Wide Mouth 32oz
Nalgene Wide Mouth 32oz Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The Nalgene Wide Mouth is the workhorse bottle that needs no introduction. Tritan copolyester construction is BPA-free, impact resistant, and doesn't retain flavors. The wide mouth fits ice cubes and makes mixing electrolyte drinks easy. Simple, reliable, and nearly indestructible.
Who Is the Nalgene Wide Mouth 32oz Best For?
Camp hydration and general water carrying where bottle cage fit isn't needed. If that describes your riding style, the Wide Mouth 32oz should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Hydration category alongside 9other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 180g and $14, the Wide Mouth 32oz is 121g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Katadyn BeFree 1.0L Water Filter at 59g). It's also the most affordable option available.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $8 per 100g — excellent value for money, making it a great option for riders on a budget.
What We Like
- +Virtually indestructible Tritan construction
- +Wide mouth for easy filling, cleaning, and ice
- +Graduated markings for measuring water and mixes
Watch Out For
- −No insulation — contents match ambient temperature quickly
- −Won't fit most standard bike bottle cages
- −Screw cap requires two hands to open
The Bottom Line
The Nalgene Wide Mouth 32oz earns a 4.1/5 rating. It's a solid performer that does most things well. Virtually indestructible Tritan construction is the standout feature, though no insulation — contents match ambient temperature quickly is worth considering before you buy.
