I wonder if someone could confirm this experience about the Nalgene  
bottles and clarify the issues with the various bottle plastics.

I use the Lexan Nalgene bottles for the same purposes but do not have  
enough experience to know if this shortens their life. The data that  
Nalgene supplies implies that these bottles can deal with these  
temperatures.
