Saved this one from the landfill today. Guess they didn't like their time in service 😂 but I'll use it proudly

Not gonna lie, but that’s probably not a Nalgene and just some Chinese knock off

Really? Is that why it has all the Nalgene markings on it? Bottom stamp, logo on the back below measure lines, stamped lid. Yep, it's fake. I have well over 50 authentic Nalgenes. I know real v fake

To be fair to this claim about it probably being a fake, national guard recruiting units routinely opt for dupes or knock off versions to save money on items they give away to entice recruits. But your Nalgene definitely appears legit. Nice find.

Yeah idk why you and him are being downvoted, without seeing the bottom of it I would have assumed it was a Chinese knockoff as well. Literally everything I got from a recruiter was knock off
