Water bottles may not be the first idea that comes to mind when thinking of mobile gear. However, many people prefer to carry water, tea or juice with them rather than deal with the unreliability and expense of purchasing drinks on the road. There are many water bottles to choose from today but you may not have seen the Sigg water bottles yet.
I bought a new Sigg water bottle while I was shopping at Eastern Mountain Sports the other day. I was first attracted to the Sigg bottles because they are different and look rather cool. These bottles are actually quite light too. The one-liter Sigg bottle I bought is narrower than the Nalgene bottles I am used to using. This lets you carry your water bottle in some pack pockets that don’t accomodate the wider Nalgene bottles as well. Since the bottle is made of aluminum it actually keeps water cool longer than the lexan or plastic bottles.
If you are like me and are not familiar with Sigg water bottles here is some background. According to the company website, www.sigg.ch, Sigg Switzerland was started in 1908 and the bottles are sold in 40 countries worldwide. Sigg makes their bottles from a single piece of aluminum so there are no seams to leak. Sigg bottles also feature a lining that is resistant to fruit acids and isotonic drinks so you’re not limited to just water when you fill up. The inner lining is also designed to be elastic so dents should not damage the lining.
Sigg puts out a pretty cool water bottle for about $20. These bottles are available in several sizes and in many different colors and print patterns so you can have a bottle that is different from what everyone else is using!
