How long have you had your current water bottle? (lemmy.one)

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?

Nalgene for life. Lifetime warranty, BPA free, and durable as all hell.

Nalgene sounds like something you shove up your bottom to cure piles

My only problem with them is that the little rubbery plug in the lid trap water. The trapped moisture is perfect for black mold to grow.

Gross. I used the widemouth, so there's now rubber gasket to trap water.

I have a free one I got from the Library that's also BPA free and seems to last forever. I've had it for... 7-ish years maybe?

I bought a Silo once, like twenty years ago. Dropped it on asphalt and they replaced it. Dropped that on asphalt and they sent me two. Dropped one of those on concrete and they sent me two more, one in Tritan and one in polypropylene.

Apparently I'm not allowed to not have a Nalgene. I lose them all the time, but never for long.
