Good replacement for Nalgene May 21, 2008
I ordered this to replace a Nalgene I'd used for 2 years, I finally got concerned enough about the chemicals leaching from the plastic. It works well, is easy to drink out of, and looks good. The only things I miss about the Nalgene are: the loop that kept the cap attached, and the ability to put it in the freezer.
 Really like this bottle May 20, 2008
This bottle has been really great to have around. My husband and I both have one and we've both enjoyed everything about the Sigg bottle. It's much easier to drink out of and the top works great. Be careful though...we both have dropped ours on cement and the bottles have dented up slightly. We don't mind...the bottle still performs well!
Great bottle! May 20, 2008
The bottle is perfect for traveling with water. I bring it with me daily. It does not leave any metal tastes. It keeps the temp cool. The bottle itself is constructed well. It does not leak even a bit. Highly recommended!
Great alternative to plastic! May 20, 2008
I have been using this bottle everyday for about a month and I think its great! I am happy I switched from plastic. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wish it had a wider mouth. Other than that, its perfect!
a great bottle at a good price May 19, 2008

I was a die-hard Nalgene bottle user. I owned at least a dozen of them, and never went anywhere without one. Until recently. With the questions regarding the safety of the plastic they were made from and with recent articles discussing issues with the buildup of germs that are recorded in many of these type of containers, I decided to make a switch. I love the fact that these are made of metal, especially since I have cracked more than one plastic bottle by dropping it or accidentally cooking it in the dishwasher. Even the Nalgene bottles do not handle the heat of the dishwashers well, and I have had them begin to get the little spiderweb cracks. Anyway, the metal bottle is tough, light-weight, and is easy to haul around. The 1 liter size, in my opinion, is best suited for either home/office use or serious backpacking applications. A liter of water can get heavy lugging it around all day. The .6 liter is perfect for people on the go that want to reduce their use of plastic bottles, but do not want to get weighted down. The metal bottles do well in the dishwasher, even with the small opening. I put it in there to sterilize it after I have cleaned it with the tablets. I also soak all my bottles and caps in light bleach water at least once a month...it is important to keep them as clean as possible, since water bottles can grow so many creepy crawlies. For the people that have complained that the threads are too sharp to drink from, either they need to send them back because they are defective or look at the way they are drinking from them. If you are trying to suck the water out to the point your lips are pulled into the bottle and are hitting the threads, you are not drinking from them correctly...try less suction and more pouring the water into your mouth. Also, other reviewers said that mold grew on their caps...unless you are leaving the bottles with stagnant water or leaving the caps on when they are damp inside, you should not be growing mold. Mold has to have a warm, damp environment to grow. After you clean them, leave the cap off until they are bone dry and then do no tighten the cap all the way down. Better yet, leave the caps off the bottle when they are empty. If you are growing mold, it has nothing to do with plastic, rubber, or metal...it has to do with the conditions the bottles are being kept in.
Overall, these are great items, rugged, light-weight, and help reduce the amount of plastic going into our landfills...personal recommendation, I get the caps with the loop on top, they are so easy to attach to book bags and belt loops that way....
