Nalgene Wide Mouth Water Bottle, Blue, 32 oz

I’ve been using the Nalgene water bottle for several months now, and it’s become my go-to for hydration. The durability is unmatched—whether I’m hiking, at the gym, or just running errands, this bottle can handle anything I throw at it. It’s incredibly sturdy yet lightweight, and completely leak-proof, so I never have to worry about spills in my bag. The wide mouth makes it easy to fill with ice or clean, and the large capacity keeps me hydrated all day. Plus, the design is sleek and functional, with a variety of colors to choose from. Overall, I highly recommend the Nalgene bottle for anyone looking for a reliable, long-lasting water bottle!

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.

I've become somewhat of a gym rat, so this water bottle has been really good to me.PROS (in order of importance)1. The opening is wide, which makes cleaning easy. I use scrubs that are designed to help you wash baby bottles, and they work beautifully on my new Nalgene. (My old one -- a tall, stainless steel one with a tiny opening -- was impossible to wash, and I thought I saw something growing at the bottom but couldn't see clearly enough to be sure. You can bet that I tossed it out immediately)2. It's HUGE. I've always been really conscious about staying hydrated, so I'm all about its capacity (32 ounces). Also, I've become a gym rat, so I needed a bottle that could hold a hefty amount of liquid.2a. It comes with an indicator that tells you how much (both in milliliters and fluid ounces) you have inside the bottle at any given time. I don't pay this particular attention because I just fill this bottle up to its capacity and drink the water, but I suppose it can be helpful for those who are really careful about their portions or those who want to use it to get their proportions for lemonade or energy powders right.3. It's SO durable. (I love it, I love it, I love it.) I'm really clumsy, and I tend to drop things. But my new bottle has been a champ when it comes to rolling with the punches.4. You can customize yours by color. I got mine in Trout Green, which I love (though why would you call it such an unappealing name?). It's not really green at all -- it's more like a teal, maybe? I'm obsessed with it.5. It's easy to open. Again, I'm a gym rat now, and this is important to me.6. You can get the "Nalgene Easy Sipper" if you're a klutz like me. This helps to restrict how much water you can spill on yourself in one go, haha.CONS1. Admittedly, it's a bit bulky and won't fit in most (if any) cup holders. I usually just toss it into the passenger seat. Also, you're better off holding this rather than trying to stuff it in a bag, especially since it can move around in your tote bag or backpack and jut out against your body. BUT if you're like me, you can also just take some paracord and make an easy wrist strap for yourself (which you can then hook onto your tote bag with a carabineer).2. There's disagreement over whether or not the plastic used to make a Nalgene can be harmful if left in the sun. But my countermeasure is to not leave it in the sun, DUH. I mean, this is kind of common sense for all of the things that people drink, right? (I mean, who's trying to drink chunky, sun-warmed milk or sun-baked water? I'll leave my bottle under the shade or cover it with a jacket, thanks.)

If you're in the market for a plastic waterbottle, Nalgene is a great brand. They're very tough, they seal tight (especially the narrow mouth variety), and they have useful measurement markings.Why should you buy the 32oz/1qt wide mouth style in particular?* It holds a lot of water* It has a wide (stable) base compared to some brands* The wide mouth enables:- easy filling- the option of adding things like flavor pouches that would get stuck in narrow mouth Nalgenes- easier cleaningThat last point is a big deal. Every water bottle should be scrubbed out from time to time, and narrow-neck Nalgenes are very difficult to clean this thoroughly. The wide mouth does make it more difficult to drink gracefully, however, and more catastrophic when the bottle is knocked over. I recommend also buying and using the Nalgene Easy Sipper accessory, which I have used -- it works.With the shorter lid thread travel than the narrow mouth design, I am less convinced that this bottle will not leak. It's definitely a good lid and I don't think I've ever had it leak inside a bag, but I do take more care to close it tightly than I do with my narrow mouth bottle.Like any Nalgene water bottle, the external plastic is prone to dulling over time, reducing the transparency and shine of the bottle. Wear would be less apparent with an opaque bottle. The measurement markings also wear off.Short of extreme trauma to the bottle, the only thing that can break on a Nalgene is the plastic loop connecting the lid to the bottle. It's quite tough, but on larger bottles can break when the full bottle is routinely carried by the loop. This has not happened to me, but I have seen it in the wild.Why you should not buy this product:* You don't need to carry between a quarter and a third of your daily water intake around.* You don't want to risk spilling a lot of water when the lid is open.* You want a very, very secure lid.* You want a non-plastic bottle.* You want an opaque bottle.Health note: Nalgene bottles, like most reusable plastic bottles today, are BPA-free. We probably don't know as much about the chemicals used to replace BPA as we do about BPA itself, though.(Note: I purchased this bottle in 2016. I am not aware of any subsequent changes in manufacturing, if any.)

Best water bottle! Love the colors!
