Nalgene Wide-Mouth Loop-Top Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The replacement cap itself is fine.Instead, my review concerns the inadequate and confusing product description on this Amazon webpage, and the high price.

From the photo of 5 caps, the description as "packaged", and the high price ($5.95), I thought that I would be getting a set of *5* replacement lids! Instead, I received only one, "packaged" for retail sales in plastic with a labeled hang-top closure.How strange that this Amazon webpage should offer "packaged" vs. "wide" versions (which I now guess are "non-packaged")... does Amazon think that retailers are making purchases on this website for resale in their own stores?

Furthermore, $5.95 for just a single replacement *cap* is an unreasonably high price... an entire Nalgene bottle usually runs for less than $10 in brick-and-mortar stores!Other sellers on Amazon offer single replacement lids for roughly $2, but most have huge shipping charges (between $7 and $10 *per cap*).If you want more than one replacement cap, go somewhere like rei.com:$2 per cap, plus $5.99 shipping anywhere in the U.S. for the *total* purchase.

Alas, I have a feeling that I would have had no problem with any of this (and probably saved money) if only I had gone to a brick-and-mortar store instead....
