SIGG water bottles

Just a heads up that Broad Street sells SIGG water bottles. They have the design pictured in blue and red, a blue yin-yang design, and a camouflage bottle.

Siggs are touted as better for your health (due to leaching that happens with Nalgenes and other plastic bottles). According to the My Sigg website, "Due to SIGG's special, proprietary internal coating, these high-tech bottles are resistant to fruit juice acids, energy drinks, alcohol and virtually any consumable beverage. Because the liners are taste and scent neutral, you can enjoy any beverage you'd like – without any lingering smell or taste of the last beverage you drank. The composition of the liner also reduces the chances of bacteria build-up. And because the liner is virtually baked into the inner walls of the bottle, it will not flake or chip even if dented on the outside.
Recently, there has been a lot of press concerning Lexan plastic water bottles (Polycarbonate #7) leaching harmful chemicals into the container's ingredients[maybe they meant contents]. It's extremely important to note that SIGG bottles exceed FDA requirements and have been thoroughly tested to ensure 0.0% leaching – so they are 100% safe."

Anyway. I promise I'm not working for Sigg...I just really don't want to do my reading right now.
