Water Bottles

When I go hiking in Europe, I usually take simple plastic one-way bottles form the supermarket. They are cheap, I can have two so that the weight is balanced left and right, I can have 2×0.5L, 2×0.75L, 2×1.0L, or 2×1.5L. When I think they are dirty, I just return them in a store and buy new ones.

Going to Nepal, there are a few important differences:

  1. I might want to fill boiling water in a bottle and have it in my sleeping bag for the cold night.
  2. Nepal deals by far not as good with waste as Germany does.

Hence I want a bottle with the following characteristics:

  • Temperature Resistance: Boiling water does not damage the bottle
  • Watertight: I don't want to have a wet sleeping bag.

Material

  • Glass: It's just too heavy. And it can break too easily
  • Plastic: Super lightweight, durable. Might have problems with boiling water.
  • Metal: You can use it to boil water inside! But keep in mind that you might need to touch it.

Features

  • Material
  • Size of opening: The wider, the easier it might be to fill. But the easier you spill.
  • Insulation
