Nalgene 32oz wide-mouth bottle

Near-indestructible water bottles owners carry for years.

What owners say

  • Famously tough: owners report dropping and denting them for years with no leaks or cracks
  • One owner warns against freezing them, saying a bottle already dinged from an earlier drop developed hairline cracks and gave out when frozen
  • The wide-mouth versions are hard to drink and sip from, with owners suggesting a straw to make them practical for daily use
