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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dometic) can create a genuinely useful upgrade without requiring them to replace an entire collection.
