Designed to fit your on-the-go lifestyle, it comes with a loop top bottle cap, which can be secured via hook or caribiner clip to a backpack or daypack. Sigg bottles are virtually unbreakable and are constructed with no seams, ensuring a long-lasting, leak-proof performance. They also feature Sigg's proprietary baked-on inner liner, which is made from a non-toxic, water-based epoxy resin that exceeds FDA requirements for leaching (0.0 percent) and is independently tested to be taste- and scent-neutral. Every Sigg bottle is 100 percent recyclable at the end of its life, and is backed by a lifetime warranty. About Sigg
It all started with a simple hiker's bottle. Today, the SIGG bottle has acquired cult status. What happened is a success story that started in Biel, Switzerland in 1908. Küng, Sigg & Cie. manufactured leisure goods, kitchenware, and electrical appliances. The company relocated to Frauenfeld in 1916, where it helped pioneer the legendary tradition of Swiss quality. Since 1998, SIGG has concentrated on its core business: drinking bottles that deliver ultimate customer benefit. Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can Sigg bottles be used for boiling water?
A: No. Strong heat can damage the outer coating. Q: Can dents in the bottle damage the Sigg bottle's inner coating?
A: No, the Sigg inner coating is highly elastic. Dents cannot crack or chip the internal lining and the Sigg bottle remains perfectly usable. Q: Can I use my Sigg bottle for carbonated drinks?
A: Yes, all Sigg bottle tops provide a 100 percent seal and will not leak. It's recommended that you fill the bottle no further than 1/2-inch below the lip. And before taking a drink, relieve the pressure inside the bottle by gently rotating the entire top. Q: Are Sigg bottles dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, but because of the narrow mouth of the bottle, hand washing is recommended. Q: Can a Sigg bottle be placed in the freezer
A: No, as this may cause the bottle to crack. However, the bottle can be chilled in the refrigerator.

I was a die-hard Nalgene bottle user. I owned at least a dozen of them, and never went anywhere without one. Until recently. With the questions regarding the safety of the plastic they were made from and with recent articles discussing issues with the buildup of germs that are recorded in many of these type of containers, I decided to make a switch. I love the fact that these are made of metal, especially since I have cracked more than one plastic bottle by dropping it or accidentally cooking it in the dishwasher. Even the Nalgene bottles do not handle the heat of the dishwashers well, and I have had them begin to get the little spiderweb cracks. Anyway, the metal bottle is tough, light-weight, and is easy to haul around. The 1 liter size, in my opinion, is best suited for either home/office use or serious backpacking applications. A liter of water can get heavy lugging it around all day. The .6 liter is perfect for people on the go that want to reduce their use of plastic bottles, but do not want to get weighted down. The metal bottles do well in the dishwasher, even with the small opening. I put it in there to sterilize it after I have cleaned it with the tablets. I also soak all my bottles and caps in light bleach water at least once a month...it is important to keep them as clean as possible, since water bottles can grow so many creepy crawlies. For the people that have complained that the threads are too sharp to drink from, either they need to send them back because they are defective or look at the way they are drinking from them. If you are trying to suck the water out to the point your lips are pulled into the bottle and are hitting the threads, you are not drinking from them correctly...try less suction and more pouring the water into your mouth. Also, other reviewers said that mold grew on their caps...unless you are leaving the bottles with stagnant water or leaving the caps on when they are damp inside, you should not be growing mold. Mold has to have a warm, damp environment to grow. After you clean them, leave the cap off until they are bone dry and then do no tighten the cap all the way down. Better yet, leave the caps off the bottle when they are empty. If you are growing mold, it has nothing to do with plastic, rubber, or metal...it has to do with the conditions the bottles are being kept in.
Overall, these are great items, rugged, light-weight, and help reduce the amount of plastic going into our landfills...personal recommendation, I get the caps with the loop on top, they are so easy to attach to book bags and belt loops that way....
Yay! No more plastic water bottles for me! June 20, 2006

I really love this bottle. It doesn't get smelly, it doesn't retain the taste of the contents after you use it. It looks cool. I like the size. I was using glass bottles for water because I was trying to get away from plastics, but this is a much better, more lightweight and unbreakable solution!
If you don't mind the price, a great bottle October 19, 2007

PRO: The bottle works great. It's small enough to fit in the most crowded backpack or briefcase (and fits in cup holders in the car). You don't have to worry about the funky smells and/or flavors that often infuse your beverage when using polymeric bottles.
CON: It is easily dented and scratched, which just gives it some character, but you might expect a little more for the price.
Best water bottle on earth... so far... March 28, 2008

I did quite a bit of research before buying this water bottle. I've been drinking from plastic bottles for years now, and was quite disturbed to learn that chemicals leach into the water. Twenty years from now, I think history is going to look back regretfully on the last fifty years as "The Chemical Age." We are just starting to understand the grievous impact all these chemicals have had on our bodies and on our planet.
From what I've read, glass is actually the safest thing to drink from, but I've had a really hard time finding a suitable glass bottle that I can carry around when I'm out and about. Sigg seems to be a close second. The baked on enamel coating is very durable and has been proven to not leech any chemicals (here's an interesting discussion about the safety of Sigg bottles: http://www.dld123.com/q&a/index.php?cid=1796). The first few times I drank from the Sigg, there was a slightly metallic taste, but that went away very quickly.
Until I find some sort of glass bottle that is practical enough to carry around, this Sigg is going to be my water bottle of choice...
Sigg is by far the best product in its catagory September 1, 2007

I'm addicted to these bottles and its helped me get over my addiction to wasteful disposible plastic bottles! After all, even if you do recyle ALL of your plastic bottles, it still wastes energy to haul them to a dump and re-process them. Dispense with them and use filtered water from the tap in these hygenic, stylish and handy bottles. They impart no taste to the water and the bottles themselves are very light.
