Normal opening size and very comfortable. Good diameter for my hands. Ideal dimensions for fitting in my pack.
It is a good size water bottle. Great for a day out, going to the gym. It’s tough.
I use it daily as i am outside all day everyday.
I would recommend it.
Very good Swiss made water bottle…what more can you ask for?
Well made item with an excellent quality finish. No metallic taste when containing water which can be found in some cheaper items.
I lost my old faithful, don’t think I will miss this one if it drops in the heather!
Made in Switzerland to the highest standard. BPA-free, sterile and easy to use. Perfect for the family – have bought several of these (of various designs) over the years.
Beautiful colour red bottle very strong can fill it with a lot of wate
Very tough and looks great, can scratch however if mishandled. I use a stainless cleaner to keep it looking smart.
Cool bottle, I had one years ago that somehow got lost and I ended up getting a Nalgene instead but Nalgene is too bulky for the same capacity, so after 8 years I’m back with a SIGG, unfortunately the color clearly stated as YELLOW and showing a bottle in a beautiful lively YELLOW is only false advertisement as what you get is the color “mustard” which admittedly I didn’t even know was a color, its mustard in a matt finish, very very far from what I expected and what the image shows, also for some reason the bottle can’t stand flat, very likely poor quality control too… maybe SIGG isn’t what it used to be, or maybe it was never that good to begin with… who knows, now I’ll have to hammer around the bottom until I can get it to stay flat and I’ll have to fool myself into thinking I like that color every single time I see it … bah.
Great quality well made bottle was delivered with a crack/dent due to delivery driver shoving it through my letterbox but still does the job..!
Having checked the SIGG website itself and checked the 1l version technical specs it clearly says the weight is 108g. I will stress that this is Sigg’s own website under the 1l bottle – I was very certain to check this thoroughly before purchase. I figured that 30g extra wouldn’t break the back and went ahead. I could see that the traveller version 1l weighed in at 147g and I figured that this may be the difference between the ‘touch’ and ‘traveller’ range.
Upon arrival I weighed the item and it actually weighs 147g. This may sound petty to some people but when you are doing multiple long range hikes over large areas all back to back the weight you carry is a very important factor. I then went back to Sigg’s own website and, sure enough, it says under the 1l bottle 108g weight. I then checked the 0.6l litre version out of curiosity and it also says 108g weight.
I can only conclude that they have transposed the same information over both products – so, yes, it is very light weight but just be aware that there is no weight differential between the touch 1l and the traveller 1l and that the 108g weight refers only to the 0.6l variation.
Not sure how much I can write about a water bottle.
The colour is nice (aqua). It’s metal so keeps the water nice and cool.
The screw-on cap is a little more annoying than I envisaged – having to unscrew and screw it back on all the time. Probably should have bought one with a quick release lid.
Lost one star because there was a very small dent in the bottle. There is no protective packaging apart from a bit of tissue paper wrapped around the outside. Couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of returning, so I just put up with it.
Solid, light, looks the part and doesn’t leak.
One slight annoyance: if filled above 80%, water *climbs* the thread of the cap and spills when opened. Don’t know how else to explain it, water must get stuck in the rubber gasket during transit and the leak when the pressure is released. Not a real issue, just an observation.
Would happily buy again.
I bought my first Sigg bottle in 2005 and it lasted 15 years. I’ve had to buy two replacements since. This isn’t anything to do with a change in the product: it’s because my kids have abused the bottles beyond their limits. The bottle is lightweight because it’s thin. This means it’s fragile. If you drop it, or (heaven forbid) try the bottle flip trick on hard ground, you will ding the base and crack it. This might happen to you even if you don’t have horribly destructive children, and so you will want something like this:

It will add weight, and (more importantly) cost half as much as your bottle again.
I only use this as a cold water bottle for work. I like that the rim is small to drink from – there is very little chance of sloshing it up your face! It’s secure – never had a leak. Handy ring on the top to carry it by. If you drop it – it dents, but it’s still useable. My old one looked like I threw it down a cliff – still worked though! This is my second one. I had the first for a few years and it just got a bit tattered and worn looking so I bought another! I expect in a few years I’ll buy my third. Highly recommend for a cool water bottle.
I’ve used these SIGG bottles in the past and they’re honestly awesome. This particular one I was excited to receive, however it came with a dent which is disappointing given the amount I paid for it and the quality I expected from this company. The product wasn’t packaged properly and I think this is why the dent was caused.
The 1.5l I got this time is more of a matte finish compared to the shinier royal blue one I had in the past. And I particularly liked the double lid feature, which makes it much easier to clean and refill.
I have had this product before and have had it for years but lost my last one. So I knew I was getting an excellent product. One thing has let it down and that’s the packaging, it was put in the box to one side with no protection on that side and has arrived with a dent. It’s not the end of the world but when you buy something brand new it would be nice for the dent to be my fault.
Bought my1st one in the late 80’s, Bought my second one a month or so later, sadly I had to buy a 3rd one a couple of years later, I left it on a table at an outdoor Ed centre came back a couple of minutes later and it was gone. Sigg bottle make water taste better, probably something to do with what looks like a brass lining.
My youngest son never like drinking water, I suggest he try one of my sigg bottles. His comment, tap water is better from a sigg bottle. That was about 8 years ago. The 2 bottles are still going strong, The. Boy has taken them to university. I have just bought a new sigg water bottle 2016. Best water bottles I have ever had, great product. They pay for themselves, why buy water in plastic bottle.
Sigg water bottles, compared to many other bottles, are such a great quality that once you have one no other bottle will seem on par. I use them for work, the gym and generally anywhere I go however I do think that the 0.6 litre is a more comfortable size to use.
For anyone looking to buy one they are Incredibly lightweight, very secure, easy to handle and even BPA Free. I would recommend only using them for plain/flavoured water though as I can imagine milk and juices could cause a lingering smell.
Some people have had problems with the lid on these bottles but I have found if you put the lid on properly you will have no problems whatsoever. I feel the dilemma some people encounter is of their own doing from probably crossing the thread or over tightening the lid to break the thread. In brief, take care of the bottle, use it properly, clean it properly and you will have a great bottle in your collection.
If you have never bought a SIGG water bottle before you might be worried about the water being tainted with a weird taste. I have never experienced such a problem even after leaving the water for a couple of days. In this regard I don’t think I would treat this bottle any differently to a plastic bottle.
The bottles are light-weight and seal well, however being made out of aluminium they are susceptible to dents and bumps. Given the activities I take these bottles out on I see these dents as something of a keep-sake which add character to the bottle, but I can see why some people would be put off by it. In terms of the longevity of the paint on this particular bottle I cannot really advise, but other painted SIGG bottles I have seen begin to peel only after many years of sustained use.
This particular SIGG bottle is a very nice looking one. The colour is what I would describe as ceramic white but with a glossy finish, and overall it looks great 🙂
If you are worried that the water is going to taste bad, you don’t need to be. As long as you clean the bottles frequently (we bought a special cleaning brush, which is slightly angled for ease of use) and rinse them daily, you will be fine.
The seal is very good and there is no leakage; the ‘hook’ cap is perfect for lifting them and carry them around and the best thing about this product is that when it’s empty it’s very, very light; maybe not quite as light as a plastic bottle but not far off, so you can keep the empty bottle in your handbag and then fill it up when you get to work etc.
Oh I nearly forgot, the water tends to stay cold for a long time as well. I have never tried using these bottles with flavoured drinks or hot drinks, so I can’t give an opinion on that.
Overall, a great product and hopefully one that is kind to the environment, too.
I bought one two of these as a gamble and I was really pleased that I did, so I ordered another as well! Been told I need to drink more water, so I filter it and then drink it from these as plastic, apparently is now also bad for you! Used to spend so much on Evian Water bottles, then thought against the plastic part!
In a nutshell, these are amazing quality, keep the water cool for some time, the convenient handle on the top makes it easy to carry both the bottles using my fingers whilst I carry other items with my hands (if that makes sense!).
5 Star all the way, they are bottles and meant for carrying water so don’t expect any other surprises!
Thinking of buying more when I travel! Only down side, I am always making sure I don’t clatter them together or drop them in case I make a dent in the bottle!
Would also suggest you buy the tablets to clean them, I use one every 6 months to give it a good rinse out or after I put something other than water in them!
