They were fun for awhile, and I love my man-breasts, but I've moved on.

I use a Nalgene narrow mouth bottle for the <day hiking as well as boating etc. I started using a HDPE one a long while ago and now use, I beleive, a PETE version. For some reason I just like them better and I'm not one to be 'hip' and go with the flow. I use a 64oz America's Choice grape juice bottle for large capacity storage, $2.47 and came with 2 quarts of free grape juice. smirk I've dropped the nalgene, stepped on it, froze it, it IS nearly bomb proof. I've also use a knock-off nalgene and you get what you pay for; they don't last.
