Nate. As a Nalgene enthusiast, this video came to great interest to me. It was a shock that the Nalgene broke. Tears were shed. Such cruelty towards bottles will not be forgotten. Thanks for your service.
Great video dude! I think another thing going in Nalgene's favor is their lifetime warranty/guarantee. If a bottle ever breaks, you can send them a message with a picture of your broken bottle and they'll send you a replacement for free. Sorta reminds me of the old L.L. Bean 100% satisfaction guarantee, back before too many people started abusing the policy...
.. Nalgene for the win by far .. have about 24 of these over 25 years old , , only issues are the lid strap breaking ,, but lid works fine still ,,and replacement lids are available ....The older opaque bottles are made of different materials ,, tougher than the new "see through" type... can endure drops over cliffs with sharp rocks ,, can handle boiling water AND will expand when frozen ( which make them usable for cold storage in an ice chest) ... For the smaller drinking lid there is a cap from Humangear call Cap-n-Cap with a reduced threaded opening that works well ...
Thank you! So I just measured the capacity of the smaller YETI, and if I fill the YETI completely to the brim, it holds 30 fl oz. If I fill the Nalgene to the brim, it holds 38.5 fl oz. Unfortunately I broke the larger YETI I have so I can't measure that one at the moment :(
Still using the old school lexan Nalgenes from 1993. I’ve had to replace the lids a couple of times but I can’t kill them. Smoke grey with the old school mountain lion logo. The new plastic doesn’t seem as tough as the lexan they used to use.
Having had the yeti before, be careful not to use the dishwasher with it. One cycle and it warped the lid, making it no longer water tight. I couldn’t even drink from it without dripping water everywhere.
I’m team Nalgene. I like my other Yeti products, but in this category they can stay in their lane. I’ve seen Nalgene bottles fall off cliffs and live. I’m surprised this one died at 3.5’. 😊
Ah thats a hard question. I dont think either one would do it very well, but probably YETI because the plastic sides and cap is thicker. But really an insulated bottle would work better for that
@@Natemitka thanks for the reply I already have a aluminum yeti love that thing works great but unfortunately at work they only allow clear bottles so was looking for something clear that kept it cold longer so I wouldn’t have to keep adding ice inside thanks.
I would choose Nalgene because it made in USA and the price is cheaper than Yeti. All Yeti products are always overpriced. 25 bucks for just a plastic bottle is ridiculous, dammit.

Hah. Thanks Eleanor! I'm will also continue to be a Nalgene enthusiast following this video.
😂
Made in USA an cheaper for the win

Thank you! That's a great point about the warranty too
Can’t dethrone the king
Wow, this channel is a hidden gem, subscribed!

NALGENE WINS
This video is funny because i came here looking for a Yeti review but left impressed with Nalgene. 😂

I agree.
Wow! That’s a lot! How many are you currently drinking from (using)?
Pre 2008 ones contain bpa. Nalgene recommends you replace them. Just a heads up.
@@MottoGrotto-ht1ygI was just thinking, bpa just made things better back then
@@diyaasaeed7959 they’re definitely more durable than the new ones, I agree. It’s just a matter of how much weight you put in the bpa health stuff.
Real winner, take the yonder cap, put it on the nalgene. Perfection
The Yonder cap fits on a Nalgene?!
nice review. did you ever measure the acutal ounces that the yeti holds? it seems like the capacity is way off based on the specs.
Thank you! So I just measured the capacity of the smaller YETI, and if I fill the YETI completely to the brim, it holds 30 fl oz. If I fill the Nalgene to the brim, it holds 38.5 fl oz. Unfortunately I broke the larger YETI I have so I can't measure that one at the moment :(
What are the weights on both?

Tritan plastic might not be quite as tough but it's a safer plastic for water storage and still quiet strong

They're no longer made out of polycarbonate.
Is the Yonder made in the U.S.? I didn't think so.
It’s not!
Which one would keep water cold longer?
Ah thats a hard question. I dont think either one would do it very well, but probably YETI because the plastic sides and cap is thicker. But really an insulated bottle would work better for that
@@Natemitka thanks for the reply I already have a aluminum yeti love that thing works great but unfortunately at work they only allow clear bottles so was looking for something clear that kept it cold longer so I wouldn’t have to keep adding ice inside thanks.
Can you tell me more about your hydration mixes, please? I currently use Celsius drink mixes.
Long time winner 🏆
new place (4:30) looks nice
Which one starches more easily?
Thanks for the thorough rundown 👍
Awesome review!! Thank you
Glad to hear it!
Have I been saying Nalgene wrong my whole life?
Are you a malk guy as well?
Great comparison
Great video, thanks - I'll have to pick up a yonder.
I have the 34 and 50 oz yonder
Does the HDPE Nalgene shatter?
No it's flexible
No, but it can potentially "pop" or pierce. It's made out of the same material as those white milk jugs.
If I was stuck in the desert like the guy in 144 hours, I’d hope to have a Nalgene
Now i'm craving a camp margarita
Have both, Nalgene is a better water bottle.
Easier to clean (less things to clean), lighter, cheaper, not made off-shore…

Yeti fits in more car cup holders...
Nice video🎥
Made in USA and cheaper next! Nalgene all day everyday
i’m shocked that the Nalgene broke. I’m actually just gonna count it as a freak accident.
Nahhh... Try Elemental Bottles! Bottles and Tumblers are the best!!
They are huge they take up so much space for not a lot of liquid
They seem to take up way less space than the Nalgene due to their slender design.
@@sirenspear with a big bulky lid which is like 30% of the products size ..
nalgene will always be superior i absolutley hate them but you cant beat a nalgene lol
