Metal water bottle brands

So you’ve decided to take the plunge and buy a metal water bottle, huh? You probably already know of the health benefits versus plastic bottles, but which brand should you buy? Are there any benefits of buying one brand of metal water bottles over another? Let’s find out.

Sigg

Sigg is by far the most popular maker of metal water bottles with so many options to choose from. Their bottles are made from aluminum and have a water-based coating on the inside that prevents the metal from rusting, much like how a soda can is made. Sigg bottles come in a vast variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. Their most affordable metal water bottle, the “Sigg Classic Bottle” is a great choice, comes in many different styles, and starts at only $12.99.

Klean Kanteen

Another very popular metal water bottle brand is Klean Kanteen. Unlike Sigg, Klean Kanteen bottles are made from stainless steel. This means that they do not need an internal plastic coating to prevent the metal from rusting and generally require less maintenance (washing) than Sigg bottles. They also come in a variety of sizes, are designed to fit in the water bottle cage on most bikes, and you can buy special caps made especially for sports use. Klean Kanteen metal water bottles are more affordable than Sigg bottles and can be had for as low as $8.99.

Nalgene

These days nearly everyone is familiar with Nalgene plastic water bottles, but did you know that they make metal water bottles too? If you want to go metal but are afraid of changing brands, Nalgene stainless steel metal water bottles are worth a look. The slightly more expensive option, they can be had for $20 and up.

Why should you buy a metal water bottle?

With all the reasons to buy a metal water bottle, it’s hard to justify not having one. Still waiting to take the plunge? Here are 3 reasons why metal water bottles are a no-brainer:

Save money by refilling your metal water bottle

The cost of buying bottled water can add up fast, especially if you have a big family. In 2006 alone, Americans spent over $11,000,000,000 (yes, that’s billions) on bottled water. At an average cost close to $1 per liter, a family of four spends over $668 per year on bottled water! Shocking considering that most brands (such as Aquafina and Dasani) are simply purified municipal water… the very same water that flows from your kitchen sink. With machines at grocery stores dispensing water for pennies on the gallon and home water purifiers even cheaper, you can’t afford not to buy a refillable metal water bottle.

Avoid the health risks of plastic water bottles

The biggest risk of plastic water bottles is their potential to leach harmful chemicals into your drinking water. Bisphenol A, also known as BPA, is a synthetic chemical compound used to manufacture some plastics used in water bottles. The dangers of BPA have recently been brought to the public eye, with many governments classifying it as toxic. In your body BPA acts as a hormone disruptor, mimicking the natural hormone estrogen.  This can lead to developmental, mood, memory and behavioral problems, particularly in children. Metal water bottles are a safer alternative to plastic bottles, offering peace of mind.

Save the Earth by reducing global warming

American’s only recycle 1 out of every 4 plastic water bottles, leaving 38 billion bottles in landfills each year. The oil it takes to produce that many plastic bottles is equivalent to putting over 1,140,000 cars on the road every year, a very shocking statistic. Using refillable metal water bottles is a great way for everyone to help lessen the effects of global warming. Be a responsible Earth citizen, stop using plastic bottles, and buy a metal water bottle right now.
