Eco-Logical: SIGG Lifestyle Bottles
June 16 2009, Published 6:24 a.m. ET
When is a reusable water bottle not just another water bottle? When it’s a SIGG, "The Original Swiss Bottle", which like their watches, is made with typical Swiss craftsmanship.
Why do we care that it’s produced from a single component that is seamless and has no comparable weak points? Because it makes it pretty much unbreakable, that’s why. To test leading water bottles, Backpacker magazine conducted a field test with the help of a 100 pound cannon packed with golf balls, and destroyed every one, except – you guessed it – the SIGG. (Those folks have too much time on their hands, in our opinion.)
Why do we care that the inside is made with a special, proprietary internal coating? Because these high-tech bottles are resistant to fruit juice acids, energy drinks, alcohol and are taste and scent neutral. And the composition of the liner also reduces the chances of bacteria build-up.
To make it more fun (and make sure no one accidentally grabs your bottle) they have partnered with Café Press, so you can personalize your bottle with your name (see above) or choose one of their fun designs. It’s easy and you can preview your design before you order.
