I found nalgene type wide mouth bottles BPA free for $2 At Big Lots.

Nice deal, might have to wonder down to my local Big Lots and see if they got any.

Im ignorant....what is the advantage of these bottles?
I see that they are popular.....I assume they are made of some kind of material that resists leaching into the contents. Is that the draw to these? |

I can't comment on the integrity of those posted, but the real brand are damn strong. I worked in a sporting goods store and was having a hard time convincing people to spend 8-9 dollars on a water bottle. Got one to use as a "test" to show people the strength. I would fill it full, take it out in the parking lot and throw it as high as I could in the air. Sucker would just bounce. I would then dump out half the water, and throw it as hard as I could on the pavement. No problems ever. |

Is that the draw to these? The genuine Nalgene are about $9 new retail, but........ +1 They are tough +1 They fit the quality water filters and they do not leak ETA I learned about Nalgene from Arfcom and I'm so addicted now |

Asking for opinions on the internet and then getting upset for getting them is like stirring up a hornets' nest and then getting pissed because you got stung.

Is that the draw to these? they are tough i once drove over a partially filled one in my driveway with a full size pickup. the bottle got a bit of a discolored "mark' or line, kinda like when you bend plastic or something, but it did not break and doesnt leak. was good to go afterward. |

I got some genuine Nalgenes at Bog Lots this summer for $2 each. 650ml, came full of Crystal Light lemonade packages. They have a kind of odd top, a flip-up drinking spout kind of thing, which does not stay closed if you drop the bottle. Still s great deal for two samolians.

Thanks for the answers....looks like I may need to scoop one of these things up for the truck....and for hiking.....and maybe a few for camping

Is that the draw to these? Good general usage water container. A lot of portable filters and accessories mate up to Nalgene threads. |

Did they have any other size Nalgene bottles there ?

I have Nalgene bottles that are well over 10 years old that have been all over the mountains and woods with me. Never had one break. My MSR water filter threads into the Nalgene bottles as well.
