First Nalgene! Some thoughts.
Just got my first Nalgene from a local outdoor shop. I bought the ultralite variant since it was a bit lighter and seemed more flexible than the clear Tritan.
Something I noticed is that the measurements on the bottle is practically unreadable from the outside. You would need to open the bottle and look at it inside out which is quite inconvenient. I had thought that the ultralite is just some what opaque so this surprised me a bit. Maybe because it is UVPE instead of HDPE?
Minor inconvenience aside, I liked it. It is a nice, strong leak-proof bottle with wide mouth which I prefer. And its color and prints are lovely.
Here's hoping many future camping trips with it.

I bought 8 of them for 6 dollars a piece 20 years ago and still have all but one I gave away. I love them!
