I love my Nalgene bottle!!
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about they're nearly unbreakable water bottles...best on the market in my opinion...many imitations, but nothin' beats the real thing! They're great for camping and they're AWESOME at the gym...I can bring 32oz+ to every workout!!

I have the widemouth bottle, and a mini-wide mouth. One for home, one for the gym. I don't think I could go back to a "normal" waterbottle ever again.

Have one??? Try like 5 or 6.... they are great bottles for almost anything. I have one by my side literally 24/7. I know I need to put down 4 of them a day of water... usually more like 5-6 though :D

If you count the ones I have during both my workouts during the day...I'd say I'm upwards of 6-8!

I don't have a water bottle, but I've got a shit load of smaller ones that I use for various things.

Nalgene bottles? Toss them aside. The only thing they have going for them is the ability to buy different colors. You drink out of the blue ones, and you relieve yourself in the red ones. Invaluable for the sub-zero nights at a very high altitude, but not that great for a daily drinker.

Step up to the top dog. The Nissan Stainless Thermos.

Put ice in and forget it. Drink, fill, repeat. If you drink water all day, and you like it cold. The Nissan Thermos is the way to go. I rarely leave home without mine.

No offense 14er, but I can't see myself dragging the Nissan Thermos to the gym!! that thing looks like it'd be a workout in and of itself to drag around!

I have a couple nice thermoses... they are very good for tea and what not, but honestly I like my 8-10$ nalgenes that have been beat up and dropped and abused yet continue to live. I take packing when I go and Ive had the same ones since I a Boy Scout in middle school (ive boughten more since) so Nalgenes definately get a :tu:

Hehe... I thought that might be your response. It is a big step... the dark side... Not everyone is ready when they see the Nissan. :D

yea those bottles rock, we used to bring them into the pool area in high school during swim practice and we could get them to bounce all the way over a 25 yard pool, they were crazy, we even tried to break one by throwing it against the wall in the shower, i think someone would have a hard time breaking them by only throwing them

I think I have like 5 or 6 of them laying around. I actually did break one of them. It was my oldest one, and wasn't one of the colored lexan ones they sell now. It was the old school opaque(sp?) one. Saw a crack in it one day, pushed on it and put a 2" hole in the side of it. The only problem I have with them is on the eliptical, the wide mouths aare harder to drink out of, and I end up getting more on me than in me! But I just got one of those little inserts for the mouth, works great! :tucool:

I just bought a couple off Ebay. One for the office, one to travel around with. It'll be nice to always have cold water... my trusty Aquafina bottle works, but is lacking in its ability to keep water cold.
