ALLS BEEN SAID,SIMPLE IS BEST

just as everyone else has said,last for years,my 0.6 bottle is 20 years old now,has got lots of dents in it and some of the blue paint has come off...but that was because a couple of nerds I was on Kinder with thought it would be fun to load my pack with a huge bit of the hill while I was taking a pee.Someone once told me that putting a banger(firework sort)inside,screwing the top on,is a first class way of getting out those dents!! not tried it myself but would love to hear of the result if anyone is up for it.

Maybe the rubber ring could last a tad longer,but thats nit picking.

Still the best,even though I use hydration systems most of the time.If on a longish trip I'll still take a Sigg too.

IT'LL ONLY LAST YOU 20 YEARS!

Carries water, looks uber-cool (especially when dented). Replaceable tops and sealing washers.

I'm deeply disapointed that after going to the lengths of buying a new sealing washer my Sigg bottle has let me down and started leaking through a pin sized hole.

After twenty odd years of service including two ascents of Mt Blanc and numerous other exploits my trusty Sigg bottle has finally cried enough. Every dent tells a story (and there are lots of dents). Goodbye old friend, I'll miss you but your top will live on as a spare for your successor.

EXCELLENT BOTTLE

Top quality, no clever (meaning leaky) top, tough-tough-tough

dents easily, it can be killed!

Really cool, top quality drinks bottle, as it gathers dents and scratches is just makes you look a more serious outdoorsy type of person, simple screw top is bomb proof,....However, they may survive being run over by a landrover but I know from personal experience that they will not survive bouncing around with toolbox, bumper jack etc in the back of a landrover (I admit this is probably a bit more abuse than they are designed to take), I now have a new one.

RELAX, ITS A SIGG

Rediculousy indispensable. Will go round the world more times than you, your dad and your grand dad

Dents easily. DO NOT USE AS A TENT-PEG-PUTTER-IN-ERER.

Taken mine on every trip, lightweight enough to shove in your pack and use to fill your camelbac up in streams.
nifty bit of kit that will never need replacing. Also rumored to be able to take a landie running over it.

WON'T LEAK, WILL DENT

won't leak, even after some hard abuse. Very light. Does not flavour drinks. Works well as a hot flask, if insulated.

Looks very old very soon as it dents and the paint comes off. Expensive.

Basically a wonderful bottle if you can overlook its looks after a few trips, when it will look quite battered. My biggest dent was caused by dropping it full, which put a large crease in side near the bottom, and has probably reduced capacity by 5%, but no leak. Very light weight for a 1 litre bottle too. Sharp rocks have also failed to puncture it, but have added their marks... Absolutely no hint of flavouring from the inside. If using in winter, make drinks with boiling water and wrap in a spare fleece or whatever. Lasts for hours hot and all day warm.
