strong metal water bottles

[Pedroski]

Perfect thank you sir, been messing about with cheapy ones and they are just naff, these seem to be more like it

 

Like others said, still worth looking at the Nalgene ones. I've always had SIGG myself in the past, and while better than some of the cheap stuff, they still get dented easily.

Will it be any good afterwards though?

 

mine was.

Similar to the SIGG but a bit cheaper can be bought from Decathlon stores. Its there own Quechua make. They do 1l bottles for about 6.99 and a two litre for 9.99 (I think).

 

Very robust, had one for about 5yrs, a few dings and dents but still water tight and used every day.

 

If there is'nt a Decathlon near you, you can get them online.

I had a SIGG bottle was fantastic took all sorts of abuse. However running it over the Valtra was some abuse too far. It's no longer water tight and a slightly odd shape.

I've had the same sigg bottle for 13 years, it looks rough but still holding up well.

1L BPA free wide mouth Nalgenes are brilliant.

 

When I'm mountaineering in cold areas I carry 2 and fill 1 with boiling water to use as hot water bottles in your doss bag, then it's drinking water then next day. They are the only bottles i would trust not to leak which in a down bag at -30C could be a tad inconvienient to say the least.

TOP TIP: Use denture cleaning tablets to clean out your drinks bottles, work perfectly and cost a fraction of the Camelbak/Sigg bottle cleaning tablets. They're normally only about a quid for 30-odd.
