Comments about Nalgene Cool Stuff Wide-Mouth Tote:
This is an update to my previous review where I said the stitching came apart.
I returned the original one I purchased and received a new one. The stitching on the new one is 100% better and has not come apart. I must have had a bad one the first time around. I use this several times a week.

Comments about Nalgene Cool Stuff Wide-Mouth Tote:
Nalgene could do a much better job at designing this. I use mine several times a week to keep a beverage cold for hours so I'm not complaining about the insulating abilities. My chief complaint however is that the top most stitches come undone giving it the appearance that it will be falling apart soon which of course it should not.

Comments about Nalgene Cool Stuff Wide-Mouth Tote:
bought this tote to replace an outdoor research bottle sleeve i had for many years. used the Nalgene sleeve to hold a one liter bottle on my pack's hip belt during a six day bacpack in BWCAW. noticed the neoprene began tearing at the corners where attached to the belt webbing loop on day two. not the durability and quality i have expected from Nalgene.

Comments about Nalgene Cool Stuff Wide-Mouth Tote:
These things are really useful if you have a lot of nalgenes and can just leave it on one and designate it as your thermos. They do work, and a nalgene of hot cocoa or tea will stay warm for a long time. I've taken them up Mt. Rainier and Granite Peak.
Some pros: made of neoprene so they don't waterlog which is nice given you're apt to spill at some point. Not bulky aside from the extra weight.
Some cons: About as much as another nalgene. The attachment loop is plastic rather than nylon like an older one I have. The plastic will eventually break.
One last caveat. If you are doing a lot of backcountry in the winter, or big mountains, get a fully insulated carrier with a top.

Comments about Nalgene Cool Stuff Wide-Mouth Tote:
I thought these would be a good insulator for the Nalgene bottles, but they must be stitched too tightly, because when we put the bottles into the totes, they ripped (2 out of 3) or started to rip (the 3rd one) the fabric around the side stitching.

Comments about Nalgene Cool Stuff Wide-Mouth Tote:
My son has been using one of these for about a year for soccer practices and games. Insulates nicely for the 3 or so hours that it needs to. He doesn't want anything bulky or doesn't want to carry an ice chest - so this is perfect. Am picking one up for my daughter's sports as well. Great idea, but Nalgene needs to work on the fit as it is a little tight.

Comments about Nalgene Cool Stuff Wide-Mouth Tote:
This "fancy bottle holder" is better left on the store shelves. It fits very poorle arouns the top of the bottle, taking the bottle out is a chore.The only good think about this is [*] water bottle fit well.I would not recommend this to anyone but a casual walker.
