Review on πŸ’— Nalgene 32oz Wide Mouth Bottle in Pink Bloom by Chris Pollreisz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty and functional, reliable Nalgene brand

Cute design and the bottle itself is made from durable Nalgene material. There are measurement markings in ounces and milliliters on the back. This is the same type of bottle I've trusted for years in everyday use, as well as hiking and backpacking in New England. The only reason I'm buying a new one is because I lost one of mine. I prefer this more classic style of Nalgene (wide mouth bottle) to some of the newer narrow mouth bottles and/or straws. It's easier to clean and more compatible with some of my hiking gear. I pair this type of bottle with an insertable silicone splash guard to make drinking easier. I only give four stars because the paint already had a scratch when I received the item. I'm sure the paint on the design and measurement markings will wear off over time, as has my experience with these bottles in the past. But I use my bottles daily, in addition to a lot of hikes where they wear out quite a bit. After a few years of use, the paint is peeling off quite a bit, the surface of the bottle is covered with light scratches and the plastic part looped around the neck that holds the cap when unscrewing it sometimes breaks. But I can live with the color peeling off and having to buy a new cap every few years because the integrity of the bottle itself is most important to me and I find the bottle itself to be incredibly durable.

Pros
  • Great overall features
Cons
  • So-so
