4.0 out of 5 stars durable feel,, August 28, 2009

I have numerous stainless steel bottles from several manufacturers Kleen Kanteen, Sigg, and now this one. It is the heaviest gauge of all which is good for durability but maybe not worth the weight for hiking. does not fit most bike cages Still sweats plenty, and too hot to hold with boiling water, but all single walled stainless steel do the same. With so many accessories for the nalgene size standard how can you go wrong.

2.0 out of 5 stars The old "bait and switch" again, July 20, 2011

I probably should have known better given the other reviews, but I too was suckered by the photo of the "Standard", foolishly thinking I'd get the bottle pictured. But like a couple other buyers I got the "Backpacker." It's a fairly nice bottle but not the one shown, and for my purposes inferior. The main issue is that the bottle shown (that you don't actually get) is 38 oz vs the 32 oz of the bottle you'll get. The real problem, though, is that I purchased two GSI cups to go with the bottles. The GSI's are designed to nest with the Standard Nalgene...and of course, they don't nest with the Backpacker.

How to rate this bottle? Since this "bait & switch" has been going on for a long time and nothing has been done about it, I have to knock off at least one star. And I'm taking off one more for the fact that the "Returns are easy" is a joke. I spent over an hour being lead in an endless loop trying to send them back. To be fair, it looks like Amazon was having some server problems but I tried to submit the return many times over the course of a day with no joy.

The product you order won't be what you get, but I'll briefly review the one you do get. It's well made, very sturdy and well thought out. But the bottom is much smaller than the top, making the bottle very tippy- it doesn't want to stand up. It won't nest with any bottle made for a standard Nalgene, so forget that.

I will say that by simple serendipity, these bottles fit some bain maries I already had. So even though they're an epic fail for the intended purpose, I am able to salvage them. Good thing seeing as returning them is a total cluster-frack.

EDIT: Okay, it's the morning of the 24th, July 2011. I see that within the last few hours Amazon has finally edited the listing to show the Backpacker. Had they done it a week or two ago it would have saved me a lot of trouble. But I will at least say that it's a very good bottle. Hopefully at some point they'll get the Standard in- it's just a better bottle for my purposes.

This review is from: Nalgene Stainless Bottle (Sports)

This poduct is one of if not THE best water bottle on the market. Its uses are endless. You can boil water (for purification) in it. Cook in it. Make char cloth. Plus lots more. If you do not know what the importance of this water bottle is look up Dave Canterbury(this is what he uses). Look for his lessons on the 10 C's of survivability. The first five are most important. Container is one of the first three C's(right up there some where between a quallity Cuting tool and Cordage) because it is one of the hardest pieces of gear to reproduce. The quality of the container is very important also. The Nalgene Backpacker SS 32 oz. bottle is the best. Except no imitation. P.S. another reason it is perfect is that most chemical purification treatments measure by quarts and guess what 32 oz. equals one quart. Its perfect!!!
