Okay, I'd like your thoughts on a reusable water bottle.

I have a Klean Kanteen. Very durable and fairly light. The aluminum bottles are lighter but they usually have a liner which seems like an area prime for premature failure. No need for a liner in stainless steel bottles. Also, even though the Klean Kanteen bottle is made in China, they claim to audit the manufacturing process. http://www.kleankanteen.com/faqs/faqs.php

Another option, although of aluminum construction, is Liberty Bottleworks which are made in the USA. I also have a 32 oz one that I use as a small beer growler.

Sierra Trading Post has some from $5.
