Water bottles (one brand in particular)

Aren't Sigg alloy? Stainless Steel shouldn't corrode.
possibly... but it will still freeze :sad:. The insulated podium bottles take much much longer to freeze the water in them when out cycling...

True, but in winter when it's likely to freeze I use some cheap Tesco stainless steel flasks. They're useless at keeping drinks hot but pretty good at stopping them them freeze.

FYI the older Sigg and similar bottles used a coating that is carcinagenic, I can't remember what it is or when they stopped using it though.

mine corroded that quickly (think 2 years or so) that they were frequently replaced. Gave up on them totally about 6 or 7 years ago when I came across a camalbak insulated bottle and am still on that very same bottle (albeit with a new lid!)... We also carry a Thermos flask (this one or this one) but that is for hot drinks and they really do keep the water scolding hot for 18-24 hrs in very cold conditions (have only tried it in day time temps of -15C though)

The Sigg bottles didn't use a carcigenic coating, they however were not BPA free due to the resin used between the outer skin and the inner skin.

If not BPA free doesn't that mean they contained BPA...BPA is well proven to be carcinogenic isn't it?

Ah right I didn't know the in's and out's I just went stainless. The only plastic bottle I've got left is a 1 litre CamelBak sippy cup thing that said BPA free on the label.

I'm about to go to Camelbak, going to get the big podium chill bottles. 750ml capacity as opposed to six something on the standard podium chill bottles

currently using a Torq bottle that I got given as a sample.
