- BSG Season 1 soundtrack
- Very good and very recognizable as combing traditional sounds and melodies to create something new. By Season 3, this style is clearly developed.

- Works Well and Looks Good!
- Works Well and Looks Good but a little pricey. Did not add any taste to water left in it in the car for more than a week with out any leaks! Minus one star for the price!

- Stop buying bottled water.
- Drinking bottled water is a waste of money and puts extreme strains on the enviornment. Your city's tap water is just as safe, if not safer as it is subject to harsher testing and regulations. This Sigg waterbottle will pay for itself in a few weeks if you were like me, and spending a dollar a day on bottled water.

- Durable, unique and environmentally sound... almost.
- I used to buy a lot of single-serve bottled water and each week found that I had so much plastic bottles in my recycling bin. I have also used Nagalene bottles but found that they weren't much of an improvement from using plastic bottles. Determined to reduce that waste, I found this product.
The SIGG is reminiscent of those camping canteens but with a unique shape and modern design. If you have small hands, it's best that you purchase the kids' version (or the smaller bottle) because gripping this would not be comfortable (my palm-size is about 6.8"). Alternatively, you can carry the bottle via the cap. It's definitely water-tight (as long as you screw the cap on correctly) and I noticed that my drinks remain somewhat cold (as opposed to room temperature).
I rated it 4 stars because it can do with a number of 'improvements':
- the screw cap is made out of plastic: I haven't had a chance to research on whether it is made from recycled plastic but I thought I'd mention that to the "ultra-environmentalists" out there. Still, it's better than consuming water out of a "disposable" plastic bottle daily.
- Because of its design, it feels odd at first when you drink directly out of the spout because of the ridges/screw track. You get used to it, though. You can buy the 'sport cap' attachment but that to me is just a luxury and not necessity.
- A bit difficult to wash; I'm too cheap to purchase the separate cleaning solution so I use baking soda and water to clean the inside. If I fill it with something other than water, I suspect I'd have to get a baby bottle brush to scrub the inside.
Overall, it's a uniquely-shaped and great alternative to reusable Nagalene/Lexan/Plastic bottles. If you're wondering what I've done to my old Nagalene bottles, I use them as spare change holders around the house. ^_^ - 2008-02-19, 6 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Cool Design, Fine Water Bottle
- *****
This is an upscale designer water bottle, top of the line in every way. The designs of Sigg's water bottles are gorgeous--even the plain, solid color bottles are beautiful--but the ones with designs are even better, in my opinion. I like to choose a pattern that reflects me, and this one is just too cool. The word "THINK" and classic restroom-esque pictures of men and women reminds you (in a cool way) of what you are doing by making a conscious choice to use an eco-friendly water bottle.
I switched from regular plastic water bottles because of health concerns, even though I thought a permanent bottle like this 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 less of a chore. 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.
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. They do dent if dropped on a hard surface at a particular angle, but Sigg fans (including me) view this as a type of "seasoning", so that your bottle acquires character. The dents are on the outside layer of the bottle, not the inside layer and so don't interfere with any functionality.
Sigg bottles come with several different types of tops. This bottle has a screw top, which I prefer. I don't mind unscrewing the top when I want a drink. It is totally leak proof, which is important to me. The top is pretty and can be hooked onto a carabineer. If you ever lose the top, you can buy them separately.
Sigg makes their personal water bottle in many sizes. I have quite a few, and like this 1L size for my car and other uses that require a lot of water (like a long hike).
This bottle may seem expensive, but it is so durable that you can plan on it lasting many years. I consider Sigg bottles both an accessory and an investment in my health, so they are well worth it value-wise for me.
Note that Sigg water bottles should not be used to contain boiling water, as this will damage the outer coating. They also cannot be left in the freezer, as it may crack. They can be used for carbonated beverages, if you leave about a half inch of room at the top.
Highly recommended.
