Nalgene 32 oz Narrow Mouth Bottle (Amethyst)
A 32 oz Nalgene you can drink from on a bumpy bus
A 32 oz bottle with a 38 mm narrow mouth for spill-free sipping and a leak-proof lid, in BPA-, BPS- and phthalate-free Tritan Renew. Dishwasher safe, with mL/oz markings, made in USA.
Our take
The wide-mouth Nalgene gets the attention, but try drinking from it on a bumpy bus and you'll find out why this one exists. The 38 mm narrow mouth cuts the splash. You still get a full quart in a tough, leak-proof, impact-resistant Tritan bottle, just easier to sip from on a trail or in a moving vehicle.
It's dishwasher safe and widely reviewed. The small opening is the trade. Ice cubes don't go in easily, it's harder to scrub out, and many water filters are made for wide-mouth bottles. It isn't insulated either, so water warms up in the heat.
If you drink while you move and don't filter, this is the one we'd buy. If you filter water, get the wide mouth. Check the price before you go.
Who it’s for
Hikers and road trippers who drink on the move and want fewer spills than a wide-mouth bottle.
Skip it if
Skip it if you use a water filter or like lots of ice. A wide-mouth bottle is easier to fill, clean and pair with filters.
