Sigg vs Nalgene everday - I can’t wait

Lately I’ve been using a Sigg bottle to bring water with me. I started doing that ever since I read Omar’s entry on BPA.

So far the Sigg bottle has been pretty cool - the water tastes great, and it’s surprisingly light. However, I do miss my Nalgenes for 3 reasons:

  1. The bottle can become untouchably hot if I leave it in the car.
  2. I would much prefer a wide mouth bottle - it makes it a lot easier to clean.
  3. I don’t like the fact that the drinking surfaces are not covered by the lid.

With that in mind, I look forwards to getting a new Nalgene “everyday” bottle when they come out. It appears they will be available in the traditional form factors, and will be made from a new material:

Made from Eastman Tritan™ copolyester that is manufactured without BPA or phthalates.
