The Nalgene 32 oz Wide Mouth Bottle is a lightweight, single-wall Tritan Renew plastic everyday-carry bottle with a wide mouth for easy filling and cleaning. It's BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, features measurement markings (mL & oz), and comes with a leak-proof lid. The bottle is temperature-rated -40°F to 212°F, weighs just 6.25 oz, and is made in USA.

Designed for hiking, gym, work, and travel, it trades insulation for portability and simplicity. The wide mouth accommodates ice, powders, and ramen prep. Its durable impact-resistant construction survives drops and doubles as a waterproof container. Unlike insulated bottles, it offers no temperature retention—best for frequent refilling in cool environments.

Ideal for: budget-conscious everyday hydrators, backpackers prioritizing weight, office/gym users, and anyone seeking a no-frills, nearly indestructible bottle. Lifetime warranty backs durability.
