All this pee bottle talk I have to share a humorous aside.

Guess what marathon canoe racers do?

Well some start by drilling small holes in their canoe seats to aid drainage. Splash a bit of fresh water in their laps and keep going. I could never pull the trigger, tried, but I'm guessing it's an aging thing. Women seem to have an easier time of it, as some can even keep paddling while going. Another multitasking skill.

Back on topic.
The only nalgene bottles I've seen break are the milky white ones. They seem to get brittle with age.

My son-in-law competes in Iron Man contests.  Guess what he does while swimming in his wet suit?  Yup.

Ditch the metal bottles!  Can't stand them.  Don't even like them before they have been dropped and completely deformed.   Angry

Note to self:

Never buy a bottle you intend on drinking out of from GW. Wink

Not even with back-to-back treatments of bleach and boiling water?   But yeah, probably a good policy...
