Sigg isn’t even any good, way too expensive, not even to mention the shadiness of their BPA scandal.

And I agree with Julia, Klean Kanteen is definitely a solid option in this decision. Good company, been around for a while.

A pretty interesting company that has just recently come into play, however, is WeDrink. They have the same stainless steel bottles we all love, but they also make heavy per-bottle donations to water relief charities. Reminded me a lot of TOMS shoes, but for water.

their website is http://www.charitybottle.com

let me know what you all think

You can read more about the liner and the aluminum here:

Plus if you are using the hard plastic sports water bottles (like Nalgene, baby bottles, sippy cups, refillable water delivery jugs etc.) then the nasty hormone distrupting Bisphenol A is being leached into the water. Mmmm.
Sigg bottles are aluminum. Not so great in my humble opinion.
Now there are stainless steel water bottles. Haven’t yet seen them in Israel. Kleen Kanteen makes them with all sorts of great options like sports bottle tops, sippy cups and in some pretty nifty colours.

The online in-Israel gluten free store that I shop from just started carrying them: http://www.glutenfree.co.il/index.php?main=more_info&site_id=&product=1804&lang=en&sesid=de72f35ba5987ee7102477695b0d76d1&catID=404

I bought mine back in the states and carry it everywhere-love it! These can be dropped, unlike glass.
