Comments on Laelle's review of Bottles
BPA removed from Nalgene
I had been using Nalgene bottles as an alternative to purchasing water in disposable plastic bottles for quite awhile - then I did a research paper and presentation on the damaging health effects of plastic products that have the potential to leak BPA and I put them all aside for a couple of years. I purchased a stainless steel bottle from Klean Kanteen which I love, but it does tend to leak a bit if I don't screw the lid on tight enough. It's also very wobbly now that I've dropped it on the ground and dented it so many times :-)
What's great is that Nalgene has reformulated the plastic they use to make their sport bottles, and it no longer contains BPA. Even better, if you purchased any of your old Nalgene's from REI, you can bring them back and exchange them for the new variety (or a stainless steel bottle variety if you prefer - who knows what new chemical they will discover leaching from hard plastic in the future!).
