Product Description

The Nalgene OG Story

In the 1970s, conservationists began discouraging the disposal of cans and glass bottles by burning and burial in wilderness & recreation areas, and some places began forbidding such materials by regulation. Nalgene products became popular replacements among backpackers for storing consumables; the light, wide-mouthed high-density bottles were more secure than plastic bags and were used for both liquids and solid foods.

Originally, wilderness travelers purchased Nalgene products from laboratory-equipment suppliers, or perhaps gained access to them in their workplaces.

Company lore has it that Nalgene Company president discovered that his son’s Boy Scout troop was using Nalgene laboratory containers when camping. Since then, the company has re-packaged and marketed items for consumer sales through their line of Nalgene Outdoor Products. In 2018, Epic Water Filters & Nalgene began to discuss a collaboration between the Nalgene 32 oz wide mouth bottle and the Urban Filter system from Epic Water Filters (both made in the USA). By early 2019, we finalized the concept and launched the bottle/filter combination.

Why OG Ultimate Travel Bottle?

“OG” back in the day used to mean Original Gangster although some people these days use OG as a quicker way of saying “The Original” – at Epic, we thought, what is more OG than the Nalgene 32oz wide mouth bottle? That is why we call it the Epic Nalgene OG Ultimate Travel Bottle. It’s the original gangster.

The Epic Nalgene OG Ultimate Travel Bottle gives you peace of mind when the water you are about to drink is questionable. Whether filling up at a public fountain, rain water, a local creek, or a mud puddle in Bali, you can have peace of mind that the Epic Outdoor Adventure Filter inside the Epic Nalgene OG Ultimate Travel Bottle allows you to drink any water no matter how polluted. The Outdoor Adventure Filter is designed for use with any polluted water source (excluding salt water). This advanced biological water filter instantly purifies water contaminants as you squeeze or suck from your bottle, leaving you with a stress-free experience when drinking from heavily contaminated water sources. Want to use your Epic Nalgene OG Ultimate Travel Bottle everyday? No problem, we have an interchangeable Urban filter (sold separately) that is designed to target common North American tap water contaminants like lead & chlorine.

Rigorous Independent Filter Testing

At Epic Water Filters we took the extra step to have our Urban & Outdoor Adventure Filter (both filters work with The Epic Nalgene Ultimate Travel Bottle) independently tested by labs both in United States and in other countries. The Urban & Outdoor filters have been tested to remove over 200+ known water contaminants by 3rd party accredited labs against 5 different NSF/ANSI water filtration standards for removal of: Bacteria, Viruses, Cysts, Lead, Chlorine, Odors, Chromium 6, Fluoride, Heavy Metals, Herbicides, Pesticides, VOC, PFOA, PFOS, Trace Pharmaceuticals.

FILTERED WATER BOTTLE (LEAD WATER FILTER): This Nalgene water bottle with filter uses depth & adsorption filtration to be the perfect water purifier. Adsorption removes particulates via the activated coconut carbon fiber mesh surface areas, which adsorbs contaminants such as cysts, heavy metals, chemicals & pharmaceuticals. Depth filtration (6mm thick) involves the removal of suspended waste products as they try to pass through the millions of layers of coconut carbon fiber block.
