>>1859822>>1859813I knew this board was filled with inexperienced retards but holy shit, the bar was much lower than I imagined. No one is saying to just buy enough SmartWater for an entire trip. Buy a few bottles and reuse them.
The reasons people specifically use SmartWater bottles:
>shapeThey’re tall and thing compared to Nalgene, thereby taking up less space in pack side pockets for the same amount of volume.
>weightIt’s a very easy way to shed a few ounces, and anyone claiming to not be concerned with weight has never carried a pack over a long distance (or is some kind of LARPer).
>compatible with Sawyer filtersThey have the same threads. SmartWater bottles can replace dirty water bags.
>toughCompared to Aquafina or regular disposable bottles, SmartWater are pretty rugged.
