What customers say about "Key Specs"
Nalgene HDPE 32oz Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle
- I don't use Nalgenes much, because of the weight, but these are the lighter version, 3.75oz vs the Tritan at 6.25, I've found those weights to be fairly accurate on my scale.
- I like this material for rough use. It is softer and can deform and pop back, but still keeps it's shape well.
- One thing to mind is that the HDPE material is flexible unlike the rigid tritant, however, I don’t doubt its durability for the slightest.
- One thing to note, these HDPE bottles feel almost softer than the standard material but are definitely more lightweight.
- I use this for the ACV mixture I drink at night in my bedroom. The taste of my mixture does net get distorted by the Nalgene material.
Nalgene Tritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle
- It shows volume amounts on the side so I can track how much water I'm drinking down to the ounce. I love getting into tiny details like this with my routine, so this makes me happy.
- This Nalgene bottle is the only water bottle I use. I love it! The volume capacity, ease of cleaning, and color are reasons why I love it.
- 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.
- Nalgene, a material inert enough for research lab use, good enough for me
- The volume markings wore off uncomfortably quickly. It's not a requirement that I drink exactly X liters per day, but it's nice to see them there and it's useful for making mixed drinks.

What customers say about "Features"
Nalgene HDPE 32oz Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle
- I have used the narrow mouth version for years. This wide-mouth bottle is easier to clean. I use fir cold brewing tea.
- The cap-ring around the bottle is somewhat loose, so it might fall off if you're hanging it by the cap-holder-strap a lot while it's full.
- xactly what I wanted for protein shakes. Zero worries about cap coming off on way to work. And made in USA.
- This product is intended to hold drinking water !!! I don't feel comfortable drinking from this recipient.
- The cap doesn't seal well at all. It seems more like a knock off than a normal Nalgene bottle.
Nalgene Tritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle
- Well made. It's survived multiple 3+ ft drops while full without cracking or scuffing the bottle or lid.
- Cap has defined ridges on it for a positive grip when opening or closing.
- I'm too much of a fan of the oz/mL label to throw it in the dishwasher. I imagine it would come off easily, and I like to see how much I'm actually drinking throughout the day.
- I haven't run it through a dishwasher yet but cleaning by hand is a breeze because of the wide mouth.
- I bought this because it can hold 1L and it's dishwasher safe. It fits nicely in the top rack of my dishwasher, and isn't too tall. I like that it has a wide opening to ensure that it really does get clean. T
