Nalgene Cantene

[Michelle]

I accidentally put a hole in my Nalgene Cantene about a year ago......tossed it aside, figuring I'd deal with it later.

Well, today while browsing around REI, I found these little patches made for the plastic playtpus bottles (the flexible ones), it's basically the same material as the Cantene. I just "patched" up the hole, but I'm wondering if anyone else has used the patches and how long they really work for? They are basically cute stickers with a platypus on them, probably could have used duct tape or seam grip, but I figured this would be less toxic.

I have the full Cantene sitting in my sink right now and it's not leaking!! (Which is by the way..........a great product, the hole was my fault)

Thanks!!

I'm not sure I would trust it to hold for 2000+ miles.

Ha ha! And I was kinda hoping!!

Well, it stayed full of water all night with no leaks, so I'm happy! It's not something that I carry water in all day long anyways, just from water source to camp. Guess we can just wait and see!

If it's a wide mouth you could always use it for food or small items.
