Good day.

Sigg bottles are about a Tenner. Other aluminium water bottles are about 2 quid. Does anyone now the difference and are they worth it? Or is it just a brand thing. Normally when I go walking on me camping hols, I take 2 x half litre bottles which can be in anything from Pop bottles to flasks.

Cheers4now dave

Sigg bottles are superior and worth the extra. I've had mine for years. For example, there is a huge difference between the construction and mateiral of the plastic spout if you compare any Sig model to a cheapy one. All the spout parts are removable for easy cleaning so that it is very hygienic. The lightweight aluminum body doesn't absorb odour. Its is 100% leakproof.
I bought a kiddy version for my son when he was 3 and he is still using it now for school. He is now age 6. I once bought a cheapy one from Matalan as a spare,but it leaked and everything about it just looked cheap. Needless to say, I bought another Sig as a spare. Believe me, 99% of the time, you get what you pay for.

Thanks for that. i was a bit bothered about water / milk being tainted as the cheap one seem to have a musty smell? If I am going to get the wear out of it, i think I will try the Sigg.   Cheers4now Dave.

The Sigg ones have a coating on the inside - can't tell you what it is - but the cheaper ones won't, which may give contents a "metallic" taste. (I've been using a mini Sigg for years to take a "wee dram" with me when I'm out backpacking!

Good day,

What goes around comes around.I have just been ( this morning) into TK Max in Wigan. I got told they were selling off Colombia and Helly hansen coats for £ 20. But thats another story. Also in the mens section they have all sorts of odds and sods. I got two 0.6L sigg bottles for £4.99 each. The patterns are a bit bright and gaudy, but no one will see them in the rucksack. They are in a display by the Socks section and there are about 5 / 6 left. same price.

cheers4now Dave.

Dave,

I need a new coat - so were TK Max selling these? Is it worth venturing into town?

Good day,

Yes they are worth getting. Most reduced down from about £150. But they are more the heavier ones. You could not use them in the summer. Some have liners in. I got the Colombia, which is ideal for a bad rainy day on Snowdon. They would be worth keeping when our summer finishes in August ! Main sizes L. Xl and xxl. However I found that some sizes are understated. Try them on and maybe go up a size. A lot of ski wear is being sold off as well. Winter season etc.

Cheers4now Dave.
