Nalgene’s 32-ounce Wide Mouth Thrill & Motion line puts new color pairings on a familiar bottle format. The current listing describes Tritan Renew construction and U.S. manufacture, with a wide-mouth cap rather than an integrated straw system.

The shape is part of the equipment plan

Nalgene lists an 8.25-inch height, a 3.5-inch bottle diameter and a 2.5-inch cap diameter. The listed empty weight is 6.25 ounces. The maker describes the bottle as leakproof, dishwasher safe and BPA/BPS free.

These are current manufacturer data, checked November 2, 2026. Gunfire has not independently conducted a leak, drop or cleaning test on a sample from this line.

Capacity does not answer the fit question

Our assessment is that the useful comparison begins with the bag pocket, carrying arrangement or storage space where the bottle will go. A capacity label alone cannot establish whether it fits. Include the cap and the actual filled bottle when assessing comfort and pack balance.

The color range may make an individual bottle easier to recognize, but it does not establish better durability or a different liquid capacity. Those are separate questions from appearance.

A simple product deserves precise claims

This preview describes the named Thrill & Motion listing rather than every Nalgene wide-mouth bottle ever made. Older examples can have different materials and documentation. A later hands-on review should identify its actual sample and testing conditions. Browse more product coverage and outdoor equipment.
