With a new style of water bottle popping up every year, Which one have you stuck with?
Ya know, I've got Kleen Kanteen (and/or some similar-ish alternative brands or knock-offs) - your basic metal water bottle with a well fitting screw-in top/stopper ... and at that, various types of tops/stoppers. And you know what ... I didn't buy a single one of 'em. People seem to lose 'em or give 'em away every once in a while ... I think I've got a half-dozen or more of 'em now. Some of the cheap knock-offs have crud threading and tops - avoid those. But all the rest seem perfectly fine. And I'm guessing they're BIFL. Though not totally indestructible, they're pretty dang durable. "Biggest" issue I've had, and it's only minor. sometimes I drop the dang thing onto a hard surface (rock, floor, cement, whatever) when it's got fair bit of water in it, it dents the bottom a bit, then it doesn't sit flat. Well, that's an easy fix - some gentle whacks to the bottom with a rubber mallet, and then that's again quite flat enough and all is fine. And given how durable they are, I'd say I probably have more than a lifetime supply of 'em at this point. So, yeah, ... *I* should probably start giving some of 'em away at this point. And, you know what? For the most part I don't find a lot of plastic water bottles that folks are giving away that are in good shape. Though there are some good/better quality ones (a friend did give me one nice quite large one, I believe Nalgene 1.5L, I sometimes take and use it, but especially with that weight when relatively full, I'm always concerned I might dro and crack it), I think a lot of 'end up broken (e.g. dropped and cracked) - so that's probably why I see far fewer of those being given away - I don't think they last as long/well ... at least with heavy use and the occasional accidental drop or the like. There's also the flexible bladder type bottles. I have a very small number of those, and they may be handy for some things, but I don't think they're that durable - so I wouldn't call 'em BIFL, though some may be significantly better and longer lasting (better quality) than others. I think I'd probably only use 'em for lighter more casual use, and probably wouldn't be inclined to rely heavily upon them.
