The good kind. Cuz they're better.

Do you like the hard Lexan plastic or softer white plastic?

Hard ... less sloshy.

And what size is handiest? 32oz?

Roughly the size of your bladder ... that way you don't over hydrate.

And.... wide mouth or small mouth?

As above ... match to size of own mouth.

Seriously, it doesn't really matter. A reasonable size is all you need, and hard or soft only matter if you are *very* limited on space (soft packs

Valid point but the soft ones (though more puncturable, if that's a word) comform better to odd sized spots in your pack.

Assuming your trip is one-bladder long. OK, water is heavy. Otherwise....

Small unless you're adding soup. Wide spills.

Also - you will pay a very substantial premium for Nalgene because of the brand name. Go to a dollar store (Buck or Two, Cheap as Chips, or whatever it's called where you are) and you will get something perfectly useable at a fraction of the cost - and who cares if it gets nicked or if you leave it in the dunny in Pleiku.

actually a wide mouth is better if your using a water filter. Many of the filters screw on to the wide mouth bottles.
