I can't compare it to the wide mouthed Columbia bottles of mine because they're threaded on the outside which is annoying. Laken bottles look pretty cool! I'll have to eventually replace the Sigg bottle because I recently dropped it when it was completely full and now it has a dent which will probably break the seal on the inside and cause some corrosion, so I'm going to look into the Laken brand.

I have owned aluminum bottles like these for years. They are for hikers and others who need ultralight, 100% leak-proof containers. Water also tastes better when drank from them because they do not chemicalize the taste like plastic bottles can. In using the cheaper one, I feel the water retains a more metal-tinged taste actually. I don't like Sigg bottles because the openings are too small. I prefer Laken brand because they have larger openings. I agree that Sigg are way over priced. Again, Laken are much cheaper and I feel, better functionally.

But you can get a foam insulated cover for it which works pretty good to prevent sweat and temperature loss. I have one but don't use it except when traveling because the it's harder to drink from. Ed - I wonder if it's cheaper in European countries. Mike - LOL! Shane - No, it sweats. But you can get a foam insulated cover for it which works pretty good to prevent sweat and temperature loss.

You know people have too much money when they start spending $30 on a water bottle. Seriously people, get a life! I’m with Shane on this one.

Though as a Swiss citizen I'd probably still support the Sigg company ;D Sounds like a nice deal! Though as a Swiss citizen I’d probably still support the Sigg company ;D

If I had to guess, or wish, it would be that it doesn't 'sweat'. If that's the case I'll be running to my nearest 3 coin store for one tomorrow.
