 Water tastes better! June 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ordered several of these for our family as we drink so much water throughout the day. We have been trying to cut back on using throwaway bottles and the Siggs make it easier to try and do that. Our kids especially appreciate the fun designs; the lids are easy for them to use as well.
One caveat is that it is a little harder to clean than some other bottles, but overall we prefer the Sigg more than any other bottle out there.
BPA-Free, Beautiful Sigg Bottle! June 5, 2008

This is an upscale designer water bottle, top of the line in every way. The designs of Sigg's water bottles are gorgeous--even the plain, solid color bottles are beautiful--but the ones with designs are even better, in my opinion. This is a pretty sunray design done in metallic colors.
I switched from regular plastic water bottles because of health concerns, even though I thought a permanent bottle like this 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 less of a chore. 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.
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. They do dent if dropped on a hard surface at a particular angle, but Sigg fans (including me) view this as a type of "seasoning", so that your bottle acquires character. The dents are on the outside layer of the bottle, not the inside layer and so don't interfere with any functionality.
Sigg bottles come with several different types of tops. This bottle has a screw top, which I prefer. I don't mind unscrewing the top when I want a drink. It is totally leak proof, which is important to me. The top is pretty and can be hooked onto a carabineer. If you ever lose the top, you can buy them separately.
Sigg makes their personal water bottle in many sizes. I use the .6L size as my basic every day size, and keep it in my briefcase. It is a bit too large for my purse, although if you carry a tote it is an ideal size. It is also good for sports activities that require less water, like shorter walks. For my car and other uses I use the larger 1L size.
This bottle may seem expensive, but it is so durable that you can plan on it lasting many years. I consider Sigg bottles both an accessory and an investment in my health, so they are well worth it value-wise for me.
Note that Sigg water bottles should not be used to contain boiling water, as this will damage the outer coating. They also cannot be left in the freezer, as it may crack. They can be used for carbonated beverages, if you leave about a half inch of room at the top.
Highly recommended.

Tried it and liked it. May 31, 2008
Being concerned about safety of plastic and being concerned about the shear number of plastic bottles that we were throwing away, I decided to try the Sigg water bottle. I really like the light weight of the bottle and the fact that it has no after taste. I wasn't sure that I would like the elastic ceramic interior but it really does negate any off taste that you might get in another bottle. We will see with time if the bottle holds up but I am greatly encouraged by the product so far. My 13 year old daughter likes the taste of the water and she really likes the fact that the bottles are pretty. (very important for a young teen) The bottles seemed a little pricey until I added up the number of plastic bottles that we were going through. We can pay for a Sigg bottle in a week. I have ordered several more as we are very happy with the product so far.
Outstanding Alternative to Plastic!!! May 26, 2008
This is a wonderful product. Environmentally friendly and effective. This stops us as a family from buying and using bottled water. No leaks either! We have 3 different tops for these and they all work well.

The bottle is very attractive and elegantly designed. However, I have two criticisms of it. First, while it might not matter to most people, the opening is not large enough to drop a standard size half-moon ice cube in. I use mine with chilled water and it does maintain temperature well enough, but I would prefer to add a few cubes. Secondly, I accidentally knocked my bottle lightly against a trash container at my gym and was surprised that it dented so easily. I have dropped my Nalgene bottle many times and it always survives. The Sigg makes a better pretty addition to a bookcase than a practical bottle for daily use.
