I never thought I would have to research to find a decent canteen, lesson learned there. I bought a black SIGG bottle about a year ago and I realize now its completely horrible. Terrible opening, hard to clean, I think I have some kind of fungus growing in the crevices on the bottom, probably whats been giving me throat infections and allergies for the past year. It tastes bad and learning about the BPA makes me furious. The overall build quality and materials used is distasteful and wrong. Don't buy into the SIGG scam of the "Swiss Made" bottles that you see with the shady coating inside. Go buy from these people, they know whats up with a good canteen... https://www.kleankanteen.com/index.html. Just have a look around the site, great little company, the kind of competition I like to see, just ordered one right now, thanks Klean Kanteen! you guys are excellent human beings.

No response. I sent in two bottles nearly two months ago and haven't heard a word. Not good for the company's image, but certainly in line with their mentality of avoiding the issue.

So even if they did leach chemicals into the water you know the filter would remove them. I like the product they have and believe they will be the next generation of water bottles. I would rather have one of their bottles and know my water is safe no matter how long i leave it in the car to heat up.

I still have that email. They outrightly LIED. I even knew about the #7 plastic and BPA when my body reacted sensitively. This was also two years before it came out in the news. Don't trust ANY plastic-type substances. It's all petroleum derived.

How there will never be any accountability for Sigg. I guess though, through the negative media attention, it'll sort of run it's course.Anyway, I've tried Sigg and Klean Kanteen but I've found Green Bottle to be the best. Stainless steel (food grade), nice designs, wide mouths, two caps. I have a few and I'm really pleased.

At the bottom he added the following: "BPA can also found in household appliances, children’s toys, cell phones, protective coatings, flame retardants, eyeglass lenses, medical equipment, CDs, DVDs, consumer electronics..."However, most people don't particularly put any of those things in their mouths or drink from them on a daily basis, so not sure why he needed to add that info. That's like saying that BPA is also found in cat box liners, but no one is eating those now are they.
