A Nalgene is a poor choice as your only long-trail bottle because a full liter of plastic is heavier than a smartwater-style bottle. It is a great camp bottle and a great bottle for kids who drop things. Do not treat the bottle as a filter.

Who should buy it. Car campers, kids, and anyone who wants one bombproof bottle.

Best for. Camp water you can put in a bear can

Standout limitation. Heavy when full, and it is only a bottle
