Sigg Traveler Classic Water Bottle (1.0-Liters, Green Transparent)

I love this water bottle. It is so light-weight. I purchased the transparent blue color which is awesome. It is easy to clean, just wash with hot soapy water. I've purchased bottles from Sigg before, but this is my new favorite. I used to drink out of plastic water bottles for the last ten or fifteen years. I recently found out that the bisphenal A is leached into drinking water from the plastic. Bisphenal A is an endocrine disruptor and mimics estrogen in the body. Don't drink from plastic water bottles. Sigg is highly recommended!

I love my Sigg! Being pregnant means I need to drink LOTS of water. This large water bottle allows me to take 1L with me wherever I go. I don't have to stop to refill or spend extra money on bottled water from stores. It has saved me money & time along with eliminating the waste of plastic bottles.

I decided to buy an aluminum water bottle because I was concerned about the waste all the plastic bottles were creating and also because of the chemicals that can come out of plastic. These bottles are extremely light and are well made. I haven't had any problems with leakage. I also have not had any problems with the water tasting funny. They come in a wide array of designs, so just about anyone should be able to find something to their liking.

I love my water bottle! It is lightweight when empty, fairly heavy when full, but its hard to avoid that. It doesn't smell or make my water taste bad. The cap is secure so it doesn't leak, and my water stays really cold. I do have a few dents in it already, but the bottle is still usable. I love how it looks and I love how I have reduced my impact on the environment by not buying disposable water bottles anymore. Before I thought using a reusable bottle would be a hassle, but in only a few weeks I have successfully implemented it into my routine and I will never buy a plastic disposable bottle again! I recommend a Sigg bottle for anyone who wants to be practical, stylish, and green.

I did quite a bit of research before buying this water bottle. I've been drinking from plastic bottles for years now, and was quite disturbed to learn that chemicals leach into the water. Twenty years from now, I think history is going to look back regretfully on the last fifty years as "The Chemical Age." We are just starting to understand the grievous impact all these chemicals have had on our bodies and on our planet.

From what I've read, glass is actually the safest thing to drink from, but I've had a really hard time finding a suitable glass bottle that I can carry around when I'm out and about. Sigg seems to be a close second. The baked on enamel coating is very durable and has been proven to not leech any chemicals (here's an interesting discussion about the safety of Sigg bottles: http://www.dld123.com/q&a/index.php?cid=1796). The first few times I drank from the Sigg, there was a slightly metallic taste, but that went away very quickly.

Until I find some sort of glass bottle that is practical enough to carry around, this Sigg is going to be my water bottle of choice...
