Nalgene's were initially created for lab work. We used Nalgene wide mouth bottles for fresh water sampling and storing lab samples all the time, and then suddenly they were everywhere, made with a firmer plastic and used for drinking water. I saw you can get the squishy plastic Nalgene bottles on their website though. The squishy plastic version are pretty much indestructible. I've run over a couple sample bottles with the Ford.

HDPE in the squishy ones, the hard ones were polycarbonate (Lexan) and then changed to Tritan when food containers started avoiding BPAs
