Nalgene Bottles Are 50% Off for the REI Anniversary Sale

If you love the great outdoors, particularly camping, hiking, grilling, or sports, there’s a good chance you’re a fan of REI. The co-op is an excellent place to pick up all types of gear — I’m especially fond of going for sandals and boots, cycling-related items, and camp cookware. Whatever your reason for loving REI, if there’s anything you’ve been wanting to buy for the summer and beyond, today marks the beginning of its biggest sale of the year: the anniversary sale. You can bet that I’ve ravenously flipped through the sale catalog looking for the best deals, and I found something pretty wild. Maybe don’t report this to REI, but the sale catalog advertises up to 30% off — however, I stumbled upon a deal for 50% off all Nalgene water bottles. 

I’ve been a fan of Nalgene since I was in college and just starting to get serious about staying hydrated, and I know a ton of outdoor enthusiasts who have sworn by the brand for decades. Its water bottles are timeless — in a world with Yeti and Stanley tumblers around every corner, it’s cool and even a bit retro to be team Nalgene. If you don’t have one, you can join the movement while one of its best bottles is only $8.

Nalgene Sustain 32-Ounce Water Bottle

Nalgene bottles are the perfect example of the balance of form and function. These bottles are thoughtfully made, with no unnecessary bells and whistles — only the elements you need to safely and stylishly transport water wherever you go. This bottle is made from a BPA-free Tritan renew plastic, which is made up of 50% recycled substances.

This 32-ounce bottle has a totally leakproof screw cap and it’s dishwasher-safe, making it easy to clean even after your dirtiest adventures. I took my Nalgene to pools, campsites, parks, airplanes, on road trips, even to music festivals — not only did it never look dirty, but always kept a tight seal and rarely got scuffed. It’s one of the most durable pieces of outdoor equipment I’ve ever encountered. It’s also a seriously light option, weighing just over 6 ounces. I’ve used many water bottles over the years, and this is not only the lightest, but it feels the toughest as well.

Shoppers agree that they’re practically indestructible, with one pointing out that their Nalgene literally rolled off a cliff, and was completely fine once they retrieved it. Another pointed out that the large opening makes it easy to fill with ice, and a third said they finally had to buy a new one because they retired their old Nalgene bottle after 25 years of use, from biking to countless overseas trips. 

The REI anniversary sale only lasts until May 26, so grab a half-off Nalgene water bottle while you still can. For just $8, it’ll last for what feels like a lifetime.
