Best Bottle Out There, January 7, 2010
This review is from: Nalgene Tritan 1-Quart Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle (Sports)
I own both the Nalgene and the Camelbak BPA-free Tritan bottles. I like them both really well and use them both for different situations. The Nalgene is a great carry around bottle, while the Camelbak is probably better suited for the gym or biking (due to its bite valve). One nice thing about this Nalgene is the Camelbak tops (with the bite valve) will fit right on it.
What else can be said about the Nalgene? It just does its job and does it well. These new BPA-free tritan bottles are just as durable as the old polycarbonate ones, but without the potentially harmful leaching. Moreover, I have heard people say these new bottles do not retain odors or taste when left in a warm environment. The only way to break these bottles are with exotic explosions or liquid nitrogen (youtube for this). You can also fill it up with water and drop it off a building or slam it with a sledgehammer (while filled) and break it. However, just carrying it around for everyday use, you will find it almost impossible to break it merely by dropping it, washing it, stepping on it, or even running it over with your car.
I like these tritan bottles better than aluminum or steel because A) they are lighter and B) they are transparent. The color selection is nice, but could be a bit larger (like it was with the old polycarbonate bottles). I personally own the orange one with the white top.
The only con with this bottle is the mouth might be a bit too wide for drinking while moving (you might splash yourself). It is great for cleaning and dropping ice in, however.
Overall, the Nalgene is a legend, everyone should own one.

Great American Product, September 12, 2009
Great water bottle. I use everyday on construction site(gets beat up a lot). BPA free which is what I'm supposed to be using according to my wife(she knows everything), and it's made in U.S.A

Great waterbottle, January 8, 2009
This review is from: Nalgene Tritan 1-Quart Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle (Sports)
Great water bottle. It has a clean (clear) look to it and does not have any strong odor. It's opening is wide enough that you can clean out the bottle properly. It's survived some moderate "rough" handling.
