Duriable and it matches my pack! Jun 23, 2008
By far the best water, soda, juice bottle ever. No person should be without one ever. Mine is the red 1.5 L and it is perfect for me since I have 2 kids who always want a sip of whatever Momma's got instead. We take the kids on small hikes and this is the perfect size for three of us (a baby, a four year old and me) so I don't bother with the multiple bottles anymore which free's up lots of room in the pack. And frankly camel backs don't hold very much water unless you are willing to part with alot of money so they never really did it for us. The larger size also helps me remember to drink enough water daily which is always a problem for me. I use it every day and besides the beating it takes at home with two kids and the hiking, it keeps on ticking. My bottle has gotten dented but like most people with Siggs I can tell you where I got each dent with pride. Have I mentioned how great this thing is in the wilderness yet? Let me mention it again. Siggs are super light which means the weight you carry is all water. How great is that? Especially when you are packing a kid! It's the screw top that really impresses me most though. It has really stood up to ALOT, and I mean alot, it's been everything from a teething ring to thrown on the floor because one year olds just can't help but snatch and grab and we are currently in the 'if I drop or throw this, will mommy go get it' phase. My daughter even tried to use it as a lever while my husband just stood there all proud of his "ducktape badge worthy" child! Needless to say I wasn't too happy about that, but the thing is indestructable!! And if you're really pressed for room in your pack the cap easily can be attached to the outside of your pack by a loop. The liner conforms to dents perfectly so no wierd taste after the dent either. Keeps the water cold! I highly recogmend them, they are the ultimate in quality. You will never need to throw it away but if you should you can recycle them too. How great is that? Personally I am all for things that don't end up in my trash! I feel a horrible guilt over throwing my money away and hurting the environment at the same time. It's so much easier to just do the right thing and never worry about things like that

Wonderful, Clean Tasting Jun 16, 2008
Sigg Traveler Classic Water Bottle (1.5) / B000TSAYMM
UPDATE: One year after I bought this water bottle, I am deeply irked to learn that it has been discovered that Sigg's 'superior' and 'secret formula' bottle linings did, in fact, contain the chemical BPA in them. They are offering a "free" trade-in to their new, supposedly BPA-free bottles until November 2009, but I am deeply unhappy with the Sigg company for three reasons.
1. Since they apparently never claimed to be BPA-free in the first place, they aren't legally required to offer a free recall, nor can they be legitimately sued for false advertising. But even if the claim was never explicitly made, there was always an implicit understanding that the Sigg bottles were "safer" than plastic bottles - and we ALL know what "safer" is supposed to mean. I'm not pleased with the deception.
2. The "free" trade-in simply isn't - since it's not a recall, they won't provide shipping labels, so I had to chunk down $10 in postage to get my Sigg bottles to finally do what they were always SUPPOSED to do in the first place - be BPA-free.
3. Since Sigg won't release their secret lining formula, there's no guarantee that their new liner is any safer than the old liner - even if they DID remove all the BPA this time, they could just as easily have replaced it with another dangerous chemical.
Bottom line is, I'm now quite furious with Sigg and I frankly wish that I hadn't bought from them in the first place.
-----
I recently invested in three Sigg bottles due to concerns over the plastic bottle chemicals. I couldn't be happier with my new Sigg bottles. I purchased the 1.5 liter size (nearly half a gallon) because I like to take a half gallon of milk to work each week and this was the largest size Sigg sold. I'm very happy with the results thus far - the milk tastes very sweet and clean, even late in the week. The bottle is attractive, durable, and easy to wash in the dishwasher. I know that they say to buy the cleaning tablets, but I've found that a rinse out by hand followed by a good stint in the dishwasher has been completely satisfactory. I highly recommend Sigg to anyone - it seems safer and it definitely tastes better!

Sigg built a better bottle Jun 16, 2008
This a great alternative to the heavy plastic bottles on the market. Being made of aluminum, they cool much faster and hold it better. I like how the mouth is a fair amount larger than the average bottle, but still comfortably sized and shaped for direct drinking. Sigg offers more sporty tops, but I prefer the security of the simple screw-top.

Great May 27, 2008
Perfect product. Enough water for me while at work all day. About 6 cups of water.

 Great for refilling, no odors Apr 24, 2008
This is a good bottle for refilling water in. It keeps the water really cold. There is no funky smells or odors. The cap is bothersome to open and close. Takes to long to twist open. Will be switching to a sports bottle cap. However, it does have a tight seal and no leakage problems. Only flaw I see is that it doesn't fit in my car's cupholder or in some the cardio machines at the gym.
