This is an upscale designer water bottle, top of the line, and so much fun. The designs Of Sigg's water bottles are gorgeous, from the plain, solid color bottles (like this one), to others with intricate designs. They are simply beautiful! I switched from regular plastic water bottles because of health concerns, thinking it would take more work to maintain. These do necessitate regular cleaning (I clean mine every day), but having something so beautiful to drink from makes the cleaning fun. Sort of like my rings, glasses, and watch, I now consider my Sigg personal water bottle a vital accessory, reminding me to drink more water, making a statement about my values, and expressing myself with a special design. Yes, all in a water bottle!
Sigg of Switzerland water bottles are very high quality, made of light aluminum on the outside, slightly insulated, and covered with a special powder coat on the inside that prevents any leaching whatsoever, unlike plastic and polycarbonate water bottles. They are light, durable, and perfect for any activity. Well water tastes spectacular in these bottles, just like from the tap.
Sigg bottles come with several different types of tops. I bought the screw top because I don't like sports tops, and I don't mind unscrewing the top when I want a drink. It is totally leakproof, which is important to me. The top is pretty and can be hooked onto a carabiner. I get comments on it all the time, "What's that? I love it!" The sports top version is ok; I just am not a fan, as I don't feel like I can get enough water from the little stream from the sports top. However, for convenience, you might prefer it. For children, there is a cap-type top. All are leak-proof. If you are ever unsatisfied with the top, you can buy a screw top separately to fit your Sigg bottle.
Sigg makes their personal water bottle in .6L and 1L in this style. I have both. I use the .6L for sports activities because they are smaller. When I won't have to carry the container, I like the larger bottle. Sigg also makes a smaller .3L bottle for children that is a perfect size for young people. You can buy Siggs in alternative sizes too, such as .75L, .4L (for kids), .6L, .5L. You can occasionally find this bottle in the 1.5L size, also. Search Amazon for the perfect size.
Pick a style and pattern you like, as this bottle is a personal accessory, and should reflect your style. The colors are vibrant and even prettier than they seem in the pictures on Amazon.
They are expensive, but they are so durable that you can plan on them lasting many years. I consider them both an accessory and an investment in my health, so they are well worth it value-wise for me.
Highly recommended.

The bottle is sharp looking, but is made out of very thin steel. I can easily squeeze and bend the middle of the waterbottle. Just the other day i dropped it in the kitchen, and not to my suprise a huge dent was in the top. Now I am very active person, so what if I would have dropped this when I was out hiking or climbing? This is a good waterbottle for the office, not the outdoors. 1 star The following review received 1 helpful votes out of 1 total votes:Review Date: 2008-06-12"Excellent Bottle, NOT Harmful like Plastics"This bottle is GREAT! I was a huge fan of the Nalgene bottles and owned 3 of them, and though mine never turned cloudy or showed signs of degradation, I was concerned about the BPA scare. This aluminum bottle from SIGG is VERY lightweight, stylish, and as the description says, it leaves absolutely no aftertaste or anything after having various liquids in it. Easy to maintain and easy to open and drink from without excess noise, unlike some alternatives. Highly recommend this bottle! I'm picking up a second as a backup. 5 stars The following review received 1 helpful votes out of 1 total votes:Review Date: 2008-07-30"replace your plastic bottle with this beauty"After the scare about what you might catch from drinking out of a plastic water bottle, I purchased this one. Because I teach classes, the metal Sigg bottle sits at the front of the classroom. I've had many inquiries as to what that "really cool bottle" was I drank water from. Also, the cold water tastes wonderful in the Sigg, much better than from a Nalgene. 5 stars |
