3.0 out of 5 stars
Kinda leaky, May 7, 2008
I bought this water bottle after going through several $5 sport-top water bottles that leak all over me when I take a drink. I thought the Sigg would be different - but it's not. Better, yes. Leak-free, no.
But it is pretty. And I like that it's recyclable and not made of plastic. I would probably recommend a Sigg without the sport-top (I'm considering buying a regular top for mine).
Update: It turns out I was using the sport top wrong! It's designed so you have to push down on the top to get the water to come out. I had turned the top past its intended position (a place where you don't need to push down to get the water to come out) and that's why it was leaking. Oops. But problem solved - great water bottle.

Beautifully made, but flawed, May 15, 2008
This review is from: Sigg Lifestyle Loop Top Water Bottle (0.6-Liters) (Sports)
The bottle is very attractive and elegantly designed. However, I have two criticisms of it. First, while it might not matter to most people, the opening is not large enough to drop a standard size half-moon ice cube in. I use mine with chilled water and it does maintain temperature well enough, but I would prefer to add a few cubes. Secondly, I accidentally knocked my bottle lightly against a trash container at my gym and was surprised that it dented so easily. I have dropped my Nalgene bottle many times and it always survives. The Sigg makes a better pretty addition to a bookcase than a practical bottle for daily use.

FUN Personal Accessory and Water Bottle, March 22, 2007
*****
This is an upscale designer water bottle, top of the line, and so much fun. The designs Of Sigg's water bottles are gorgeous, from the plain, solid color bottles, to the ones with intricate designs. They are simply beautiful! I switched from regular plastic water bottles because of health concerns, thinking it would take more work to maintain. These do necessitate regular cleaning (I clean mine every day), but having something so beautiful to drink from makes the cleaning fun. Sort of like my rings, glasses, and watch, I now consider my Sigg personal water bottle a vital accessory, reminding me to drink more water, making a statement about my values, and expressing myself with a special design. Yes, all in a water bottle!
Sigg of Switzerland water bottles are very high quality, made of light aluminum on the outside, slightly insulated, and covered with a special powder coat on the inside that prevents any leaching whatsoever, unlike plastic and polycarbonate water bottles. They are light, durable, and perfect for any activity. Well water tastes spectacular in these bottles, just like from the tap.
Sigg bottles come with several different types of tops. I bought the screw top because I don't like sports tops, and I don't mind unscrewing the top when I want a drink. It is totally leakproof, which is important to me. The top is pretty and can be hooked onto a carabiner. I get comments on it all the time, "What's that? I love it!" The sports top version is ok; I just am not a fan, as I don't feel like I can get enough water from the little stream from the sports top. However, for convenience, you might prefer it. For children, there is a cap-type top. All are leak-proof. If you are ever unsatisfied with the top, you can buy a screw top separately to fit your Sigg bottle.
Sigg makes their personal water bottle in .6L and 1L in this style. I have both. I use the .6L for sports activities because they are smaller. When I won't have to carry the container, I like the larger bottle. Sigg also makes a smaller .3L bottle for children that is a perfect size for young people. You can buy Siggs in alternative sizes too, such as .75L, .4L (for kids), .6L, .5L. You can occasionally find this bottle in the 1.5L size, also. Search Amazon for the perfect size.
Pick a style and pattern you like, as this bottle is a personal accessory, and should reflect your style. The colors are vibrant and even prettier than they seem in the pictures on Amazon.
They are expensive, but they are so durable that you can plan on them lasting many years. I consider them both an accessory and an investment in my health, so they are well worth it value-wise for me.
Highly recommended.
