Product Hunt: Water Bottle (part III)

See previous hunt posts: Part I, Part II

The hunt is over! After researching one last time for more types of reusable water bottles, GreenerMiami decided on this Sigg. We purchased the "closeout color" of Slate Green for a $6 discount. Incidentally, the color looks very much like a metallic dark gray. Total cost, inflated by almost $5 shipping was about $17.

A lot for a water bottle, maybe. But not really. Didn’t bring water with you? Buy a bottle for $1. Happens a lot, right? Plus, you are creating trash. Not to mention the distribution for each bottle to get to you. It really works out in the end.

So, my review of this Sigg bottle. Overall, very happy with it. Lightweight, doesn’t leak at all. Water tastes clean, though with a slight ‘metal’ taste. I have mistreated it sufficiently, sometimes leaving it closed for days without cleaning, and it never develops that disgusting sour smell that plastic water bottles tend to do. Additionally I purchased a clip (Sports Authority, $1) to place through the hole in the lid that allows me to connect the bottle to a backpack, purse, or bag. The bottle comes with clear instructions on how to clean, store, and use. I am a pure water drinker, so I have not tried with flavored or carbonated drinks, but they are included in the guarantee. It is my assessment that the Sigg 0.6 Liter Traveller was a great find for Product Hunt: Water Bottle!

The Sigg website lists that the bottles are sold locally in Genius Jones on Lincoln Road, although I couldn’t confirm it.
