Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:

I drink a lot of water during the day, usually 2-3 liters a day and this bottle was a perfect size for that. I bought two of these so it works great. Use it for work, hiking, and really long trips.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:

I bought one of these after returning two of the polyethylene bottles because they smelled so bad, and the smell apparently transferred to the contents when I tried to use them.

After using the new bottle for a couple of weeks, I went back to REI and bought another one.

The bottles rotate through the freezer, and seem to be very durable and serviceable. I go through the entire 48-oz in one session at the gym, and it's easier to stay fully hydrated with these than smaller bottles I've used previously.

I like the clarity of the material and the widemouth design, both of which make it much easier to swab the inside with a bottle brush and ensure no buildup of crud or fungus.

The only question mark I had was the flimsiness of the tether, but I figured that was ok because REI carries replacement caps/tethers in stock. However, to my surprise, the tethers have held up ok, too.

I'm not a hiker or outdoors guy, so I can't comment on the weight of the bottle vis-a-vis other materials, but for my type of casual use I would highly recommend this one. Ralph L. Seifer, Long Beach, California.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:

This is my 4th Nalgene bottle, the others are still in service and all 32oz including 2 pre PBA Nalgenes. This is an awesome IDEA, but poorly executed one 20ft fall caused a catastrophic failure resulting in my bottle shattering.

Maybe its just these 48oz bottles that are bad now-a-days but I've had my old bottle dropped from 180ft faces in Joshua Tree without a problem, now 1/10th of the drop causes failure in these new bottles.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:

This water bottle holds a ton of water and makes it really easy to hydrate throughout the day, especially in class and during practices. I wouldn't use it for running due to the huge size, but the durability is pretty terrible. I had it for about 3 months and dropped it maybe a couple times off of my bed when I was sleeping and nothing really happened, other than a few scratches. But recently, when I was at the airport, I filled my bottle up maybe a third of the way up and dropped it on the way to the terminal; the entire bottom shattered and I had to trash it. Such a bummer because it is such a great size. I think I'm going to try the polyethylene version. It doesn't look as cool as these ones but hopefully its more durable.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:

It's a Nalgene and it is big.

I carry this thing around with me all day, every day. I love it. Only issue is the common wide-mouth spill-on-your-lap-if-you-aren't-paying-attention inconvenience, but whatever...

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:

i bought a clear bottle. Love the high capacity and simple design. I also have the 32oz, but I use this more often as it carry enough water for me to drink while at work. I use it every single day. I pair it with the Guyot Designs Splashguard for ease of use.

I used to spend tons of money buying cases of water bottle. After purchasing this bottle and a brita, I have not bought another case and it's been 3 months!

I haven't had any bad experience with breakage. I dropped my bottle a few times when full or half full and nothing happened.

Comments about REI Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Water Bottle - 48 fl. oz.:

I love the capacity of this water bottle, it makes it easy to get my fluid in for the day. Unfortunately I have broken 2 bottles. In both cases the bottle was more than half full and it was dropped on cement with the bottom impacting first. It shattered as though it was glass. I am going to buy two more, just because I love the capacity.
