NalgeneWide Mouth Bottle-Grey-0.5L

Crazy as it may seem, I needed a bottle I could safely fill with hot water and use alternatively as a hot water bottle when camping and not worry about leaking. It's to early too say if it performs as advertised but it is robust and (so far) no leaking filled with hot water. I'm happy with the purchase and the postage was quick and excellent customer service from seller.UPDATEIt is definitely serving it's purpose (for me) as a hot water bottle, so when I go camping it can be used as intended and also form part of my water containment kit whilst keeping my overall pack weight down. Really pleased with the performance of this bottle and intend to purchase the 1ltr version.

You can really taste the lack of BPA

Really for this price you should get a 1L bottle

This broke (cracked) after a few weeks, after a minor fall (from my hands to the floor). I remember the days when Nalgene was supposed to be nearly indestructible - or maybe that applies to the larger models only? Anyway I expected more.

This is a great water bottle. It feels substantial and not at all flimsy or cheap. There is no taste of plastic which can happen with cheaper bottles. Unlike water bottles designed with narrow top's this one is easy to clean. There is nothing to get grubby over time - because of it's very simple design. I considered other designs but dismissed them because I suspect they will were either flimsy or fragile or might break because of moving parts or become difficult to keep clean. This can take a few knocks or be dropped without worry. I do not use this for running and I'm sure runners out there would realise this type of bottle is not really designed to be used while moving. For everyone else who can stop or pause their activity to take a drink then this classic water bottle is a great choice. Looks great in blue...

Bought this bottle for work and hillwalkingWide mouth makes it good for refilling in rivers/streams and easy to add energy tablets/powders to your drink, but can make it a bit more difficult to drink from on the move, might end up with a bit of a wet chest. Seen you can buy adaptors for it though to make the mouth narrower, haven't tried these but could be useful.Iv found it very useful as a refill bottle, keep a sports bottle in outside pocket of my rucksack when walking as easy to drink from and a Nalgene bottle in my back to refill it from, as the Nalgene bottle won't leak in my bag like a sports bottle could.Screw top is very secure and bottle is lightweight but solid.Seems to be pretty robust and think it will last a long time.Haven't noticed any plasticy taste from it either so that's a bonus.Has volume increments up the side too, usefully if you are wanting to keep track of how much fluid youv take on board. These seem to be durable too and don't think they will be the kind of markings to rub off easily.I bought the 500ml size and it's about the size of a pint glass.

Good quality plastic, however, a little disappointed that measurements are on a wraparound sheet.

I avoided these for years but now I'm a convert, good, water bottle, the best things about it are:--You can pour hot drinks into it and it doesn't shrink.-Nice wide lid which is sometime interchangeable with bladder systems-Strong-You can get a dish brush in to clean itI would check which size is best for your bladder system if you intend on using it for this as the lid size change with bottle volume.
