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.

Customer Reviews

I wish I would have known about these sooner!!!! GREAT
I have 4 kids ranging in age from 15 to 3. From the oldest to the youngest these cups are a BIG hit. Not only do they love these cups, but I have not seen a sippy cup spill or regular cup spill since we brought these cups into our home. I even plan on letting the school aged kids pack them in their lunch boxes.

They are much safer to use, because of what they are made of. The plastic cups I used to use contained a chemical called Bisphenol-a (this chemical is also contained in the plastic used to make a lot of baby bottles). I was sickened and wanted an alternative. I researched for a long time online, and came to the conclusion that these cups were the best option for us.

Kleen Kanteen was an alternate choice, but #1-they are made in China, and #2-they do not have the water soluble lining that the SIGG does(you do not taste aluminum this way).

Also, cleaning these is a breeze, you just use hot water. We have used apple juice, water, milk, chocolate milk, grape juice etc. and no leaks!

I JUST LOVE THESE CUPS AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM FOR ANY CHILD THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO TWIST THE CAP OPEN AND SHUT. MY 3 YEAR OLD HAS NOT MASTERED THAT YET, SO I WOULD SAY AGE 4 IS MORE APPROPRIATE.

Better than plastic, but still has it's flaws
We bought a Sigg bottle and a similar one made by Thermos for our child. I like the spout of the sigg bottle better than the built in straw in the Thermos bottle. However, the Sigg bottle conducts the temperatures through to the outside of the bottle (the Thermos one does not). Thus, if we fill it with ice water, the bottle is freezing cold to hold and 'sweats'. If filled with a hot drink the bottle gets hot to the touch. The Thermos bottle seems to have a level of insulation between the inner wall and the outside of the bottle- thus making it much more comfortable for a child to work with. Also, our child had a little trouble with the twisting open/shut of the spout on this bottle and tended to just leave it open, which does lead to leaking.....

Improvements Could Be Made
Chose this because of all the plastic scares. Like it for me. Bought several for my kids. Very expensive. I act like a maniac making sure that they come home from school or camp with their bottles. Easily ding, dent, chip and scratch when they are dropped. Both my 2 & 4yos have trouble opening the twist top. The bottle cap breaks off easily. This seems like a product not designed for kids but retrofitted to meet a new market. We all do like the fun graphics and sophisticated look.
