Klean Kanteen bottles...I'm a convert...

* Waits for KTown to come in and let us know about an LRG x Nalgene collab.

I received a Nalgene for Christmas a few years back, but only bring it to work. They're too big for me to take to the gym (don't fit in the cupholderthings on treadmills/ellipticals).
 
i carry a klean-kanteen, no harsh plastic chemicals tht could possibly leak into water. the metal keeps the liquid cooler. plus I think that some nalgenes youcant carry anything but water in.

Being a rower. We would be on the water rowing for two hours straight, you can't exactly walk to the water fountain during breaks, so you absolutely need something like this to carry a cooler of water with you.

word. i also row, and i'd venture to say that 3/4 of our team has nalgene bottles (so i'd say thats like 30 people out of 40), most of us havemore then one too. in niketalk fashion, i've started to sticker bomb one of mine, but its all rowing or rowing related stickers
 
In last month's Time magazine there was an article about bottles and which ones were safe to reuse.


http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1722266,00.html

There it is online but in the actual magazine they had a chart listing benefits/disadvantages of each type of bottle.

You might want to change that bottle, Dirty.
Reusable water bottles merit scrutiny as well. Like many rock climbers, Scott Belcher used to carry a Nalgene water bottle made of polycarbonate, a sturdy, clear plastic. As an associate pharmacology professor at the University of Cincinnati, he knew that polycarbonates contain bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic hormone that mimics estrogen. What he didn't know was if or how much BPA wound up in his water. In experiments, he learned that trace amounts of BPA do seep into room-temperature water. But he was startled to find that when the containers were filled with boiling water--a common practice for climbers in cold climates--the BPA released 55 times as fast. His research, published in January in the journal Toxicology Letters, spurred alarm among not just water drinkers but also parents: 95% of baby bottles, which are routinely filled with hot water to make formula, are made of polycarbonates.

Scientists debate the effects of BPA, thought by some to damage reproductive systems when ingested in excessive amounts. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates bottled water, has declared PET and polycarbonate bottles safe. Nalge Nunc, the Rochester, N.Y., company behind the Nalgene brand, attests to the safety of all its bottles--while also making clear that it offers products made of other materials (see below). The safest bet? Water from the tap--in a glass.

given that plastic baby bottles have been used for decades now with no ill effect......I think I'm ok..
beside...I fill my bottle with cold water.

if you're gonna get scarred over every single think you're ingesting...you might want to take a closer look at what goes into your food and where itcomes from.
 
back in college, everyone had one, so as the sheep i am, i got two...

i was drinking two liters every 4 hours.

Oy, what about when you're cleaning the bottle (I'm assuming you use hot water to clean)? The nalgene bottles probably are safe enough,but, speaking strictly for me, I'd rather not even risk it and just go with the metal ones. Either way, they're both great alternatives to plasticbottles (which i used to kill endlessly...and reuse endlessly

) asthey end up being cheaper in the long run and are environment friendly. Comparing one to the other is kinda ridiculous

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/16/business/worldbusiness/16plastic.html?_r=1&oref=sloginCanada Likely to label plastic in Nalgene bottles toxic

A person with knowledge of the government's chemical review program spoke on the condition he not be named because of a confidentiality agreement. He said the staff work to list the compound, called bisphenol-a, or B.P.A., as a toxic chemical was complete and was recently endorsed by a panel of outside scientists.

A public announcement by Health Canada may come as early as Wednesday but could be delayed until the end of May. Canada would be the first country to make a health finding against B.P.A., which has been shown to disrupt the hormonal systems of animals. The department's decision was first reported in The Globe and Mail, a Toronto newspaper, on Tuesday.

Also on Tuesday, a draft report from the United States Department of Health and Human Services' National Toxicology Program endorsed a scientific panel's finding that there was "some concern" about neural and behavioral changes in humans who consume B.P.A.

No wonder Dirty is so darn sarcastic

Just wanted to point out that you're talking about "relative expense" in a community where people will spend 300 dollars on a sneaker and 400on a hoodie with a skeleton on it.
 
In high school we dropped one of these of the 4th floor full of water, needless to say it didn't break.

Yea I was thinking these things were going to be like $60 or something for a water bottle but then find out it's only about $10-$20

. This threadmade me buy a sigg bottle. It's expensive going through water bottles every week.
 
The Nalgene miiight give you cancer over a very long period of time, but it is much, much, much safer than refilling a deer park or similar type of plasticbottle.
I drink alot more water with my Nalgene as well.

I actually have four 32 ounce Nalgene type twist cap bottles I got from Finishline for .99 cents each, and a 24 ounce Nalgene with the "squeeze" top?
 
They're great.. But I have consciously refused to buy one for the mere fact that everyone and their momma had a Nalgene bottle at my university..
 
i never need to carry a water bottle usually, being the lazy person that i am i go to the water cooler at work 15+ times a day. they are a very goodsubstitute for a flask though.
