Nalgene has launched the Fresh Flow, a 24-oz straw bottle priced at $19.99, with a cap compatible with all existing 24-oz and 32-oz wide-mouth Nalgene bottles. The Nalgene Fresh Flow straw bottle offers three ways to drink — straw, wide mouth or spout — and features a two-piece, dishwasher-safe straw that pulls apart easily without hidden moisture or hard-to-reach areas.
The bottle is marked BPA/BPS-free and made from US-sourced Tritan Renew material, launching nationwide at nalgene.com in clear, gray and aqua colorways.
As hydration brands compete on versatility and ease of cleaning, Nalgene shows that designing around compatibility with bottles consumers already own can create a genuinely useful upgrade without requiring them to replace an entire collection.
