I love it...it's very lightweight, carries 40 oz, keeps my water cool (unless it's in the sun) and the water tastes really good. <BR/><BR/>Cons: dents easily, not as durable as a Nalge, hard to wash (the lip is thinner than the bottle) and more expensive (23$). <BR/><BR/>I'm pretty happy with it, anyway.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477707480338232435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-77024382690991473112008-04-21T09:21:00.000-06:002008-04-21T09:21:00.000-06:00Thanks :) Please keep coming back!I have been drin...Thanks :) Please keep coming back!<BR/><BR/>I have been drinking out of my bottles for a long time too.

They do last a long time. My fiance probably has a dozen bottles that he uses for water every day.ReBecca Hunt-Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531577104733601336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-29744253723180980962008-04-20T00:37:00.000-06:002008-04-20T00:37:00.000-06:00I haven't used Nalgene bottles since I was a kid a...I haven't used Nalgene bottles since I was a kid and my mom bought them for me. When I hiked the Appalachian trail, I put some thought into the whole watter bottle issue. When I was in boy scouts, I had nalgene bottles shatter on me, so I wanted something that was more reliable. I finally decided that PET soda-pop bottles were preferable for the following reasons:<BR/>1. they are much lighter, so you aren't hauling deadweight up and down the mountains.<BR/>2. they are a quarter of the price.<BR/>3. The come with a free serving of coke.<BR/><BR/>They are also practically indestructible, unless you leave them too close to the fire. Although I did fine that the ones with the metal caps instead of the plastic ones were a problem, because if you drop the metal ones on the cap, it can get dented and then it won't seal anymore. They last 6 months to a year, which is the time frame in which nalgene starts to deplasticize/ photo disassociate anyway.<BR/><BR/>It takes about 5 or six washes to get rid of the carbonic acid taste, but after that they rule.<BR/><BR/>As for metal bottles, I once filled a comrade's Sigg bottle with kerosene, on the assumption that any metal container must be for fuel use. Luckily he sniffed before he tasted.C W Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706100504739548720noreply@blogger.com
