 Not as durable as expected February 8, 2008

I thought I had finally found the perfect water bottle. It was made of a non-leaching material, it came in a larger size than the average water bottle, and the design was stylish. Unfortunately, it has not lived up to my expectations. Be sure to screw the cap on VERY TIGHTLY or you will have water all over your gym bag or car seat. Also, keep a firm grip on it at all times since it can not handle a fall to the floor without sustaining considerable damage. I dropped the bottle once and it is now dented on the bottom. The impact made the bottom pop out so now it wobbles on my desk. This is not a cheap product so I expected more from it- especially since I have only owned it for about three weeks!

I bought a 1 L waterbottle and within 3 days dropped it on a carpeted floor, and it got a huge dent. It's since gotten another dent. I don't care about aesthetics, but I am afraid that the enamel will eventually come off (or the volume will be much less than 1 L because of all the dents into the bottle). I was very disappointed, since this is such an expensive waterbottle. On the other hand - it doesn't have any "taste" at all, and it seems to have a good seal - it doesn't leak like Nalgene does. If only I could be sure it's going to LAST more than a few weeks... I'm a bit afraid to take it out on the trail, which is what it's made for, right?
 Super-Fun Personal Accessory and Water Bottle March 23, 2007

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, to the ones 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.

This is actually the first review I have ever left. I highly recommend this bottle. Water tastes very clean compared to plastic bottles. It makes a big difference! Every time I have taken it out, someone always seems to complement on how cute the design is as well. I'm very happy with this product.

Great water bottle.....everyone asks about it. Fast shippping and response to questions. I ordered sport top to replace the screw top after a couple of weeks using the screw top. All the Sigg tops are interchangeable.
