I used to use Nalgenes. They're great. So long as you don't overfill 'em and then are unable to screw the lid on properly.....
they are pretty darn waterproof and durable as the others have stated. But then I got to not liking the round shape for holding miscellaneous stuff. And they aren't so terrific for stuffing into a flattened Swaygo pack. And, now that lighting is improved (a few AAs for an LED instead of tons of carbide, tip cleaners, spare felts, or D cells), I use a little Otter box from IMO. And thanks to advice from my friends here on the NSS DB, I now use a flexible water "bag."
