I carry Gatoraide bottles with duct tape wrapped around them.. Storage for the tape not protection for the bottle.
I gotta tell you I bought one of those coffee presses that fit inside a nalgene.....They make great coffee...
End of an Era
I took my filtered water to work today in my Nalgene Unbottle (same material as Platypus).
Need to find a new use for my Nalgene Carcino - er - polycarbonate bottles.

Mmmm, Starbucks on the trail. Gotta check that coffee press out! Now if I could only figure out how to get my cream not to curdle I'd be set.
In my humble opinion the durability of the container is worth the extra couple oz.
don't forget that the new crop of nalgene bottles can also serve as a fashion statement and not just a function. you can get one in almost any color to match yer' backpack or poncho! VERY NICE!
i use a nalgene bottle daily at home and work, but on the trail it's a gatorade bottle or empty soda bottle. oh yeah, i will use them on winter camping trips though for reasons that others have already mentioned.

my thoughts exactly dino!!! can't wait!!!
one thing to be said for nalgene bottles is that you don't have to worry about loosing the lid. that is kinda' nice. misplacing a small soda bottle top can be tragic!
hey skidsteer, how about dueling banjos???

You can fill it with water, add an adhesive to it, and then attach to a ULH as said hiker passes by. The sheer knowledge that they have something attached to them that they see as unnecessary AND heavy will cause them to burst into tears as the fight to get it off their back.
I suggest pulling out a pot, some veg oil, and popcorn kernels at this point. Sit back, pop some corn (little luxuries like this will make him struggle harder) and enjoy the show.
If that doesn't work you can trip him with your hiking stick/pole/leg and proceed to make fun of him, possibly blaming his tennis shoes for lack of balance instead of boots.
= sarcastic rant
No, I don't think so.
I'd be afraid my boobs would fly off my chest during the finale.

Admit it, Skids, this is you in drag.
Before the Aqua Fina bottle came out I think Schweppes Tonic water was the only one with the larger mouth. I had to use them 4-5 years before I replaced them.
I've also used the flimsiest 16 oz water bottle as an a fuel container which lasted an entire trail.
Soda bottles can't be beat. Replace them in towns when you get a cold one.
