Nalgene is, objectively, the most autistic water bottle money can buy. First off, they're big as fuck, and normal people will think there's something wrong with you for needing to carry that much beverage at one time. They're also impractical, heavy, and most cup holders (both car and backpack) can not accommodate them. That means you'll need to keep them in the main compartment of your bag, where the condensation will assure all your possessions end up sopping wet. Plus, the wide mouth means if they get knocked over, you've just spilled an enormous amount of liquid all over everything - yes, I know they have a narrow-mouth version, but that shit is hard to both get things into and drink from. Finally, they are not useful for physical activity, if you're moving AT ALL when you try to drink you'll be treated to liquid running down your chin and a great big stain on your shirt.

The ONLY environment I accept them in is camping, or some other rigorous outdoor activity/work place where you will be away from a convenient water source for an extended period of time and the durability may actually be put to the test. Otherwise, you look like a sweaty tryhard neckbeard who's either oblivious to what others think of them, or trying desperately to portray a rugged, outdoorsman image and failing hard at it

Avoid.

I use a contigo too, both insulated and non. They work OK but seem to break easily and I'm increasingly concerned about drinking from plastic, even if it's BPA-free.
