Canada's Mountain Equipment Co-Op (Canada's equivelant to REI and EMS) banned Nalgene products and other makers of polycorbonate plastics due to cancer causing ingredient. http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/TopStor...showbyline=TrueI will not be using mine again till this is sorted out. I use mainly hydration bladders anyway. Hound

My nalgene bottle has rotting OJ in it so a bit of plastic leaching is my least worry. I think it is funny that it is usually the most health conscious who use
nalgene bottles. I guess I will have to go aluminium?

I have Klean Kanteens. I like them a lot. I'm also about to try the 38 ounce stainless steel bottle made by Guyot Designs.

I've been carrying 2 of these, 1 I take to work and the other in my LRBOB kit. The one I have is 32 oz backpacker stainless steel with stainless threads, just the cap is plastic. I've boiled water in it, it is non vac jacket and will fit water filters and steripen. http://www.guyotdesigns.com/stainlessbottles?sc=11 ![[Linked Image from guyotdesigns.com]](http://www.guyotdesigns.com/site/img/bottles/bottlesstore_guyotstainlessscaledbackpacker-LG.jpg)

I've been telling people how bad these are, they are brittle
I use a GI issue canteen, the cup fits under it and I have a pouch for it

That was my other choice if I couldn't find stainless steel bottles. I like having the one item vs the two, but each has there advantages.
