We have like 10 of them, so it's hard to know other than by seeing that the REI label is almost gone, so it is probably at least 5-10 yrs old. It was full of water, too, so that was fun to mop up.

I never saw a Nalgene break until today! I have a couple aluminum insulated type of cups for camping - pint glasses that we use for coffee in the AM and beer in the PM. They work great for that.

Nalgene bottles are a full litre They have a comparable liter/quart "big mouth" option. Similar dimensions, but twice as heavy (empty). Overkill for "water", but good if you want hot to stay hot or cold to stay cold. That's why I like the cups for camping, but don't really want/need them for daily use.

Scrapr ★ Posted May 17, 2019 Share #12 Posted May 17, 2019 If you can't get your HydroFlask (Bend Or based!) maybe try Sili Pints? Silicone glasses. I have one or 2 but don't use them much. I think they are Bend, or based as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about weight too. I have used Nalgenes since the early 90s and have not had a problem with them. 41 minutes ago, Square Wheels said: I don't understand that foreign talk.
