I have used this Sigg bottle for almost 4 years and had it on almost all of my most epic climbs.
I've loved it and hated it. On Mescalito in July it became my most prized posession. When my friend screwed the top on wrong and it soaked my shoes and chalk bag while approaching a climb, it showed its evil side.
what about your Bottle?

i used to use a huenersdorf plastic bottle.. never ever leaked... but too heavy.

Sigg is great for fuel,
but don't you wonder about that flavor you get after 4 years of vermin in the corners that you can't see?

Nice bottle! I like the consolidated skate sticker too. I've used a metal "clean canteen" bottle. Its always a little funky smelling though. Beat to sh#t and still holds 40 oz of water. Served me very well.

My freshman college roommate was in a work-study program and had duties in the bio lab. He 'procured' a number of 1L Nalgene lab bottles. Back then, Nalgene was specifically in the labratory supply business. No silly attached cap, no wide mouth for ice or cleaning. If Chuck Norris was going to actually use a bottle, he'd use one of these.

Gunkie,

really excellent bottle.

I bugged the folks at nalge for a double walled bottle
for a while, but they gave up on it.

solve that molding problem and you have serious bucks.

and for your bottle i have a question...

where is the stain of crystalline I at the bottom ?
