My Sports Water Bottle

Looking for a metal water bottle?

They’re
great to carry your water, and recent reports have claimed that they’re
safer than drinking from plastic bottles – especially the disposable
ones found in stores.

Here’s a quick overview of the best on the market

- Klean Kanteen

Kleen Kanteen bottles are made of stainless steel, making them easy to clean and easy to take care of.

Stainless steel is known to not hold odors and is easy to clean. As well, it’s dishwasher safe.

I normally carry a Klean Kanteen metal water bottle with me when I’m out for the day – it’s a great water bottle to carry with me!

- Sigg

Sigg
bottles are aluminum. I’ve found that Sigg bottles normally have
different fun patterns on them, and give the “designer” in you more
selection.

If you’re looking for variety, Sigg is a great brand to work with.

As
the inside of the bottle is a special liner, the inside is not
necessarily aluminum. As of August 2008, it is a BPA (a chemical found
in some plastics that is reported to be very bad for your health) free
liner.

In my personal experience, both the Klean Kanteen and
Sigg have stood up to a number of drops, falls, and mistakes in the
times that I’ve had them.

As a summary of differences, Siggs
normally give you a wider choice of variety, while Kleen Kanteens,
being made of stainless steel, should retain less odors and textures
from various liquids you place in them.

When using a metal water bottle, always make sure you are cleaning it on a regular basis – regardless of the brand.

This will prevent bacteria buildup, as well as reduce abrasions on the inside.

It’s
also important to make sure that you have more than one handy – keep a
few around the house so you won’t get caught out when one or two need
to be cleaned.
