Every Sigg bottle is 100 percent recyclable at the end of its life, and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

About Sigg
It all started with a simple hiker’s bottle. Today, the SIGG bottle has acquired cult status. What happened is a success story that started in Biel, Switzerland in 1908. Küng, Sigg & Cie. manufactured leisure goods, kitchenware, and electrical appliances. The company relocated to Frauenfeld in 1916, where it helped pioneer the legendary tradition of Swiss quality. Since 1998, SIGG has concentrated on its core business: drinking bottles that deliver ultimate customer benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can Sigg bottles be used for boiling water?
A: No. Strong heat can damage the outer coating.

Q: Can dents in the bottle damage the Sigg bottle's inner coating?
A: No, the Sigg inner coating is highly elastic. Dents cannot crack or chip the internal lining and the Sigg bottle remains perfectly usable.

Q: Can I use my Sigg bottle for carbonated drinks?
A: Yes, all Sigg bottle tops provide a 100 percent seal and will not leak. It's recommended that you fill the bottle no further than 1/2-inch below the lip. And before taking a drink, relieve the pressure inside the bottle by gently rotating the entire top.

Q: Are Sigg bottles dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, but because of the narrow mouth of the bottle, hand washing is recommended.

Q: Can a Sigg bottle be placed in the freezer
A: No, as this may cause the bottle to crack. However, the bottle can be chilled in the refrigerator.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great water bottle, May 13, 2007

The best container for liquid that I've used. While other no-leak containers always seem to leak, this one does not. I can throw it in my computer bag without a care.

However, since the container is made from aluminum, it transfers heat well. If you put cold water in it, you'll soon have room-temperature water.

4.0 out of 5 stars great on the inside, but maybe not on the outside, September 30, 2007

I love my blue 0.6L Sigg water bottle. It's a great size for carrying around everywhere, and the deep blue color is to die for. It's light. It doesn't retain taste and smells from last month's fruit punch (as my last Nalgene-style bottle did, despite repeated washings and bleachings!). I've done everything I can think of to test it for leakage or taste transference, and it has proven itself worthy of my $20 every time. My only worry is with the exterior finish, which is meant to be durable but perhaps isn't. One faceplant on the concrete and my Sigg has a nasty scuff right through the paint on the bottom edge. The product info says such scuffs, come by so easily, are likely to invite further damage to the surrounding paint. I'm not overly thrilled with that prediction. Quibble aside, it's a lovely bottle, the loop-top screw cap is very convenient for carrying, and I am confident that my borrowed textbooks are safe while it's bumping around in my backpack with them. I highly recommend Sigg bottles.
