Nalgene

Born in the labs of upstate New York, Nalgene began not as an outdoor brand but as a happy accident of science. In the 1940s, chemist Emanuel Goldberg created lightweight, shatter‑resistant lab containers — gear tough enough for experiments and, as hikers quickly discovered, perfect for the trail, refusing to crack or leak.

That unofficial field‑testing sparked the brand’s evolution: Nalgene shifted from lab benches to trailheads, becoming synonymous with durability and simplicity. Naglene bottles are known for their near‑indestructible design, with the signature Naglene Wide Mouth bottle fitting most filtration devices and ice cubes. Naglene bottles are made of Tritan Renew — BPA‑ and BPS‑free, 50% recycled, tough, lightweight, safe, and backed by a lifetime guarantee.
