The Lexan plastic is virtually indestructible and can withstand temperatures from –200F to 200F.

It comes in every color imaginable (plus these are printed with the Backcountry.com logo) so you can accessorize with style, and holds 32oz of hydration so you can stay energized all day.

Reviews:
Gold Standard
No two backpackers will ever have the same gear set-up. Some prefer to go lightweight while others pack along the luxury pad. Some prefer the stability of heavyweight boots while others go for trail shoes. When it comes to the Nalgene Lexan bottle, however, it is hard to find a pack without one stuck in the pocket. There is a reason for that. Nearly indestructible and super light, why would you use anything else? The Nalgene Lexan bottle can also stand up to some serious heat. On those cold nights, heat up some water, fill up your Nalgene and toss it in your sleeping bag. Mmmm, hot water bottle. I recommend against getting yellow. It makes everything look like pee and frankly it is not as funny as you think it would be.
Great bottle.
Taste-free, impossible to break, etc. A great bottle. I find the side-measurement labels helpful for purifying the correct amount of water.
Great way to stay hydrated
This water bottle is great, it doesn't leave a bad aftertaste in the water. It holds a lot and is very durable.
excellent all around
Best in class for liquid holders in outdoor/hostile environs. But they can also be used to hold other things as well. In caving, the contents of your pack get dragged and smacked into everything. And everything gets muddy and wet. So I use smaller sizes for batteries and GORP mix/power bars. Never have to worry about crunched food spilling in pack. Never have to worry about batteries getting wet and rusting. Or the same for my leatherman which I put in there as well.As for the colors, well, it can assist when keeping track if which one is drinkable liquid versus other items. Ever leave no trace when nature comes calling? You definitely need to remember which bottle that was.
Beats narrow
What can you say about something as simple as a water bottle? Narrow mouth bottles were on sale at another retailer but I'm glad I got these wide-mouths. Katadyn Hiker Pro has water bottle adapter attached to outlet hose that does not fit any of the narrow mouth bottles we brought.
