Likes: Beautiful color (blue). Easy to hold even with gloves on. I got these bottles as a BPA-free replacement for my Nalgene Lexan qt bottles. Here's how they worked for hiking & backpacking. Unlike ultralight alternatives, you can pour boiling water in them to make soup or cowboy coffee. They fit std water filters & fit in the half-height outside pockets on my 2 packs(Women's GoLite Quest (fits 2/ pocket); & Women's Deuter Futura Zero 40 SL (fits 1/pocket).) Use a carabiner to secure them to the bungee tie-downs or compression straps. (Else they tend to pop out as you move.) With a sleeping bag in the bottom of your pack, you may have to use a compression stuff sac to cram it all in. YMMV

Dislikes: The snap top cap came loose in my pack a couple of times; also, it was a nuisance to use and clean on the trail with thick items like frozen soups & smoothies. I replaced the tops with Camelback lids with the easy-carry loop. Regular Nalgene lids also work but provide no way of clipping the bottles to pack securements.

Likes: I have used the larger Nalgene bottles for years and find them virtually indestructible. The smaller 24 oz bottle with the carrying loop is ideal for around town use.

Dislikes: nothing
