In 1960, Nalgene scientists, who were also adventure enthusiasts, one day hit the trails with their lightweight laboratory bottles, creating a new era for reusable water bottles for travelers, athletes, hikers, and everyday users like us. In 1980, Nalgene made history by becoming the official bottle brand for the US hockey team. They manufacture water bottles and storage containers of many shapes, sizes and colors. Nalgene also sells accessories like bottle caps, sleeves, easy sippers, and bottle filters.
