but I'm wondering if there are aftermarket inserts that would fit a Nalgene bottle that would snap into place of the OEM insert. Currently, the holders are only big enough for those belly buster cups that taper near the bottom.

 

 

Just wondering if anyone has any information.

A Nalgene bottle is a 1 quart bottle, typically used by hikers/outdoorsmen. They have a fairly large diameter. The older ones at least were the same diameter the entire height minus the top where the lid screws on.

I went and bought some black pvc pipe. Cut about a 2.5" tall piece and put it in the cup holder. Works great!

This is a Nalgene bottle. They are great and nearly indestructible under normal circumstances.

 

 

They do make smaller ones too though.

They are even indestructible under abnormal conditions. I bet a friend he could not break one with a 18-20oz hammer. He couldn't do it (this was on carpeted floor btw). It made some nice dents though, but still completely intact.

The Nalgenes from 8-10 years ago were awesome, some stores would tell you "stand on it" it wouldn't break. The newer model flexes a lot more, you can partially collapse the sidewalls with your hands, couldn't do that with the old ones.

 

Not saying it's bad or anything, but they changed the design a little bit. They might have done that so the bottle could handle a drop on rocks or other hard surfaces better.

I can't deform mine more than a couple of millimeters or so with both hands squeezing.

A buddy of mine tried pretty hard to break his. Hammers, bricks, throwing it, etc. He "said" he drove his Cherokee over it and didn't break.

 

I think eventually some Liquid Nitrogen did the trick . . .

I've got an old Nalgene bottle laying around that leaks (the rim is chipped), maybe I should see what it can handle...
