Design & Usability

Pros:

• "I love the narrow mouth option."
• "Top fits securely."
• "The narrow mouth is easy to drink from."
• "The smaller circumference of the bottle's opening assists in fewer spills."
• "The narrow mouth makes it so much easier to drink from than their wide mouth version."
• "The narrow mouth is perfect for sipping since I tend to pull a Flashdance move with the wider-mouthed bottles."
• "The small mouth is perfect! I don't spill on myself at all."

Cons:

• "I have the OG wide mouth bottle and occasionally I get the overspill when going for a drink due to the large mouth."
• "I chose the narrow-mouth version of the Nalgene 1-Quart because I can't drink out of the wide mouth without spilling it."
• "The narrow mouth bottle is pretty much useless. You can’t fit most ice cubes in it, it’s hard to pour and sports powders in it, and its nearly impossible to clean properly without a tiny brush."
• "Hard to fill up sometimes because of narrow mouth opening."
• "Can’t really fit normal ice cubes in though or other things but for straight water it’s the best."
• "What made me stop using this bottle was the narrow mouth."

• "It is extremely hard to clean the thing."
• "The narrow mouth also makes it difficult to clean."
• "It’s very hard to clean it because the opening is so small."
• "The worst part is that even cleaning it with a bottle brush is inconvenient."

Material & Health
