SIGG vs. Nalgene

[cybrok]

Drinking from a wide mouth bottle is also a challenge unless you're standing still. The liquid has a tendency to slosh around and come out anywhere but where your mouth is.

I have a narrow mouth Nalgene and plan to buy the Oasis (similar to a GI Canteen). Works for me.

True, but the SIGG is still narrower by a small amount. You also still have the outside threading.



Klean Kanteen as previously mentioned.

dont forget Canada too! thousands of yuppies, yippies, hippies all wailed and gnashed their teeth and freaked out because they thought they had been drinking BPA ooze in their water. Even after a scientist tried to explain to these idiots that they would have to drink millions of liters of water from a BPA containing bottle to even get any sort of chemical registered in their bodies, the idiots backlashed and freaked out.

You really want to go back to prior generations and play with liquid mercury, toys made out of lead, and cook in aluminum pots and early nonstick cookware? Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

We keep coming up with new technologies that we later find out are dangerous to our health (if not deadly), but people always believe that "now" we've reached the enlightened age where that doesn't happen anymore and technology is perfect.

Maybe the plastic stuff is harmful, maybe it isn't. Given our track record, my vote is for the former. And apart from all the other benefits people have mentioned, I'll stick with my steel bottles.

i broke my original nalgene after years of abuse. well, it was actually my friend, he dropped it from about 3 feet off the ground. he did that to 2 of my nalgenes, one old and one new. now i have the 48oz version but it's not the same material as the other ones.

I bought my wife two 18 oz. Kleen Kanteens a few years ago. She loves them. I also bought a couple of bottle covers for them at Walmart. (She never goes anywhere without her bottle of water.)

By the way, who's to say that Eastman Tritan is any safer then Lexan. It's true that it doesn't contain any BPA, but who knows what other nasty stuff may leach into your water. Lexan was thought to be safe for a long time. Tritan is fairly new. I'll stick to stainless.

Sigg also makes a widemouth bottle with a smaller bottle cap on top of that.

Two lids, one bottle. I've been very pleased with mine.
