Our verdict

A large collapsible canteen that stands up when full and folds or rolls when empty. It is a flexible container, so it will not hold a rigid shape like a bottle.

Overview

Nalgene makes this canteen from a multilayer film that is stiff enough to stand and soft enough to fold or roll when empty. A gusseted bottom lets it stand, and a loop-top cap closes a wide opening.

The reason to buy is large water capacity that packs small, with an opening wide enough for ice, filters and cleaning. The limit is that it is a flexible film, so it holds shape only when full and needs care to avoid punctures.

Who it's for

Campers, hikers and backpackers who want to carry a lot of water and fold it away afterward will use the size and the wide mouth. Those who want a rigid bottle that rides in a cup holder, or who need insulation, should choose a different design.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Collapsible for packing
  • Wide mouth for ice and filters
  • Free of BPA, BPS and phthalates
Cons
  • Flexible, not rigid
  • Weight listed in an odd capacity field

Performance notes

The multilayer film gives stiffness when filled and flexibility when empty, and the gusseted bottom is what lets it stand upright. The loop-top cap and wide opening speed filling, filtering and cleaning. The listed temperature range sets limits for hot fills and freezing storage.
