GUYOT STANDARD BOTTLE Review
Joezilla in the Field
Whilst on the last backpacking
trip, my buddy and I were talking about stainless items on the market.
Amongst our discussion, he informed me that Guyot Designs had some single
wall bottles, one of which reflected the shape and size of a nalgene.
Glorious! I was engrossed with the idea of a bomb proof nalgene. Upon
returning from the trip and some discussion on various forums... within a
few days I had a wonderful new box of goodies to play with.
Guyot designs has many shapes
and sizes of this single walled bottle;
I chose to go with the Standard.
Specs:
Material- 18/10 surgical grade stainless steel
Weight- 12.9oz/365 grams
Capacity: 38 oz/ 1124 ml
Diameter: 63 mm
So a few of
you might think it looks fancy, but will it fit all your nalgene stuff.
Yes! My Guyot splash guard fit it just fine. Also, my trusty GSI mug cup
fit it. My lovely mug cup is the older version. We tried a newer version
and it just barely fit.
The lid boasts an interesting
design. I’m kinda partial to my nalgene lids, and they will fit this too.
“The Lid” as Guyot calls it, is water tight and holds up well, with a small
silicone ring inside the inner rim. The lid retention mechanism is kinda
interesting. It utilizes a small allen wrench so you can adjust the
tightness. A knot would work fine, but this design is also growing on me, I
keep it just tight enough to take off so I can remove the lid before I put
it in the fire.

It will accept a standard water bottle
lid.
Cooking on a fire. I contacted
Lisa Guyot, and inquired about the use of the bottle in a fire. She said
that since it is single walled, it should do just fine. Fine indeed, it did
great! I put it directly into the fire, as pictured, both on the outside,
and straight into the coals. The strong design and heavy steel didn’t warp
at all. Just as long as you have some kind of pliers, multi tool, or other
item to grip it and prevent yourself from getting burned. It will get
blackened with use. You can choose to either leave it or scrub it off with a
3M pad. I’m kinda partial to leaving it. I normally have a pack that I put
the bottle in after use, so I don’t get pine resin all over my other gear. I
do scrub it if it gets real bad. I don’t want it to impede my mug cup should
I choose to tote that along.
In
conclusion, this is a very fancy bottle that opens up a world of
possibilities for fellow gear nuts and out door enthusiasts... this is a
welcome addition to any minimalist’s backpack. The Guyot Designs bottle
system fits the bill for combining a water container and something to boil
in.
