holidays with the corps.... sigg bottles review!

for my first holiday gift guide product review, i want to tell you about some awesome high-tech reusable water bottles that we received from SIGG!  SIGG sent caleb and i each a bottle to review, and we have been using them everyday for the past couple of weeks, changing up beverages, testing the bottles, seeing what features we like best.  we had been reusing Evian and SmartWater bottles for ages.... seriously, i had bought an Evian from the gas station in oregon before we traveled back to north carolina eight months ago and was still using it.  i am so happy to replace my nasty plastic bottle with something more stylish, and that reduces my carbon footprint.



these two bottles we got are super trendy and very durable.  caleb is so hard on so many of his possessions, totally due to work.  everything gets tossed into his backpack or in the back of the truck along with a handful of other things and things get beat up pretty bad.... let's just say, his SIGG bottle is still in great condition!  each SIGG bottle is extruded from a single piece of pure aluminum for maximum stability.  they are leak proof (when you put the lid on correctly.... trial and error on my part!) but are very light weight, so this makes it easy to tote around.  i keep mine in the diaper bag!!

each SIGG bottle has a baked-on, non-toxic inner lining that exceeds FDA requirements, so you never get a metallic taste, and you can change beverage type with no after-taste of what you had before.  caleb switched between water, crystal light and coke zero with no taste transfer!  i think that's awesome!!

you can purchase SIGG bottles from major retailers world-wide.  bottles come in approximately 100 different shapes and styles, including SIGG kids.... which will be my next SIGG purchase, for sure! 

bottles start at just $21.99, and while you may balk a bit at the price, these bottles will last you nearly twenty years!

the short and sweet version:

pros

• trendy, stylish (yes, that's my number one pro here - hehe!)
• extremely durable
• no metallic after-taste or taste transfer from other drinks
• environmentally friendly

cons

• a bit pricey
• not all styles sold in local stores (yet!)

these bottles would make an awesome stocking stuffer for family, friends, or the outdoor enthusiast neighbor!
