When you don't have space/ability to carry two bottles, but are a *heavy drinker* (badumtis!)I've been using 48oz Nalgenes for almost a decade. Great to have a few in the rotation.Love the titans. 2.5/6 of these gives you a gallon. I carried 3 of these in a backpack for a backpacking trip. I know the se aren’t going to leak. There’s Nalgene and then there’s everything else.This water bottle is perfect. It’s great for on the go due to the handle. It also helps me drink more water each day. It’s very easy to clean , and the mouth piece is wide which helps to scrub it. Love itThree time owner of this bottle so got some things to say!SHORT SUMMARY:MADE IN THE USA! Support companies that we know pay fairly and create US jobs!To begin with, this bottle is perfect for the outdoors! The wide mouth makes it easy to fill from a mountain stream or lake, and large size = less fills = less hassle with iodine tablets. The shape of the bottle makes it easy to slip into a backpack bottle pocket and it will be good for many hikes and backpacking trips to come as the durable plastic will last for years in an outdoor environment. If you want it for everyday use it will work just fine BUT CAN BE ENHANCED by my suggestions below.ON TO SUGGESTIONS making it THE PERFECT bottle for the outdoors and everyday use:LONG REVIEW:I have LOVED nalgene products for as long as I've loved the outdoors (my whole life), and this bottle is the one! I purchased one of these a long time ago and had the same issue as many reviewers. I dropped it once when it was all the way full from waist height and it shattered the bottom. I was so sad, but nalgene can do no wrong (and I don't really feel it was nalgene's fault because it is a big heavy bottle when full, the plastic IS generally pretty durable, and there is a limit to materials engineering when manufacturing a bottle you can get for only $10 - $12) so I ordered another. Took that one to nepal to hike Base Camp Everest, took it all over the west coast camping for a couple years, lost it. I was devastated.I just got this bottle again and decided to go all out this time!I paired it with a:- RUBBER BOOT (to protect from scratching it up and should keep it from shattering if I drop it. Mine doesn't fit perfectly but I'm sure you can find one that does and mine works well enough doing what it's supposed to do, not making the bottle tip or anything, if you don't mind a imperfect fit)- STRAW LID (makes it more practical for everyday and easier to drink from if you're on the move)- PARACORD HANDLE (it's a big bottle and can get heavy and awkward to carry when all the way full. Plus the plastic ring on the handle has a loophole where I can attach a round key chain which in turn has a tile sticker on it (details to come))- TILE STICKER TRACKER (not necessary at all, but I tend to lose things, and my nalgene water bottle has a lot of sentimental value to me since I take it everywhere with me EVERYDAY as well as hiking, backpacking, etc. I also stick stickers from all the places I go on it, so I really don't want to lose it. I attached the tile sticker to the back of a round key ring with my college insignia on it, and the key ring to the paracord handle)These additions make it AWESOME for everyday use. I should be able to keep and use this bottle for years and eventually retire it to my other nalgene bottles that carry to many memories and are to precious to risk carrying around everyday and losing. This is a simple timeless bottle that will last for your whole life if you want it to and not dent when you look at it like another bandwagon, made-in-china brand of water bottle I know, cough Hydro*lask.All the additions to the bottle minus the college keychain can be found on a public list on my profile called"The Perfect Water Bottle". I will also add a keychain that can be found on amazon that I believe will fit the tile.Also attached to the review is a photo of the kitted out bottle (pretty rugged looking if I do say so myself) and me with this exact bottle (the old one) hiking BCE!OK, long review over. GET THE BOTTLE! :)I bought three of these water bottles and they are way better then my hydroflask and yeti's. The plastic is very durable, fits nicely in my backpack when I go hiking, easy to carry around at work, and it's simple to clean. The opening is very wide so I've spilt some water on myself a few times, but don't let that be a reason not to buy this water bottle.This thing is great quality and very easy to clean due to how wide the cap is. However, it's pretty wide and has no handle, so it's a bit awkward to hold. That's coming from a guy who has been able to palm a basketball since I was 15. I bought a rubber handle for it and it works better now.Bought my first 48oz one in 2004. Recently started hiking with the family (2 adults and 3 kids (4-8yr)). I have a hiking pack with most our supplies including 5 of these nalgenes. Most hikes its enough. Sometimes it's still cutting it close. These things are champs though.I like this product because it holds 48oz of water and does not have any weird plastic smells or taste when drinking from it.I already bought 3 of these, not that I would need that many, but there is one only problem, the bottles are so nice and useful that once you brake them you simply need to get the same one again. And that is the problem. Because you can fit in 1.5l of liquid, when full they are pretty heavy and if you drop them when they are full, it is almost sure they will crack!Great bottle-absolutely no taste of plastic whatsoever.I've tried water bladders for carrying water for bushcraft,and to be honest,even the top quality ones make me retch because they always have an aftertaste.I bought the 1.5 litre bottle,and not only is it excellent,it is long,not wide,which makes it excellent for carrying in a side pouch,or in my main bag.If anyone is interested it fits perfectly into the DD Bergen 2017 rucksack side pocket,with room to spare for a few other items.I use a Klean Kanteen 1.2 litre steel canteen,and can boiler water in it,and with this it gives me all the water I need for a good day or two away.Excellent price for a great product.Fantastic quality.Buy one!should be cheaper for what it is, hence the 3 starsMy girlfriend loves it, very big, very wide.One of the best water bottles. Doesn't leak, doesn’t leave a weird after taste! It’s worth the price as it also holds a lot of water!
