Nice! Learned a lot about this HDPE model vs the Tritan plastics because of this listing. HDPE is a softer plastic that is less likely to crack when dropped, and leaches less than Tritan does. It's also much lighter than Tritan. However, it will stain much easier and will retain smells easier than Tritan. It will also deform easier than Tritan will - this can be a boon, as in altitude changes, in which HDPE will suck in instead of creating a vacuum, or a negative, in that Tritan holds its form much better under heat than HDPE.
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!
Since then, I've got the bottle, and it is indeed extremely light. Some people complain that the water tastes plastic-y, but I ran it through the dishwasher when I got it and haven't had that issue.
Most notably, though, I believe this bottle is 30oz, not 32oz. It's marked as such on the exterior measuring scale, and it seems slightly smaller than the other bottles (from memory). Not an issue for me, but worth noting.
