Description
The Nalgene 500ml Wide Mouth Ultralite HDPE Water Bottle is a half-litre hiking bottle (the 16oz model) made from lightweight high density polyethylene. It weighs 56.75 g, stands 16.5 cm tall and is 70 mm in diameter. The wide mouth takes ice cubes and closes with a 53 mm cap, a smaller cap than the 63 mm one on the 1L and 1.5L bottles.
Who it's for
This is the bottle for the walks where a full litre is more than you need, and the second bottle that rides beside your main water. At 56.75 g it weighs a little over half what the 1L Wide Mouth Ultralite does (106.25 g), so it suits anyone packing light for a short day out.
Capacity and fit
- Capacity: 500 ml (Nalgene's 16oz bottle)
- Weight: 56.75 g
- Height: 16.5 cm
- Diameter: 70 mm
- Cap: 53 mm
At 70 mm across it is slimmer in the hand than the 89 mm one-litre bottles. The 500ml Wide Mouth Sustain in Tritan Renew has the same height, diameter and cap size and weighs 88.5 g, so going HDPE takes 31.75 g off a bottle this small.
Drinking and refilling
A wide mouth on a small bottle means ice cubes drop straight in and the bottle is easy to clean. The lid closes on continuous semi-buttress threads that keep it sealed tight in your pack, and the loop holds the lid to the bottle when it is off.
53 mm, not 63 mm
The mouth on this bottle takes a 53 mm cap, one size down from the 63 mm opening on the 1L and 1.5L wide mouth bottles. So the 53 mm replacement Loop-Top lid is the one that fits, and the Easy Sipper, which is made for the two bigger bottles, does not.
