Evernew bottle with hot water?

Someone asked this question a few years ago and the answer was that the Evernew Japan website gave a temperature rating.   I couldn’t find that information on the website myself, so I am curious if anyone knows or has tried putting hot water in the Evernew soft water bottles.

This would be to sleep with, not to drink, and I would back it up in a zip-lock bag. I’m trying to avoid carrying a nalgene just because I might want a hot water bottle to sleep with.

I see on their site it says

heat resistant temperature: -20 to 90 ° C

HERE . just hit the translate pop up at the top of the page

Thank you!  I only found the “corporate” website, and didn’t find the online shop.

Particularly medical grade silicone bottles are excellent for this purpose.  So far, silicone seems to be the most inert and stable human made, rubber or plastic like material commonly used for eating and drinking. You can put boiling water in it and not have to worry about leaching of estrogen mimicking chemicals.

I wish that instead of full silicone bottles, more companies would rather just line their other bottles or bags with a thin layer of silicone instead, because silicone bottles are a bit awkward.

In any case, a thick, rubbery silicone bottle will hold in the heat of hot water a bit better and longer than a thin, nylon-polyethylene bag, and you can put boiling water in it, and not be scalded.

I mentioned the above because even if you do not directly drink the once hot water from an Evernew bag–the more you put hot water in it, the faster it will degrade the material so that it will leech more quickly and more easily even with cool water.  UV will also degrade Evernew type containers and speed up the leeching process (whereas silicone is highly resistant to UV degradation).

Evernew containers are so ridiculously light and packable, that the extra little bit of weight (a few ounces or so) and volume of a silicone bottle, and bringing both is not even a consideration in my mind (and these are pretty packable too). I keep the Evernew for cool and cold water, and the silicone for hot water, or for shakes.
