 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!

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....
 Nice bottle; spare the dents please May 19, 2008
Water bottle is very nice. Sturdy and light. Unfortunately it arrived with several small but very noticeable dents in the side. We were not impressed when we opened the box.
Happy with Sigg May 18, 2008
My husband and I both have Sigg bottles and pouches. People at work admired mine and a few have purchased one. The lip is smooth and comfortable to drink from and the loop top makes it easy to carry when I have an armful of files. I only use it for water. The pouch prevents rattling in my bag or scratches on the bottle when I carry it to and from work. We've had ours for 7 months now and they are still in perfect shape. Think of all the plastic we've saved!
 very easy to dent May 13, 2008
these bottles are light weight and have no adverse taste associated with them. however, they are very easy to dent. i ordered two, one of which had a large dent when it arrived from amazon. the other was dented within two weeks. the replacement for the bottle that was dented on delivery was dented after just a few weeks.
