Nalgene Wide-Mouth

If you are looking for a simple, affordable, easy to use bottle, look no further than the Nalgene Wide-Mouth. This bottle is also one of the top-ranked plastic models we tested. It's no wonder this classic bottle is ubiquitous in the outdoor world. It is durable (unless dropped from great heights), light, and easy to use and clean. The mL and ounce measuring markers on the side are an added bonus for backcountry cooking and for keeping tabs on your hydration. Because these bottles have dominated the market for so long, many backpacking accessories have been designed to fit the Nalgene perfectly - think water filters, insulators, and backpack water bottle pockets. It also comes in an endless variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, so you can easily customize your look.

Not everyone wants to drink from plastic, though. If that's you, look elsewhere. However, for those who spend time in the outdoor space, it's hard to imagine a more classic piece of gear than the Nalgene. It works well
