description Nalgene Wide Mouth (Plastic) Overview
This is the classic, non-insulated Nalgene bottle. While it fails the 'best insulated' criteria, it is included for completeness as the ultimate budget, high-capacity utility option. It is perfect for users who need sheer volume for non-temperature-sensitive liquids (like mixing drinks or carrying bulk water) and are highly sensitive to cost. Its durability is unmatched, even if its insulation performance is zero.
help Nalgene Wide Mouth (Plastic) FAQ
How much liquid does the classic wide-mouth Nalgene hold?
The classic wide-mouth Nalgene bottle is commonly sold in a 32 oz, or about 1 liter, size. That capacity is one reason hikers and students recognize it immediately.
Is the plastic Nalgene Wide Mouth insulated?
No. The standard plastic Wide Mouth bottle is not insulated, so water will warm up or cool down with the surrounding temperature.
Why do hikers like the wide mouth instead of a narrow mouth?
The wide mouth is easier to fill from streams, sinks, and filters, and it is easier to clean. It also works well for adding ice cubes, electrolyte powder, or drink mixes.
Is the modern Nalgene Wide Mouth BPA-free?
Modern outdoor Nalgenes are commonly made from BPA-free Tritan plastic. Nalgene moved away from older polycarbonate outdoor bottles during the BPA controversy in the late 2000s.
