and I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The bottle is made from high-quality materials and is incredibly durable, so I know it will last for a long time. One of the things I love about this bottle is that it is leak-proof. I can throw it in my bag and not have to worry about any spills or leaks. The wide mouth also makes it easy to add ice or fruit to my water, and it's easy to clean too. The bottle is also very lightweight, so it's perfect for taking on hikes or to the gym. And, the markings on the side make it easy to track my water intake throughout the day. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase of the Nalgene water bottle. It's a high-quality product that I know I will be using for years to come. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, leak-proof water bottle.

Is there a better water bottle for the price? Nope. Lightweight. Cheap. Well built.

I love Nalgene bottles. They are really strong which makes them borderline indestructible. They aren’t double insulated or anything like that but just a great generic water bottle!

I love the size. It may be a bit smaller than the usual 32oz, but it fits most of my backpacks well. The HDPE is softer than the other plastics treated with hardeners (like BPA), but IMHO it is a plus. It seems to be a high quality HDPE, that performs very well for long time without breaking apart due to UV light. Being softer makes it less likely to break in extreme conditions, when the water freezes or when it falls from a considerable height. The wide mouth makes opening the bottle much easier. Especially in freezing conditions when the ice clogs the opening and one has to struggle with mittens. Cleaning is also simplified.

Its a classic nalgene but its listed as 32oz and its only 30oz. Slightly smaller than a Tritan nalgene. Not a big deal but the listing is wrong

Quick summary - I love it. This HDPE Nalgene is the classic white, translucent plastic from the 90s. Tritan is the very common, clear hard plastic that replaced the Lexan bottles that you see the most today. Check the pros and cons to see if HDPE or Tritan work better for you. Bottom line on top: Get HDPE if: You're using it for water, want to minimize weight and have the best durability. Get Tritan if: You use it for juice/sports drinks/protein shakes, hot liquids, and bottle weight is not a concern. HDPE Pros: + Absolute winner on weight and drop durability. HDPE is solid, it doesn't squish at all, but it is technically softer than Tritan. The upside to that is that if you drop it, it flexes and won't crack as easily as more rigid Tritan. + A little bit smaller. Might be a con for some people, but I think it's great. It's just slightly more compact. + Proven safety. HDPE has been around for decades in lab and food safety and the industry has a ton of data and experience with it. We're really, really sure this plastic is safe. I have no concerns about Tritan either but we don't have as much time with it as HDPE. HDPE Cons: - Slight odor when you first get it. Wash it with warm, soapy water and leave the cap open. The smell will fade and you won't ever notice it again. - Lower melting point. You can put boiling water into this but you'll feel the bottle start to go slightly soft. Tritan has a much higher melting point and stays firm. - Retains more odors than Tritan. If you're mixing sports drinks or protein shakes, those slight odors can linger slightly even after washing. You'll have to use baking soda to get them out. I wouldn't put hot coffee into an HDPE bottle. Tritan isn't perfect but does much better. - More prone to staining. I wouldn't put tomato juice or marinara sauce in HDPE. For folks who want more detailed info on dimensions and weight: Height: HDPE (8 inches), Tritan (8.5 inches) Diameter: HDPE (3.44 inches), Tritan diameter (3.5 inches) Weight with cap (grams): HDPE (110 grams), Tritan (180 grams)

All I can say is any negative complaint on here is from someone who doesn’t camp, and thus should but the worse and more expensive bottle of this brand. 1 chemical smell is not there after you wash it well. Plastic smell is still there, which is where I think most are getting confused. The smell is negligent. 2 bottle is made of the material that is slightly insulated in itself. Which is a plus. 3. It is in the right price range. GREAT BOTTLE

Nalgene, marque bien connu dans les laboratoires (sous les marques Thermo Nalgene pour les bouteilles et tubes, et Nunc pour les plastiques de culture cellulaire). Bref, sa réputation de solidité et de fiabilité n'est plus à faire. Les gourdes découlent directement des flacons pour échantillons. Cette version en HDPE (polyethylene haute densité) est certes d'un blanc translucide, donc n'a pas la transparence des versions en Tritan™, mais offre une meilleure résistance mécanique en cas de chute, et surtout cette gourde est nettement plus légère que sa version Tritan™. L'autre atout majeur de Nalgene, c'est d'offrir des bouteilles parfaitement étanche sans joint additionnel, juste avec un bouchon parfaitement ajusté. D'ailleurs cette bouteille "wide-mouth" avec son ouverture de 53mm interne/63 mm externe est compatible avec les bouchons "on the fly" ou en abrégé "OTF" de la marque, je m'en suis servie pour donner une seconde vie au bouchon d'une gourde OTF dont le Tritan™ n'avait pas supporté une chute un peu violente (impact avec le trottoir lors d'un sprint après le bus...). J'ai ainsi aussi gagné en capacité, de 650 ml à 1 litre. D'ailleurs, cette bouteille contient même un peu plus, car la graduation 1000 mL se trouve bien 1cm sous l'épaulement. Niveau prix Nalgene abuse vraiment sur les articles de randonnée par rapport au tarif des bouteilles de laboratoire, la seule différence étant le bouchon accroché... Tarif similaire ici par rapport aux enseignes type "Vieux Campeur", autour de 12,90€. Pour résumer : ✅ La qualité Nalgene : garantie sans relargage ✅ HPDE : léger, solide, quasi indégradable ✅ Contient un peu plus d'1L ✅ Parfaitement étanche ✅ Plus légère et résistante que la version Tritan™ ✅ Moins cher que la version Tritan™ (12,90€ vs 17,90€) ✅ Bouchon attaché à la bouteille ✅ Ouverture large "wide-mouth" de 53mm ✅ Compatible avec les bouchons 63mm comme l'OTF Nalgene ✅ Possibilité d'ajouter un réducteur d'ouverture ou "sipper" ⛔ Moins transparente que la version Tritan™ ⛔ Chère pour ce que c'est - surtout comparé aux versions laboratoire Si ce retour d'expérience entièrement financé par ma CB vous a été utile, un petit clic fait toujours plaisir. 😉

After seeing this recommended on the r/buyitforlife subreddit, I decided to try it since I kept dropping my old bottles and they’d always break. This one seems indestructible so far! The quality is fantastic, and it’s held up to everything I’ve put it through. It’s also dishwasher safe, so that’s a huge bonus. I did buy the sipper insert separately, which I’d recommend for easier drinking. Definitely worth factoring that into the cost. Overall, I can’t argue with the price for something this durable. Just wish I’d made the switch sooner!

Good bottle for hiking, very light

For those wanting a Nalgene bottle but need to shave a few grams this is a good option. Be aware that it is softer & can’t handle as hot as tritan but it can still handle hot enough. This is my EDC bottle that I nest in a titanium cup. The 2 combined weigh similar to a regular tritan Nalgene. Would be even better if the lid was matching white I think. Oh & it’s about 5mm shorter than tritan Nalgene

Can't go wrong with nalgene bottles. They are awesome
