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.
