Nalgene Easy Sipper

Product Information

Similar to the AutoSpout, the Contigo AutoPop lid has a push button release. But instead of a pop-out straw, it has a pop-off cover over a narrow mouth drinking spout. Nalgene offers several lids of their own, but there are also a variety of 3rd party lids that fit Nalgene bottles and can make them even better. The best lid for a Nalgene Bottle is the Humangear capCAP+ lid . It adds an ergonomic narrow mouth drinking spout to any wide mouth bottle, providing the ease of drinking from a narrow mouth Nalgene while maintaining all the benefits of a wide mouth bottle. If you prefer a lid with a straw, the CamelBak Eddy+ lid is compatible with wide mouth Nalgene Bottles and has a flip-out straw with a bite valve. And lastly, we have the classic Nalgene lid. It’s simple, durable, easy to clean, and much less likely to grow mold than most other lids.

We’ve all been there before with wide mouth bottles. You’re taking a drink and tilt the bottle just a bit too far and water comes pouring out from around your mouth.

Details

Does what it says on the...well... bottle. Have you ever been really thirsty, opened your Nalgene and poured it too fast into your mouth - the water escapes from the sides andpours down your front? No? I must get some manners! If you have though - this will stop that happening. No need for pesky self control. We like that it can stay fitted in the bottle so once its fitted there's no further fiddling with anything, until you want to clean it. The lineup of Contigo lids are three more great options that are cross-compatible with wide mouth Nalgene Bottles. And no matter which lid you choose, it’s important to wash your Nalgene lid regularly to prevent mold from growing.

From lids that make drinking just a little more convenient to lids that fully convert your Nalgene into a hands-free hydration system — there’s a lid for everyone. Ultimately, the best lid for a Nalgene Bottle comes down to your own preferences and the way you use your bottle. I find myself swapping between several lids regularly depending on what I’m doing. Just keep in mind, the lid strap isn’t designed to support the weight of a full bottle. But you can make your own strong lid straps that don't break. While Contigo doesn’t appear to sell replacement lids, their lids work flawlessly with Nalgene Bottles if you happen to already have them. This is one of the reasons my youngest son always chooses the narrow mouth Nalgene over the wide mouth to take to school. But I personally prefer the wide mouth because it's easier to clean and easier to put ice into.It fits Nalgene bottles but probably lots of others that have the same screww fitting - although don't quote us on that. It's also much harder to clean Nalgene wide mouth bottles. Just yesterday I threw my wide mouth Nalgene full of caked on 3 day old smoothie into the dishwasher and it cleaned it perfectly. You can't do that with a narrow mouth Nalgene. For being active, the Eddy+ is still my go-to straw lid, but for the office or lazy days around the house, a straw without a bite valve is a lot easier to drink from. And honestly, they’re good enough lids that it may be worth buying the entire bottle regardless (they cost about the same as many replacement lids anyway).
