Re: [at-l] Water bottles
Good feedback from Woodelf and Felix; I should probably reconsider. My
Nalgene bottle weighs 3.7 oz, versus 1.7 oz for a pop bottle (all
one-liter), for a difference of two ounces. I know that there are 6 oz
nalgenes out there, but that seems way excessive. I agree that every
two ounces should be carefully scrutinized!! These things are always a
balance between weight, comfort and safety.
