Nalgene Cantene a Must-Have,
This collapsable Nalgene bottle is a must-have on any backpacking trip. I can think of no other more valuable and lightweight water-storage device to have and use than this one. I purchased the 48oz. one for a two-person backpacking trip where natural water sources were scarce. Along with a water purifier (Katadyn Hiker, that fit the bottle mouth perfectly), we gathered water for meal times, and stored water for the early morning breakfast. This bottle worked in conjunction with a couple of 20oz. water bottles for the actual day hiking. The bottle weighs in at a scant 2.3 oz empty, and takes up almost no room in the backpack. This is a must-have on all my future backpacking trips…five stars!

|Exactly as Described,
Holds water and is robust. Initially I was a little concerned about putting a plastic bag full of water in with the rest of my pack but no problems. I like the idea that the backpack gets lighter and smaller as you hike.
Hint: don’t freeze the bladder unless you plan on a two-day hike; it stays frozen /really/ well. 😉

|Nice Cantene,
I just received this cantene today. I filled it up and held it by the loop. (which in the picture it is a slit, but the one i received is a loop circle about a inch and a half size.) But the cantene held up good. Just from shaking and holding the cantene by the loop. I beleive if i hook it to my pack that it will not rip. But i have not used it in the backcountry yet. and when i do maybe i will update this review. but as of right now i am very pleased of the product and of GearX. i recieved it in three days. That is with the cheap standard shipping.
