I was climbing in Spain and someone I was giving a lift to left their nalgene in my hire car. I discovered this in the airport when doing the final once over, so guess I've sort of inherited it. (Ludwig, if you happen to be reading this you are welcome to it but long shot I know).

So, it's red it says nalgene everyday on it. Looks newer than my old ones which I should turf out.

In reply to Max factor:
squeeze it by hand, the bpa free ones will noticeable flex, whereas the old ones are much much stiffer.

In reply to Max factor:

if you come down with testicular cancer in 50 years of using it daily.

I think the 'everyday' version came on the market after the BPA thing. In doubt check the number in the triangle on the bottom, the new BPA free resin version has a 7 and 'other' on the right of the numer.

In reply to ice.solo: Testicular cancer? How on earth do you 'use' yours?!

Thought there was only a (slight) cancer issue when subjected to high temps, especially when put in dishwashers or used for boiling water. fwiw I'm not planning on throwing away my stronger-feeling pro-cancer nalgenes.

In reply to Max factor:

if you run it over with a truck and it breaks, you know its bpa free

In reply to steve456: Having asked that I've just remembered what I've err... filled them with in the past.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (April 18, 2008) – In response to
consumer demand, Nalgene® will phase out production
of its Outdoor line of polycarbonate containers that
include the chemical Bisphenol-A (BPA) over the next
several months, it announced today. Nalgene’s existing
product mix, including the recently launched Everyday
line, already features a number of containers made from
materials that do not contain BPA.

So 'everyday' means no BPA.
