Much Better Sigg!

By Brad Bleak December 22, 2009

I exchanged my BPA lined bottles bought in Switzerland a decade ago & I had a ton of issues with the, "Eco-lined Traveller" bottles I got in return...

...THE PAINT WAS CHIPPING OFF THE LIP INTO MY STOMACH & THERE WAS PAINT CHIPS IN THE THREADS ALSO!!!

I really couldn't believe that Sigg doesn't paint those bottles about a half, quarter or eighth of an inch below the lip but they don't, IN 5 DAYS I HAD PAINT CHIPPING OFF THE LIP & PAINT SPECS FROM THE THREADS COMING OFF AS I WAS DRINKING (couldn't believe they spray that paint in the threads also, WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?)...

...a super expensive bottle & it chips paint into my system, wow, what a deal!

But the WIDE MOUTH is much better, the ridges on the sides make it much more durable & with 2 different screw tops you can fit a water filter into it (perfect for backpacking) & you can add ice also.

But then you still get the smaller traditional Sigg lid to drink out of or fill up from the faucet (yes, tap water is still good out here in Utah!).

I recommend the Wide Mouth & if Sigg fixes how they paint their bottles I'd say that any Sigg bottle is pretty much copacetic (but I love this one with the ridges because the other Sigg bottles dent quite easily).
