      Even when you need to carry some extra water, now you can have 2 bottles instead of 3. Fits in most side pockets on packs that have them.

      Comments about Nalgene Silo Water Bottle - 48 oz.:

      I bought two of these. One leaks at the lid like crazy! The other looks like it will in no time. [...]. It's a gamble. Good luck. You can always use the broken ones for lemonade.

      Comments about Nalgene Silo Water Bottle - 48 oz.:

      I take this bottle on 3/4-full day rock climbs. 1.5 liters seems to be about the right amount if I'm already well hydrated. A piece of webbing and a few wraps of duct tape help attach this to my harness.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        I have the 32oz and 48oz bottles. I love them both. I drive a lot for work and keep the 48oz in the car. It handles being dropped and rolling around without any problems. You can pay twice the price for the pretty bottles but you are just wasting your money. There is no after taste and the lids have never leaked.

          Needed a large capacity water container for a quick trip down to Crystal Cove State Park for some backpacking, needed to pack in all H2O. Had enough water for 2 people x 2 freeze-dried meals plus coffee and water for hike back to the parking lot. Good price, slim profile fit perfectly inside pack, no complaints whatsoever -- excellent for backpacking and hiking!

            I use this bottle for everything. I actually have 2 and will own more another day because they are just the right size for me and my dog and my water filter screws right onto the top which makes everything easy for me. I love them!

              This is a fantastic product and I take great exception to the reviewer who criticized the lid. I use two of these, one in both exterior pockets of my backpack for extended trips. The lids and overall construction are extremely tough. On extremely cold nights, I heat water and pour it into this bottle and slip the bottle to the base of my sleeping bag. The lid has never failed me and I have enjoyed a toasty sleep. This is a fantastic tough product.

                Comments about Nalgene Silo Water Bottle - 48 oz.:

                OMG - this bottle is unbeatable. If you want large capacity get this 48 ouncer. Just sitting at my desk all day I drink almost two of them. Have a 16 oz that I transfer to for drinking. Easily pours from one to the other. No drips, no slips. Figure I'm saving oodles of throw away bottles from the landfill.

                If you are a hydration freak you need this jug. Tough as hell and super capacity. This is my work jug, my gym jug and my life line on hot humid hikes. Its been dropped, kicked and otherwise tormented without some much as a drop being spilled!

                  It is dry and hot here down under so larger bottles are in order. I have two of these and use them all the time for milk that I mix from powder. Cheers
