 love the sigg February 17, 2008

I was not sure at first about the sport top. I did not find it comfortable to press with my lips and drink at the same time. I discovered a great solution though, and now I love this bottle. I grip the bottle as usual but place my index finger on the top of the lid and press down as I drink. This is very easy and comfortable to do. I can get a very fast flow of water.
I purchased a cheap stainless steel bottle several years ago at a major chain. There was no valve to allow air to enter the bottle as you tried to drink so it was actually impossible to suck out more than a sip of water at a time. It also had a weird oder.
The Sigg is a highly superior product. Water tastes great even after a day or two in the bottle, and both types of tops give a great flow of water and do not leak. My children (2 abd 5) each have a Sigg with the other type of top and they love them. My husband keeps a Sigg at home and one at work with just the screw top and he is also very satisfied.

I love my Sigg bottle (I have two now). They are a fantastic alternative to disposable plastic bottles. The sport top, however, has it's limitations. If you don't wear lipstick, it's wonderful. But if you have lipstick or even lip balm on, it's better just to unscrew the lid and drink that way, otherwise, it gets all over. Because it is leak-proof, you have to put your lips to the top and "push" to get the water out and that pushing motion causes anything on the lips to be on the sport top, and even back on your face, outside the lip area. That is the only caveat that I can think of. Highly, Highly recommend this product!
Sport top vs. loop top May 22, 2008

Having used both tops, I think the sport top is the way to go. Why? It's more flexible. Use your thumb to press down on the release to allow sucking the drink from the bottle. That allows one-handed drinking from, say, a bike. Or, if you need to guzzle a lot of water, uncrew the sport top as you would with the loop top. With the sport top, it's easier to screw and unscrew because there's more for your hand to work with, IMO. Hope that helps.
Mythical Scene on Great Water Bottle May 30, 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. I like to choose a pattern that reflects me. This one is a black on white mythical design, which isn't me, but it may be just what you're looking for!
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 particular bottle has a sports top. I'm not the biggest fan of the sports top, preferring a screw top, but this works conveniently when you don't want to take the time to unscrew the top for a drink. It is leak proof.
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.
