Nalgene Easy Sipper

Product Information

Now you may be asking yourself, why don’t I just get a narrow mouth Nalgene instead of a wide mouth with a capCAP+ lid? And no matter which lid you choose, it’s important to wash your Nalgene lid regularly to prevent mold from growing. And lastly, we have the classic Nalgene lid. It’s simple, durable, easy to clean, and much less likely to grow mold than most other lids.

While Contigo doesn’t appear to sell replacement lids, their lids work flawlessly with Nalgene Bottles if you happen to already have them. The lineup of Contigo lids are three more great options that are cross-compatible with wide mouth Nalgene Bottles. From lids that make drinking just a little more convenient to lids that fully convert your Nalgene into a hands-free hydration system — there’s a lid for everyone. The best lid for a Nalgene Bottle is the Humangear capCAP+ lid . It adds an ergonomic narrow mouth drinking spout to any wide mouth bottle, providing the ease of drinking from a narrow mouth Nalgene while maintaining all the benefits of a wide mouth bottle. If you prefer a lid with a straw, the CamelBak Eddy+ lid is compatible with wide mouth Nalgene Bottles and has a flip-out straw with a bite valve.Like the capCAP+, the Contigo AutoSeal adds a narrow mouth drinking spout for ease of use. But instead of a screw-on cap, the AutoSeal has a self-sealing sip spout and push-button release that makes one handed drinking that much smoother.

And honestly, they’re good enough lids that it may be worth buying the entire bottle regardless (they cost about the same as many replacement lids anyway). This is one of the reasons my youngest son always chooses the narrow mouth Nalgene over the wide mouth to take to school. But I personally prefer the wide mouth because it's easier to clean and easier to put ice into. If you’re lazy sometimes (like me), water bottle cleaning tablets can make it an easy, pain-free process. The classic Nalgene lid works great and is really easy to use and easy to clean. But, if you're anything like me, you might want to upgrade your Nalgene lid from time to time and have something more than just the basic screw on cap.Similar to the AutoSpout, the Contigo AutoPop lid has a push button release. But instead of a pop-out straw, it has a pop-off cover over a narrow mouth drinking spout. Nalgene offers several lids of their own, but there are also a variety of 3rd party lids that fit Nalgene bottles and can make them even better. We’ve all been there before with wide mouth bottles. You’re taking a drink and tilt the bottle just a bit too far and water comes pouring out from around your mouth. Ultimately, the best lid for a Nalgene Bottle comes down to your own preferences and the way you use your bottle. I find myself swapping between several lids regularly depending on what I’m doing.
