 Sigg bottles are terrific. April 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love my Sigg bottle (I have two now). They are a fantastic alternative to disposable plastic bottles. The sport top, however, has it's limitations. If you don't wear lipstick, it's wonderful. But if you have lipstick or even lip balm on, it's better just to unscrew the lid and drink that way, otherwise, it gets all over. Because it is leak-proof, you have to put your lips to the top and "push" to get the water out and that pushing motion causes anything on the lips to be on the sport top, and even back on your face, outside the lip area. That is the only caveat that I can think of. Highly, Highly recommend this product!
 good bottle, confusing caps April 5, 2008

I got the Sigg bottle because our office went disposables-free, and I'm sensitive enough that I can taste the metal in the steel drinking bottles that were the company recommended alternative. The liner and cap do appear to be taste-neutral to me. The painted aluminum finish feels fine against the skin and has no metallic or paint taste or smell. And, as an artist, it's an extra bonus to have the coolest looking drinking bottle in the building.
Anyone considering the butterfly design might also appreciate knowing that its 'soft blue' is as bright purple in person as it looks onscreen. That's actually what I was hoping for, so no complaints from me on that account.
I couldn't find a concrete explanation anywhere about the different types of tops on Sigg bottles, so some other customers might be confused as well...
The loop/ring top is pretty self-explanatory, but if you're planning to drink directly from the bottle rather than pour from it, it might help to know that although the opening has nicely smooth rounded edges, when drinking directly from it you can feel the seam between the outer shell and liner. It's not rough or dangerous, but not everyone would be entirely comfortable with the feel.
The regular drinking top has a pop-up spout, with 2 settings; open and closed. The cover is connected by a plastic loop around the neck of the bottle, is removable and can move around when open.
The 'active sport' cap twists from a closed/locked position to a leak-proof open position. That means you need to press down on the cap to drink, but won't accidentally pour water all over yourself if you carry it around open or knock it over on your desk. The push-down nozzle takes a bit of getting used to, since you either need to press it (pretty firmly) in against your mouth when drinking or hold it down with a finger. Once I got familiar with it though, it was pretty simple to hook a forefinger over the edge of the cap when holding the bottle by the neck, so I can drink or pour one-handed while pressing it down. The cover on the active sport is hinged, but can be removed if desired. It's supposedly mud-proof, but I - fortunately - haven't had a need to test that.
Both drinking caps can be taken apart for thourough cleaning, but don't come apart easily by accident.
Best beverage bottle ever! March 29, 2008
I did not buy the Sigg for water really. I put diet iced tea or diet Coke in it to take to work daily. I have had no leakage issues and the beverages remain cold till lunch time. Not to mention the sheer cuteness of the product! I got the Fantasy White and it is so beautiful. I am definitely getting another colour soon.
 Big stumble for Amazon! March 19, 2008

The one star is for Amazon's packaging treatment. I ordered 2 Sigg water bottles for my family and they put both of them into a giant, huge( 19" x 13" ) box, with some air pack (you know, the air pillows?).
Hmmm... let me think: unwrapped, painted metal bottles, large empty box, loose packagang material - sound like a great chance for everything to get banged together and scratched up for 2 days during transit! Whadda deal!
Soooo diappointed. Did they have to use such a big box? This all could have been avoided by wrapping the bottles in some plastic baggies and putting them in a small box with a cardboard divider between. New hire? No small boxes? Can you tell I'm livid beyond belief? They're lucky they hide their phone number.
Just what I hoped for February 22, 2008
This water bottle looks stylish and works really well. It's sturdy and doesn't leak, which is what I was looking for. My only complaint is that you have to press the top down to drink from it, and it's a little difficult.
