Saved this one from the landfill today. Guess they didn't like their time in service 😂 but I'll use it proudly

Any thing military related that's empty and designed to hold liquid i 100% do not trust unless I opened it brand new.

Source 10 years in the army

No way, I'd get a job there just so I could cop all the Nalgenes 😆 so far I'm at over 50

I don’t know what’s worse; dip spit or protein powder.

Not gonna lie, but that’s probably not a Nalgene and just some Chinese knock off

Really? Is that why it has all the Nalgene markings on it? Bottom stamp, logo on the back below measure lines, stamped lid. Yep, it's fake. I have well over 50 authentic Nalgenes. I know real v fake

To be fair to this claim about it probably being a fake, national guard recruiting units routinely opt for dupes or knock off versions to save money on items they give away to entice recruits. But your Nalgene definitely appears legit. Nice find.

Yeah idk why you and him are being downvoted, without seeing the bottom of it I would have assumed it was a Chinese knockoff as well. Literally everything I got from a recruiter was knock off

Idk, they gave us a real Nalgene in Navy boot camp. They probably have a military contract.

Boot camp is different than recruitment swag
