>>345423I don't like to waste time to refute arguments made by a troll.
>>345424Just in case you are really mentally challenged.
>can't boil water in a nalgene. The only valid point, but even that is possible if you don't drop the bottle into the fire. I would not recommend it though.
>can crack when freezing>can crack open from being dropped/falling (steel dents)So does a steel bottle if sufficient force is applied and I fail to comprehend how that is ever going to happen if both type of bottles are usually in/on your backpack/hipbelt or wherever. Unless you're Superman flying over Tibet/Antarctica and you constantly drop your bottles while taking a sip.
>tastes funky if left in the sunNot true. I carried juice, various teas and even Miso soup in my Nalgene and after a good wash and some days on the shelf every trace of those has vanished. Also you can see what is going on in the bottle which is always a plus. But hey, if you enjoy metallic taste in your water who am I to criticise you.
>extremely heavy compared to a single walled steel bottle of the same volume.And that is the biggest one. I hope you didn't tear your ass while pulling that one out. I want you to pick up a Nalgene the next time you cross one while you visit your local store. If that is heavy for you, you're beyond help.
The whole thing is even funnier when I remember how my /out/ friend told me he's going to change from steel to synthetic. Exactly because of those reasons.
