Description
The Nalgene Wide Mouth Cantene Collapsible Water Bottle is a soft, collapsible canteen for camping that folds down for storage when empty and stands upright on a gusseted bottom when in use. It comes in two sizes here: 1.5L, which weighs 63.75 g, and 3L, which weighs 78 g. Both have a 63 mm wide opening with a Loop-Top cap.
Who it's for
Campers who want extra water capacity that collapses for storage when it is empty. It is a camping classic, and it is extra capacity that weighs next to nothing: the 1.5L is 63.75 g, less than half the 134.75 g of the rigid 1.5L Silo Wide Mouth Ultralite bottle.
Capacity and fit
- 1.5L (Nalgene's 48oz Cantene): 63.75 g, 33 cm tall, 165 mm across, 63 mm cap
- 3L (Nalgene's 96oz Cantene): 78 g, 31.75 cm tall, 241 mm across, 63 mm cap
The 3L is the wider of the two rather than the taller, and it has a hand-hold cut into the top corner for carrying. Doubling your water adds 14.25 g. Both sizes have a gusseted bottom, so they stand upright instead of flopping over.
The body is a multilayered material, built for stiffness and strength yet soft and flexible enough to collapse.
Drinking and refilling
Both sizes have a wide opening with a Loop-Top cap, so the Cantene is quick to fill and the cap stays attached while you pour. The cap closes on continuous semi-buttress threads that keep the seal tight.
Looking after it
Wash the Cantene by hand after a trip: very warm water with a few drops of bleach, the cap on, a good shake, an hour to stand, then a thorough rinse. Let it air-dry completely with the cap off before you fold it away, and store it somewhere cool and dry.
