16oz Wide Mouth Tritan Bottle

I forgot to mention in my previous review that I purchased the Clear with the Red Cap. I wanted to say that this is such a nice classic look and I like being able to see the color of the liquid in my bottle (like when I’m carrying apple juice or something else for lunch or on a hike). (Please bring back the Clear with the Red Cap or any color cap for that matter! I don’t see it listed as of today 2023-01-17 and I don’t see the 16oz size on the customize page.) Also it goes without saying, but the Clear also makes it easy to tell when the bottle is clean after using it to carry beverages. I’d also like to reiterate one more time how handy the 16oz bottle size is. Awesome for hikes bringing water and other drinks (more than 16oz of juice or something else is too much for me and 16oz is perfect for many powdered drinks), awesome for lunches, awesome for work, carrying in small bags, etc! It’s been difficult finding a quality small capacity water bottle and I want Nalgene and potential buyers to know that this is an excellent product!

I have been using the “16oz Wide Mouth Tritan Bottle” every day for 6 months. It is my FAVORITE water bottle! Carrying two is great for short hikes! While the 32oz is awesome, I love being able to balance the load by using 2 16oz bottles. The measurements on the side come in handy at work when I need to measure out 8-10oz of water for cocoa. The small size of this bottle also fits perfectly in my mini backpack. It’s leak proof without fancy gaskets or closures, which also makes it incredibly easy to clean. An all around amazing product!

This bottle is great!

First, let me say that I have been using Nalgene bottles since the mid 70’s and I LOVE them. I own more Nalgene bottles than any 10 hikers need.
Recently I bought 4 of the 16oz. Clear Wide Mouth Tritan Bottle. I’ve noticed something interesting when I was filling it with 16oz.(2 cups), when preparing a freeze dried meal. The measurements on the side of the bottle ONLY go to 14oz. I then filled the bottle using a 2 cup measuring cup and Yes, the bottle does hold 16oz. if you fill it to within a 1/4″ of the top.
I thought this was strange consisting my 32oz. and 48oz. bottles all have marking up to the 32 and 48 oz. I even compared it to an old 16oz. wide mouth bottle and they have a 16oz. mark. It seems Nalgene has made these new bottles the same height, as the old, but they reduced the diameter slightly.
I’m just not sure why they did this. If you make a 16oz. bottle with measurements, why would you not have a top marking be a 16oz marking.

I had this water bottle for 4 years and now I’m here to replace it. Best water bottle ever. Perfect size when you’re able to refill frequently.
