Ultralight HDPE Wide Mouth bottle Nalgene

Why choose Ultralite Nalgene bottles for hiking?

Ultralite Nalgene HDPE bottles are the best choice for hiking and trekking, especially when weight is a key factor. HDPE bottles are up to 40% lighter than traditional transparent Nalgene bottles. This significant weight reduction is the main reason why ultralight hikers opt for the HDPE model. A 1-liter wide-mouth Ultralite Nalgene weighs only 109g (3.75 oz), while the equivalent transparent model weighs 177g (6.25 oz). The lighter weight is especially useful when carrying multiple bottles with you.

Ultralite Nalgene bottles are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a lightweight yet highly durable material. This makes the bottle ideal for long-term use, as they last for years even under demanding conditions.

Are Ultralite Nalgene bottles durable?

Yes, Ultralite Nalgene bottles are renowned for their exceptional durability. Unlike many other lightweight bottles, they can withstand hot water, allowing them to be used for storing hot drinks or as a heat source in a sleeping bag during cold conditions. These bottles won’t crack or warp, even when filled with boiling water. However, we recommend using water around 90°C (194°F) for safety.

In addition to durability, the wide-mouth design is practical, making it easy to fill the bottle from natural water sources like streams and lakes. The wide mouth also slows freezing in winter and makes cleaning and drying the bottle easier. In freezing conditions, it’s a good idea to turn the bottle upside down, so the mouth doesn’t freeze as easily.

The weight difference becomes more noticeable when carrying multiple bottles or on longer hikes where every extra gram counts. Additionally, Ultralite Nalgene bottles are compatible with all backpack bottle pockets, staying secure and easily accessible during your journey.

Why choose Ultralite Nalgene over traditional plastic bottles?

Although many ultralight hikers prefer Smartwater bottles for their light weight, Ultralite Nalgene bottles offer many practical advantages. They are much more durable, can withstand hot water, and are designed for long-term use. The wide mouth, practical measuring markings, and attached cap make them very user-friendly for hikers who value functionality and durability.
