Hey guys. Quick question. Whenever I leave water in my nalgene for a day or two the taste seems to get very plasticy very fast. It tastes like crap and its annoying having to change the water.

Is this just bad plastic in the Nalgene that is breaking down?

I know when I leave my water, in a plastic bottle. It starts to taste like plastic. Nalgenes are just thick plastic, nothing special. Get a glass bottle.
