Item # 605500

REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Nice size for repackaging fluids

Comments about 1-oz. Round Bottle:

I've started repackaging lots of my camping fluids (e.g. REI SPF 50 Sunblock lotion, Campsuds, bug repellant, etc.) into these little 1 oz bottles and it has saved a lot of weight. I like to purchase the 4 oz or 8 oz bottles of a product (better price value), but it's pretty silly to bring the whole bottle on a backpacking trip. 1 oz worth is usually more than enough, and the lighter weight feels better in my pack.

When I squeeze an empty bottle, I can hear the air escape. That's a little disconcerting, so I don't recommend its use for thin fluids. But for thicker (more viscous) fluids like shampoo, soaps, and lotions, it seems to be fine. I haven't seen it leak yet. The cap doesn't seal as well as a genuine Nalgene bottle cap. I would be willing to pay a little extra if a Nalgene cap was offered on this 1 oz bottle.

REI description is probably incorrect

Comments about 1-oz. Round Bottle:

I find it unlikely this bottle is actually polyurethane as REI claims it is. About 7 months ago I wrote them a polite note bringing this to their attention, but it appears to have been ignored. I base my opinion on Wikipedia's description of what polyurethane is used for, plus an observation that a plastic bottle company on the Internet carries perhaps 1,000 bottles, none of which are made of polyurethane. I suspect the bottle is actually LDPE (low density polyethylene).

Comments about 1-oz. Round Bottle:

A great backcountry or travel item. Perfect for shampoo, liquid soap, personal lubricant, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, mouthwash, etc. A great size: holds plenty for a short trip, but disappears in a pocket or your toilet bag. Nozzle lid is very convenient and prevents waste. Not having to remove it means that you won't lose it or have to find a place to set it down or accidentally spill out the whole bottle.

Like some other reviewers, I also wish the lids sealed better. However, some individual bottles seal better than others and I just test them in the store before I buy. I can always easily find ones that seal air-tight with a good, firm twist. Just squeeze it near your ear and listen for a hiss. I have never had a leak in use. The Nalgene brand products will seal better, but I don't think they make one this slender, or squeezable or with a nozzle lid. A trick for any plastic bottle is to squeeze it a little before sealing it so there is a slight vacuum inside. This works especially well for air travel since low air pressure at high altitude encourages leaks.

These are durable. I have some that are many years old and still going strong. They can be labelled with a "Sharpie" permanent ink marker or a label maker.

If you are concerned about the Airport TSA carry-on liquids restrictions, these will really help you get the most out of your limit.

I consider these a travel essential.

Comments about 1-oz. Round Bottle:

I have been collecting a couple of these each time I go to REI and have used them for everything. I keep several of them filled with hot sauce, syrup, and olive oil; the fluids I use most. I also used them with camp soap, hand sanitizer, and sun block.

So far the only leakage I have had was when I filled them up and didn't take into consideration the elevation of the Sierras causing them to expand slightly. The syrup leaked a little but not enough to worry about.

Comments about 1-oz. Round Bottle:

I noticed the same thing in the store that John did. After I opened and closed the lid, I never heard air escape again. But it would be prudent to squeeze the bottle and test for a bad seal before packing. I used it to carry soap this weekend, and it didn't leak. It worked as I imagined it should. A pop-top is much more convenient in many cases than a screw-top.

Comments about 1-oz. Round Bottle:

To save weight, we use for carrying small amounts of Tom's toothpaste and Bronner's soap. Works great. Sometimes need to clean the squirt of the cap before trips (just use a safety pin); will clog sometimes while sitting in storage.
