Ok, I give up. What's supposed to be so great about these bottles? I've been using a larger and a smaller one for a year now and I can't tell why I couldn't use any other empty plastic bottle instead.Please enlighten me.
>>2872590it just werks
You see, plastic is actually good but only if its from a brand I like.There is nothing redeeming about Nalgene its microplastic slop like all the rest.
Is this 2007?
go on aliexpress and buy a titanium single wall for the same price. i have one with titanium cap and silicone o-ring, it works. 20 euros
>>2872604neat did they finally invent the see-trough aluminium from star trek
>>2872590Those ones are bad, what you want is the HDPE ones. The hard plastic ones are much heavier and more importantly get brittle in the cold and can shatter.
Hikers have switched to these cheap Smart Water bottle's because the threads work with their Sawyer filters.
>>2872638Hm, valid concern.
>>2872612Mfw… but also they made it.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DduO1fNzV4w&ra=m
>>2872590Nothing. Marketing scam to make you buy them.I use bottle from a detergent. Made from hdpe plastic. Can withstand boiling water. and it is free.
>>2872772>I use bottle from a detergent.I've always thought it'd be funny to clean out a bleach bottle and go around in public drinking from it, but I've never felt confident enough that I could really get all of the bleach out.
>>2872772Ok, that's funny. I was just using used mineral water bottles before, and I'm probably going back to them.
>>2872638thisalso if you're winter camping, titanium/steel/whatever has A LOT of uses
>>2872645Yeah like 15 or 20 years ago, but this is new information on /out/. SmartWater bottles are also lighter and more slender (so the same volume of water takes up less pocket space, and it can slide in and out easier than a fat fuck Nalgene).
>>2872652way cool
