About Sigg
It all started with a simple hiker?s bottle. Today, the SIGG bottle has acquired cult status. What happened is a success story that started in Biel, Switzerland in 1908. Küng, Sigg & Cie. manufactured leisure goods, kitchenware, and electrical appliances. The company relocated to Frauenfeld in 1916, where it helped pioneer the legendary tradition of Swiss quality. Since 1998, SIGG has concentrated on its core business: drinking bottles that deliver ultimate customer benefit.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can Sigg bottles be used for boiling water?
A: No. Strong heat can damage the outer coating.
Q: Can dents in the bottle damage the Sigg bottle's inner coating?
A: No, the Sigg inner coating is highly elastic. Dents cannot crack or chip the internal lining and the Sigg bottle remains perfectly usable.
Q: Can I use my Sigg bottle for carbonated drinks?
A: Yes, all Sigg bottle tops provide a 100 percent seal and will not leak. It's recommended that you fill the bottle no further than 1/2-inch below the lip. And before taking a drink, relieve the pressure inside the bottle by gently rotating the entire top.
Q: Are Sigg bottles dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, but because of the narrow mouth of the bottle, hand washing is recommended.
Q: Can a Sigg bottle be placed in the freezer
A: No, as this may cause the bottle to crack. However, the bottle can be chilled in the refrigerator.
Sports reviews of Sigg Lifestyle Loop Top Water Bottle (1.0-Liters)
Customer Review: NOT SAFE, EVEN WITH NEW LINER!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I do not trust this company. The bottles have a chemical liner and the company does not disclose the composition. Some bottles contain the old copper-colored liner which contains BPA, as the company admitted recently. The newer bottles have a different liner, but the company again does not disclose the composition and when I purchased my bottle, after thorough washing, I could detect a weird taste in the water. If the new lining is truly non-toxic, then the company should come clean and reveal the composition. I do not trust that the new liner is any better than the old. I bought mine directly from the SIGG website and their 30-day return policy is a joke (only store credit, $5 restocking fee per item, $10 if it has been used, plus of course you pay for shipping). So now I am stuck with a possibly toxic bottle that I cannot use. I recommend you buy stainless steel bottles like those from Klean Kanteen, which even SIGG's research posted on their website showed that they do not leach anything toxic.Customer Review: Beware of BPA
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I have used Sigg bottles for years and have given out many as gifts ever since I became aware of BPA in plastics. So it was a shock to me when Sigg just recently release information that bottles made before 8/08 have BPA in the lining. The company then had a voluntary recall that only lasted 2 months in 2009. I had recently written to Sigg and said I am still able to exchange my old bottles for ones with the new lining although the official program has ended. I will sent my bottles back to see if I can get bottles with the new lining. Just a little skeptical since I have read many blogs from people who sent in old bottles and were never sent new ones. I still really like the Siggs since they are lighter than the stainless bottles, but I am definitely considering the latter. If you are ordering a Sigg, make sure you are getting the bottles with new lining.Customer Review: SIGG put BPA in bottles and lied to consumers - What a bunch of jerks!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
Now that I know SIGG knowingly lied to consumers (including me in an email exchange I had with the company) about BPA in their bottles, I would NEVER BUY A SIGG AGAIN. I purchased a SIGG for the same reasons I purchase organic food, I thought it was safer for my children. But SIGG betrayed that trust. The company DID put BPA in its liners and lied to all of us. In fact, I've contacted the firm Caddell & Chapman about the class action lawsuit. I bought a SIGG to be safe and they deceived and lied to make more money. Now all they will offer is to exchange my BPA bottle for a new one. Oh, ya, sure, I trust you now. Just give me a new bottle. I want my money back and I'll hope that my kids were not affected by the BPA you snuck into the bottle. What a bunch of jerks!

Customer Review: Try EarthLust instead -- they're way better, and no toxic lining!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
SIGG finally supposedly abandoned their old BPA-laced liners, so now they're marketing even more heavily to the health-conscious. The problem is, their bottles are still lined with some kind of plastic, and they still won't explain what it is. It would be irrational to trust them! If you care about what's in your water, go check out EarthLust instead. I threw away all of my old SIGG bottles and replaced them with EarthLust. The EarthLust bottles are food-grade stainless so they don't need a lining and don't have one -- which means no carcinogenic plasticizers in your water. They are comparably priced, and come in some gorgeous designs as well as plain stainless. And, they have completely excellent, water-tight lids that are easy to use, and come with a carabiner attached. Go EarthLust!!! They're just so much better than SIGG.Customer Review: Don't buy to be green

Sigg bottles had quite the jump in sales when everyone started avoiding plastic and specifically Nalgene due to BPAs (a chemical) that were in the plastic. They did this while quietly lining their bottles with BPA plastic. This was announced when they came out with new ones, and there is (was) an exchange program. Now I went to their site and found that they sell PVC stickers to go on the outside of your bottles for decoration purposes. While you do not drink out of this sticker, PVC and the inks that are typically used to print on PVC outgas nasty chemicals (VOCs) and are not at all recyclable (they are laminated with adhesive). This is NOT something that an environmentally concerned company would do. Perhaps Kleen canteen is better - at least they are stainless.
Do what you will with this information.
