Nalgene – Robust water bottles for leisure, sports and military

The American brand Nalgene was launched in 1949 in the US state of New York and has since become one of the best-known manufacturers of water bottles and drinking vessels in the world.

In addition to a wide selection of shapes and designs, the manufacturer has placed great value on the indestructible character of the bottles since its founding years, making them a reliable companion for every outdoor use.

How to use Nalgene bottles on the go

In addition to bottles in different sizes, which can be selected according to the space in your backpack and the planned activities, the most important thing to consider is choosing the right closure. The manufacturer relies on individual solutions and multi-closures, where the contents can be removed via a fold-out suction nozzle or a classic screw cap. The former is helpful for drinking while moving, while the classic closure principle makes it easier to pour out water.

Models with suction nozzles can be locked, meaning that a clip must be put on before packing the bottle so that the contents are not accidentally released. As additional accessories, we recommend purchasing robust straws from the manufacturer, which allow for family-friendly drinking and no one has to open the bottle to drink. For larger trips, we recommend purchasing transparent containers and special bottles such as hip flasks, which allow food and drinks to be transported safely and, thanks to scales, enable clean dosing on the go.
