It’s hydration with a whole new glow. Today, Nalgene Outdoor debuts its brightest bottle drop: the GloWyld collection—five new glow-in-the-dark designs that take inspiration from nature’s most radiant creatures and landscapes. Made in the USA with material derived from 50% plastic waste (using ISCC certified mass balance), these 32-oz bottles are dishwasher safe, lightweight, and deliver the legendary durability and functionality Nalgene bottles are known for—with the added fun of glowing when the lights go out.
Each $18.99 GloWyld bottle is available nationwide and at www.nalgene.com. Whether you’re backcountry camping, heading to a music festival, or just navigating a dark bedroom at 2 a.m., the GloWyld bottles aren’t just eye-catching—they’re seriously useful and turn up the glow in a way most reusable bottles can’t compete.
Meet the Radiant Roster:
Every design pays homage to natural bioluminescence or radiant ecosystems, offering more than a glow—it’s a glow with a story.
- Shimmering Scyphozoa: Inspired by glowing jellyfish from the deep—no sting, just style.
- Ethereal Eukaryotes: Shaped like mushrooms, these organisms light up the forest floor and now your gear.
- Radiant Reptilia: A tribute to sea turtles—glow to protect their world by ditching single-use plastics.
- Marvelous Minerals: From gemmy geodes to shimmering stones, this bottle rocks day and night.
- Illuminating Insecta: Think fireflies—but adorning a bottle, instead of captured within! A year-round flash of nature’s magic.
“Our basic glow-in-the-dark bottle already has a cult following,” said Eric Hansen, Marketing Director at Nalgene Outdoor. “With GloWyld, we went beyond the novelty and gave it a little more flare and purpose—each bottle is inspired by the planet’s most brilliant species, designed for nighttime function, and made with our trusted sustainable materials.”
Whether glowing softly in a tent or clipped to a backpack for added visibility, the GloWyld bottles prove that a water bottle can be both fun and functional—dare we say, a bit magical. Just a little exposure to sunlight or artificial light and these bottles charge up for hours of nighttime glow.
3 Ways to Let It Glow:
- Multi-Purpose Lantern or Night light:Fueled by natural light, these bottles add a few extra hours of night lights, whether camping or on a nightstand at home.
- Eco-Friendly Glow Stick:Safer and more sustainable than a single-use glow stick. Perfect to clip on a pack to add enough light for dusk-to-dark events, youth sports, or evening walks.
- Emergency Visibility: Leakproof and glow-ready, the bottle can also serve as a dry case for survival gear like matches, first-aid supplies and much more —and it’s easy to spot in the dark!
“This bottle is built to be seen. It steals the spotlight and that’s what makes it awesome,” adds Hansen.

About NALGENE Outdoor

Founded in 1949 as a manufacturer of the first plastic pipette holder, the company soon expanded its product line to include state-of-the-art polyethylene labware under the NALGENE brand. By the mid-1970s, outdoor enthusiasts had discovered the taste and odor-resistant, leak-proof and rugged properties of NALGENE’s large selection of plastic containers. In response to this emerging demand, NALGENE Outdoor Products was formed and today the consumer-oriented business offers its customers a wide choice of safe, environmentally friendly, BPA- and BPS- free products that meet their lifestyle needs.
