Nalgene Wide Mouth Cantene

This collapsable Nalgene bottle is a must-have on any backpacking trip. I can think of no other more valuable and lightweight water-storage device to have and use than this one. I purchased the 48oz. one for a two-person backpacking trip where natural water sources were scarce. Along with a water purifier (Katadyn Hiker, that fit the bottle mouth perfectly), we gathered water for meal times, and stored water for the early morning breakfast. This bottle worked in conjunction with a couple of 20oz. water bottles for the actual day hiking. The bottle weighs in at a scant 2.3 oz empty, and takes up almost no room in the backpack. This is a must-have on all my future backpacking trips...five stars!

Holds water and is robust. Initially I was a little concerned about putting a plastic bag full of water in with the rest of my pack but no problems. I like the idea that the backpack gets lighter and smaller as you hike.

Hint: don''t freeze the bladder unless you plan on a two-day hike; it stays frozen /really/ well. ;-)

This is my pee bottle. On those frigid nights when I don''t want to step outside of the tent to answer nature''s call, it does its job and it does it well. It goes into the bottom of the sleeping bag so it doesn''t freeze before morning. It hasn''t yet leaked (thank goodness). After being emptied out in the morning, tt goes back into my pack where it takes up minimal space.

I can''t think of a better pee bottle for winter backpacking. :)

I own, and have exclusively used these canteens for about 10 years. When not in use, they roll/fold and take up very little pack space. Not one of them has cracked, burst, or leaked. I''ve even thrown a full one as high as I could to demonstrate its durability to a skeptical trail buddy...he still owes me 20 bucks for losing the bet.

I just received this cantene today. I filled it up and held it by the loop. (which in the picture it is a slit, but the one i received is a loop circle about a inch and a half size.) But the cantene held up good. Just from shaking and holding the cantene by the loop. I beleive if i hook it to my pack that it will not rip. But i have not used it in the backcountry yet. and when i do maybe i will update this review. but as of right now i am very pleased of the product and of GearX. i recieved it in three days. That is with the cheap standard shipping.
