Sigg Gorilla .6 Liter Aluminum Water Bottle White Black

Its part of the eco thing to do, less plastic bottles to the land fill. However people with arthritis in their hands have to be carefull on how tight they close it because it can be hard to open.Sigg Traveler Classic Water Bottle (1.0-Liters)

We got two Sigg bottles and one started to leak. Customer service for Sigg was rude, accusatory and impossible to deal with. They blamed me for dropping it, putting it in the freezer, or anything they could think of. The truth is, that it is an inferior product. We returned it after much hassle and bought Greenfeet bottles instead, which are much better overall. My suggestion, stay away from all Sigg products, they really stink and are overpriced. Greenfeet offers a much better and sturdier product.

I love my sigg bottles. I love that they are eco-friendly and safe to use--compared to many plastic bottles out there that are made with BPA (bisphenol a). If you're not familiar with BPA, do some research. Simply put, it's bad for you. So stainless steel bottles like Sigg bottles are the way to go. Sigg bottles are pretty easy to clean too. If you purchase Sigg's special brush set, it's even easier to clean. I also love the designs and so do my friends and co-workers. So I gave some Sigg bottles out for Xmas presents last year.

Bought the .6 liter Sigg stainless steel water bottle in the Sunray turqoise design with the loop screw cap. Love the bottle, keeps water tasting great.The .6 liter is the perfect size for my need. I wish it came with the sport top also. Screwing the cap on and off is a bit of a pain. I am completely satisfied with the bottle and will probably purchase more when they are more abundantly available in the designs I like.

I have Spotted Pride design - which is amazing

***Pros***
1) Deceptively light - I don't think this bottle is any heavier than a plastic bottle.

2) Durable - it has survived being dropped, clanging against the side of a bag, and shoved in all sorts of places without damage to the design - it has under hard use developed a very, very small dent

3) Healthy - no BPA means yay! Well... you get the picture. It's fairly environmentally conscious - and recyclable

<<>>
1) Opening is very small - cubed ice will not fit

2) Heats up fast

3) Bottle top is beyond abysmal - I love attaching a carabiner to it, but the love ends there. After about a month, mine started leaking if it gets tipped and I have been unsuccessful of finding a replacement locally. They used to be carried at several sporting good stores, but sadly not so frequently around here any more (sigh)
