Nalgene 32oz Oasis Bottle

Holds as much water as the normal round, traditional Nalgene but fits much better in the side pockets of my backpack and doesn't bulge into the backpack as much, thereby reducing the inside volume of the backpack.

I've been using a couple of these for the last year in place of my traditional round Nalgene bottles.  Their design fits better in the side pockets of my backpack, especially my 28L Marmot day pack.

Even though they looker smaller, they actually hold as much water as the traditional round Nalgene but their design minimizes the bulge to the inside of my backpack caused by the traditional design.  The spout is also smaller which is convenient for my Steripen water sterilizer. I do not have to carry the extra part that fits over the larger mouthed round Nalgenes.

Lastly, these canteens are lighter:

• 134 grams / 4 4/5 oz  for the canteen versus 184 grams / 6 1/2 oz for the round version

For the person looking to shave a few ounces but doesn't use the recycled, thin plastic single use water bottles, this is a good option to consider.

The Nalgene Oasis is too expensive at $16. They used to be like $8 a year ago. First they disappeared for 2 years, they said it was supply chain issues. Now they restock them at twice the price. Sounds like a little market manipulation....sad.

Anyway, for slightly over what they a charging now you could get a pretty nice brand name stainless steel bottle.
