How long have you had your current water bottle?

I've been using a reusable 36oz/1L plastic "flip lid" bottle from Bezos's market - this is my third one (sadly replaced almost on a yearly basis) since I keep accidentally breaking the lids.

It practically comes everywhere with me - walking, cycling, in my backpack. This lid is starting to crack at the hinge and the latch though, but don't really want to replace it with the same thing again.

How long have you had you had your current bottle, and how are you finding it so far?

Back in 2009, I went disc golfing with a friend and while walking back to the car, I saw a dark blue nalgene in the grass. I was poor and in college and had always wanted a nalgene bottle, so I took it.

Today at work, I filled that dark blue nalgene up with water and drank the whole 32 oz over the course of the day.

its been a great water bottle for these past 14 years.

I have nalgene bottles older than my kids!

I have bought 5 in my lifetime, the first 3 were lost (stolen) over the course of several years of use. Even though they had my name in sharpie, stickers making it clearly unique... they just seemed to get lost at events with lots of people. Then I bought two bright pink ones and somehow have not "lost" them since!

I promise I didn't steal yours! It was completely bare haha
