r/Nalgene

The Nalgene Tritan is the greatest, most reliable water bottle I have ever used. The size is small enough to not make it heavy when full, and it is extremely light when empty. The strap on the lid is extremely durable and is AMAZING to hold with my arthritis. The straw is very simple, and unlike every waterbottle I have tried before, when the straw is fully closed, the bottle WILL NOT spill. Not to mention how easy it is to clean.

I ordered a HDPE 1 liter bottle from a supposed legit retailer in Hong Kong. It arrived today and I gave it a quick first wash and the logo and markings started falling off when I rinsed the mild dish soap off.

I'm not concerned this is a fake bottle. I checked on Gemini with the labels, packaging and it seems to think it is legit and the labels coming off are common on the HDPE bottles.

I can't find many mentions of this issue online so I wanted to ask here.

I have a 16oz Nalgene that I use all the time, but I was trying to find a even smaller one, to put in my fanny pack when I go out for quick errands.

I bought a 12oz kids bottle, and a wide mouth cap, and this is the result! The 12oz bottle is actually 13.5oz (400ml) when fill up to the pink rim. You can get an extra 1.5oz if you fill almost all the way.

My husband thought it looked really funny, this shorter chubbier Nalgene.

A very random find at a German flea market 🤷‍♂️😅

I wanted to post this picture as part of a thread about glow in the dark Nalgene bottles. I couldn't seem to figure out how to do that, so here we are. Both bottles were charged with a Nitecore SRT-7GT flashlight at max shining up through the bottom of each bottle for thirty seconds, blue first.

The other post was about how well they glow or not, as the case may be.

Am I using the flair right?

So I made a paracord grab handle. Now I don't have to worry about breaking the lid strap.

Hello everyone! I recently invested in my first Nalgene. I wanted something lighter to carry while walking/jogging/running. I took it on its first outing today and found it gets a tad slippery with sweaty hands. So I began a search for a sleeve with a hand strap and sadly have come up short. I just can’t believe this isn’t a thing.
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on a sleeve with a hand strap?

I did find one on Amazon but the prints/colors are not my vibe at all.
