CoolCanucks Blog Contest – Nalgene Grip-n-Gulp Bottles for Children Review & Giveaway!!CLOSED

Monday, May 31st, 2010

“Here at Nal­gene Out­door, we get a lot of mail from campers, hik­ers, and other active out­doors­peo­ple who love their NALGENE bot­tles. In fact, NALGENE Out­door Prod­ucts are rec­og­nized by explor­ers and adven­tur­ers around the globe.

How did these bot­tles get so pop­u­lar? Where do they come from?

How it all started…
Back in 1949, a Rochester, New York chemist named Emanuel Gold­berg devel­oped the first plas­tic pipette holder. Along with three work­ers, he began the Nalge Com­pany in a small build­ing at 625 South Good­man Street.

For years Gold­berg and his grow­ing team devel­oped the NALGENE line of state-of-the-art poly­eth­yl­ene lab­o­ra­to­rye­quip­ment: cen­trifuge bot­tles, fil­ter units, stor­age tanks.

Obvi­ously, it wasn’t the kind of stuff you toss into your back­pack for a week­end in the woods.

But there were rumors float­ing around … sto­ries about sci­en­tists tak­ing the smaller, more con­ve­nient bot­tles out of the lab and using them on hikes and excursions.

By the 1970s this “unof­fi­cial” use for NALGENE bot­tles caught the eye of Marsh Hyman (Pres­i­dent of the Nalge Com­pany in Rochester, New York).”

Nal­gene makes water bot­tles for ath­letes, hik­ers, bik­ers, and even chil­dren! This rep­utable com­pany is well known across the world and it is cer­tainly a name brand that every­one trusts!

I used to won­der why it seemed that every­one on the track had a Nal­gene bot­tle with them. Now that I have my own, I totally under­stand and can com­pletely relate as I was sent a really cool OTG — Spring Green — Every­day Bot­tle in Spring Green and love it so much!!

These bot­tles are extremely durable, BPA free (the new ones), don’t leak, and keep water or sports drinks tast­ing fresh. I’ve dropped my Nal­gene on rough rocks many times, but besides a few scratches it never has cracked or leaked!!

I was also sent some Nal­gene Grip-n-Gulp bot­tles for chil­dren to review, and they totally exceeded my expec­ta­tions!

Nal­gene Every­day Grip-N-Gulp Kids Water Bot­tle — BPA Free

•Side indents are easy for tiny hands to grasp.
•Easy clean spill proof cap. (View)
•Rub­ber­ized lid and smooth plas­tic mouth­piece make drink­ing com­fort­able.
•Supe­rior thread­ing on cup and lid is engi­neered to pre­vent spills.
•Won’t retain taste and odors.
•Tough & impact resis­tant.
•Bot­tle is made from Tri­tan copoly­ester that is man­u­fac­tured with­out BPA.
•Cup, lid, and remov­able sip­per valve are all top rack dish­washer safe
•Lid loop can be clipped to back­pack, dia­per bag, or stroller.
•Holds 12 oz.
Nal­gene Grip-N-Gulp water bot­tle for kids and tod­dlers!
Nal­gene con­tain­ers have stood up to some of the worlds most extreme con­di­tions.  The new Nal­gene Grip’n Gulp is tough enough to sur­vive being thrown from a mov­ing mini­van, spill proof enough to com­pel par­ents to blame the rug stains on the dog, and odor proof enough to allow left­over milk to go unde­tected under the couch for months. Most impor­tantly, its a great way for lit­tle kids to reach new heights.

My nieces used these all week­end at camp and they are beyond out­stand­ing!! In fact, my sister-in-law is in the midst of order­ing a bunch more of these as she said they are defi­nately a must-have and she just can­not live with­out them now!!
