Nalgene makes some of the most popular reusable water bottles on the market. They’re simple, durable, lightweight, and inexpensive — what more could you want? Well, a few things actually. While Nalgenes are solid, they’re far from perfect. The biggest…
Nalgenes are great water bottles, with one glaring flaw — they’re pretty terrible at keeping drinks cold. If you fill your bottle with ice water on a hot summer day, the ice will be fully melted in a couple of…
When I decided I wanted to start drinking more water, I’d originally just buy a couple 24 packs of water bottles every week. Being a single dude at the time (and missing recycling day more than once), the bottles quickly…
