With family budgets stretched and demands on parents’ wallets at an all-time high, no other bottle on the market delivers a higher value proposition than Nalgene Outdoor. Priced at $20 or less per bottle means families can more affordably outfit each member of their household and not fret when kids do what kids sometimes do and lose or misplace their bottles. A clear Nalgene Outdoor advantage in the more expensive metal vs. plastic water bottle debate!

Sustainability continues to lead school curriculum nationwide so be sure the bottle you choose for your kids helps to reinforce a responsible lifestyle. For more than 70 years, Nalgene bottles have been made in the USA resulting in lower carbon emissions and greener manufacturing practices. Now made from 50 percent recycled content that continues to be free from BPA- and BPS. Nalgene bottles not only divert and repurpose single-use plastics from the landfill, but they also minimize their use of it in the future. This one-two punch makes Nalgene Outdoor among the most sustainable bottes on the market today.  In fact, it is projected that in just five years, Nalgene Outdoor will divert the equivalent of 482,554,816 million single-use plastic bottles from landfills — or repurpose nearly 11 million pounds of plastic waste!

The benefits of a Nalgene bottle don’t stop with being more affordable or sustainable. Their iconic design also helps to simplify the daily routine. Nothing is as tedious (or gets forgotten more often) than the daily cleaning and readying of the kids’ gear for the next day! Made of only two pieces, a cap and a bottle, a Nalgene bottle puts an end to last-minute hunt through drawers and cabinets for lost pieces and parts! And, since Nalgene bottles are dishwasher safe (even on the sanitize mode), cleaning the bottles daily is as easy as “Kids…put your Nalgene bottle on the top rack before grabbing a snack!” Have a super messy job or stuck-on smell? Of course, Nalgene Outdoor has the inside scoop on how to clean your bottle! 

Click, pop and unlock! Sipping is easy with the Kids OTF’s flow-controlled spout that then locks closed for leak-proof storage. 12 ounces is the perfect size for lunches and a refill to rehydrate after recess.
