 Pretty cool - a little weird at first July 16, 2007

I got this sports bottle because my Nalgene bottle grew this weird odor that I could not get rid of no matter what amount of boiling water or cleaner I put in it. So far so good: I like how when I drink out of it, my water tastes like water with no weird smell. It looks pretty cool, too, with a variety of colors and designs, and it still fits in all my water bottle pockets.
My two minor issues:
1) The mechanism to take a drink is a little weird and requires you to push in the top with your teeth and suck out the water. It's great to prevent spillage, but takes a bit of getting used to.
2) I bought the .6L bottle, which is about 20 oz. so it's not very big. I am thinking of buying the liter...
 Classic Sigg Water Bottle February 19, 2008

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! These bottles are the latest 2007 "Nature's Bouquet" designs!
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.

I jumped on the "no plastics" bandwagon a few months ago. I bought my two girls Siggs bottles for lunch, park, etc... The bottles are what you would expect. However, my youngest (1 year) chewed the heck out of the PLASTIC mouth piece. Had to replace that. Secondly, they are a PAIN in the butt to clean. If you are like me...occasionally the bottle gets left in the car overnight. They grow mold very quickly and have hard to reach part to clean. I soaked them, boiled them, scrubbed them and finally scraped them clean with a long wood chopstick. So... good product, but buy the cleaner brush (havent tried it) or get ready for some major cleaning sessions.
Kinda leaky May 8, 2008

I bought this water bottle after going through several $5 sport-top water bottles that leak all over me when I take a drink. I thought the Sigg would be different - but it's not. Better, yes. Leak-free, no.
But it is pretty. And I like that it's recyclable and not made of plastic. I would probably recommend a Sigg without the sport-top (I'm considering buying a regular top for mine).
Update: It turns out I was using the sport top wrong! It's designed so you have to push down on the top to get the water to come out. I had turned the top past its intended position (a place where you don't need to push down to get the water to come out) and that's why it was leaking. Oops. But problem solved - great water bottle.
