Ultimately, if you're just storing drinking water in your bottle, HDPE is a good choice. If you're doing anything else, Tritan might be a better one. I ended up picking this up because of these differences. Thanks!
As I've learned lately, being BPA free doesn't mean the bottles dont have other BP(X) chemicals in them.
And so, I'm done with these as the daily bottle. I've slowly been adding double-walled stainless steel bottles to use as my daily bottles.
Maybe I'm overreacting or being paranoid, but I've read enough about these forever chemicals to think that eating and drinking out of plastic products isn't that great.

Mine are stained from iced tea, but still going strong.
We have a ton of double wall/insulated metal bottles too, mostly for the car or for the kids at school.
Within 6 months they're all all warped from minor drops, occasionally with vacuum seal breaches.
The worst my Nalgenes ever got was breaking a lid loop after falling 80 feet off a crag. Still works great!
Also, after 30+ Nalgenes in 25 years, I'll also add the old school HDPE hold their paint better, so if measuring volume is important, these do a lot better than Tritan.
Granted, I don't go for extended distance or time, medium-difficulty stuff usually.

There are already 2-3 companies that offer it
I have an RTIC insulated bottle - ceramic lined - can drink coffee, rinse it out with hot water with a few drops of soap on the bottom and the bottle has zero smell
Another option is Purist water bottles which are also ceramic lined but id choose RTIC for their cheap price and pretty solid durability
If you are somewhere hot, your filtered water won't be that cold in the first place to insulate. When it's freezing you don't need to insulate it.
I have a small collection of insulated bottles, but simple non insulated plastic bottles have their place.

all these "light" versions with 2 layer are not as good as the 3 layer in heat/cold retention and weigh just as much when holding it in your hand
