Obviously not a SIGG, but this alternative is a great deal. However, the logo on the eagle is already peeling, which is quite dissappointing!

I bought two because it was a good deal. The bottle is a good size and the cap seals well. However, I tried sticking my water in the freezer before I took off to the gym only to find the bottle shattered. The clip is more a display than anything else because that also broke with time.
McNett Aquamira Frontier Pro Ultralight Water Filter Save 30% off
Despite a lack of reviews when I purchased this unit, I decided to risk the $20 due to its novel design. After a couple of trips, I have to say I''m impressed. I''ll be taking the filter with me on future trips.If you''re into ultralight backpacking or simple day hikes, this filter could save you a lot of weight. It screws onto any standard soda/pop/water bottle (think Coke, Sprite, Aquafina, etc.) and you bite/suck through the nozzle (like a CamelBak) to drink; the water is filtered between the bottle and your mouth.
I coupled the filter with a 1.5L Smart Water bottle (available at most grocery stores) due to the Smart Water''s unique size/shape combination, which makes it easier to carry and squeeze. The system acted as an excellent backup unit during my trips. I just filled the bottle directly from the water source, screwed on the filter, and drank. Much easier than pumping.
The unit is also supposed to work with the included straw (for drinking directly out of water sources) or with hydration packs (in place of a regular bite valve). I have not tried either configuration, so I can''t attest to their effectiveness.
Pros:
----------
+ Works like it''s supposed to
+ Small and very light
+ Low-cost
+ Fits onto any standard soda/pop/water bottle
+ Stretchy silicone/rubber neck keeps cap in place while closed and safely attached while drinking
+ Entire thing floats if accidentally dropped into water
+ Comes with several replacement pre-filters
Cons:
----------
Non-replaceable filter cartridge (you can buy a whole new one for $20, but that creates unnecessary garbage)
Flow rate isn''t terribly fast. It feels like a slower CamelBak, and you might have to start squeezing the bottle as it empties.
Only practical for one person (unless you don''t mind sharing)
Things to watch out for:
----------
* To increase filter life, make sure you use the included pre-filter
* Leaks when used with soft-bodied Platypus bladder-bottles (NOT the same thing as hydration packs; these soft "bottles" are basically small plastic bags with integrated water bottle spouts). The filter screws on, but not tightly enough to create a vacuum seal. This makes drinking very difficult and gets everything wet. I had no such problem with regular, hard-bodied bottles.
* Long-term reliability/flow rate is uncertain due to a lack of reviews.
* This unit does not filter viruses -no pump/mechanical-action filter does except for the First Need series. You''ll need chlorine tablets if this is a concern to you, though it should not be in most North American waters.
* This will not work with Nalgenes (even narrow-mouthed ones), Kleen Kanteens, or SIGGs.
Conclusion:
----------
All in all, I love this little thing and will be taking it with my as a backup filter for future trips. It''s great if you''re camping near a water source and don''t want to have to keep pumping for drinking water. Just remember what it''s designed for: solo drinking out of a dirty water bottle, not group filtration into clean bottles.
Buy McNett Aquamira Frontier Pro Ultralight Water Filter Now
Certain products are designed to do certain things. Such as you would not drive a race car to the local corner store, or back and forth to work. A race car was designed to be on the race track, not the neighborhood streets.The Aquamira Frontier Pro Water Filter is designed for a certain purpose, and users need to be aware of those purposes and limitations.
The filter will not remove viruses. They have to be killed with chemical treatment.
The filter will not remove certain types of bacteria.
However, it is light wieght, easy to use, has no moving parts to break and is easy to clean.
Instead of drinking the water straight from the stream, you could fill up a water bottle, add some purification tablets, then use this filter to help remove the chemical taste.
I wish the filters removed more bacteria and that replacment filters were avaible. Having to buy a new unit when the filters get dirty is a turn off.
The plastic housing seems kind of weak. Its not made out of a high impact plastic, its more like a cheap plastic that toys are made out of.
If you are on a budget, this might get the job done. But if you can afford a full fledged filter, then go ahead and buy something better.

This is a great product for the price.I use it as a gravity filter, filtering from a 2.5L platypus bottle into my hydration bladder (the jason klass method). Works excellent this way!
You should use a chemical treatment as well, as others have noted, but I would suggest using the chemical treatment no matter what type of filter you are using.
so its not like an extra process or something...
The only thing that would make this better would be if it had replaceable filter cartridges. It does not, but will still filter well over the 50 gallons it claims as long as you keep your pre-filter clean and replace it as often as needed.
For this price its worth it, it will probably take 2 seasons for me to go through 50 gallons of water.

After four months, it looks like the company has roundly ignored the following complaint I sent in Sept. 2010:Dear Aquamire/McNett,
I purchased four filters for 30 days on the JMT despite reviews that the product easily clogs and freezes. I figured since I was headed into the High Sierra with exceptionally clear water sources that I would be ok as long as I checked and changed the prefilter regularly, and slept with it in my bag every night to avoid freezing. Sadly, all four filters failed. The failures I experienced were of two kinds:
1. The filters all leaked from the threaded joint where the prefilter sits. Thus, unfiltered water trickled down onto and into my clean water reservoir.
2. All four filters clogged up well before their advertised 50 gallon capacity. In fact, none of them lasted more than 40 liters despite clear sources and daily checks/replacement of the prefilter.
I found myself having to rely on iodine tablets and the kindness of other hikers who allowed us to use their pump filters. I am extremely unhappy to have had to pay as much as I did for such a hassle, indignity and risk to our health.
In addition to money misspent on your filters, I''ve lost my investment in the compatible Platypus products which we had to purchase in order to use your product. (Actual amazon.com receipts are enclosed). Needless to say, I cannot rely in future on your gravity filters; therefore, in addition to the expense of purchasing four filters, my expenses totaled $199.87
Not good, please advise.

NALGENE Tritan 1-Quart Narrow Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle
I''m one of those who continue to reuse the disposable water bottles until the wife throws them away. Using filtered tap water(Pur filter)with this bottle gives excellent results, great tasting water. I need a large bottle for the gym and this one does the job. Due to it''s shape it is pretty compact for its volume so it is not a chore lugging it around. Its a thick plastic so it does minimal job of insulating, much more so than the disposable bottles.
BPA-Free
Relatively indestructible (scratches kind of easily but never shatters)
Large capacity
Be careful, however, not to place it on the bottom rack of the dishwasher because you can melt the cap, which will make the bottle leak. As a side note, it''s difficult to find replacement caps for the narrow mouth b/c they''re not as popular as the wide mouth caps. The plus of the narrow mouth is that you don''t spill on yourself when you drink out of it. The con is that it''s difficult to fit stuff in the bottle like ice or lemon.
Buy NALGENE Tritan 1-Quart Narrow Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle Now
Great bottle: light-weight when empty, very charming (transparency and color), narrow mouth suits perfectly to the human mouth and the price is so reasonable for a multi-use and multi-purpose container. A lot of people in the gym liked this bottle so much and many times I''ve been asked where I bought it along with what its brand is. The 5th star is missing because the first time I washed it -by handsome part of the logo tore off and the remaining is easily tearable. The mono-color measure prints on the back, on the other hand, seem durable because the technique they were printed differs from that on the front. Anyway without omitting the warning about the print issue I would definitely recommend this product to anybody interested in buying a handsome portable light-weight bottle. I''m happy to consume less plastic bottles and paper cups now. Please make your choice on BPA-free reusable products as much as possible.Read Best Reviews of NALGENE Tritan 1-Quart Narrow Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle Here
This has been the best purchase for me. It is so much easier to clean and maintain than the stainless steel bottles I was previously using. Another plus is that the container is so light weigt (and durable) that it''s a breeze carrying 32 oz of water to school with me everyday. Also when I refill it during the day I can see how many ounces I''m putting into the bottle. Plus the narrow mouth makes it so much easier to drink from than their wide mouth version. Some people have complained that they are difficult to clean-not true. If you are a water drinker like me all you have to do is put a little soap in the bottle, fill it with warm or hot tap water and let the bottle soak for a few minutes (remember to scrub around the inside/outside of the neck of the bottle & inside the cap) then rinse out all the soapy water and residue. If you drink something other than water then after the bottle has soaked for a few minutes insert a bottle brush and swirl it around the inside to give it a little extra cleaning then rinse. Now that doesn''t sound too hard does it?Want NALGENE Tritan 1-Quart Narrow Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle Discount?
I loved my blue narrow mouth water bottle, I bought it in pick so my husband wouldn''t steal it! It''s great quality, been dropped 2-3 times, no problems. No leaks, no funny taste, easy to rinse and clean. I bought some narrow ice cube trays to help with the issue of most ice cubs not fitting, but putting water in this and leaving the bottle in the fridge overnight works well, too.
Seychelle 27oz Stainless Steel Regular Water Filter Bottle (Red)
I was super excited about this product. I had been using plastic filtered bottles and wanted a healthier alternative so I opted for the stainless steel. This seemed to fit the bill for everything I was looking for and the description and details made it sound wonderful!The product worked like it said and I was happy. Water tasted great and I could drink the tap water without the chemicals and without that plastic taste.
I made the item for about 2 weeks when it broke. While drinking from it I felt something come to my lips. I looked into the mouth piece and a small black part had come off from the inside! I contacted the company to see if I could get a replacement since the papers it came with a 90 day guarantee, but no one has emailed back and it has been about a week.
I will be sending it back to try a similar item by a different company.
The shape of the bottle is easy to hold and fits perfectly into the cup holders in our cars, without being wobbly. The water is fresh tasting and I don''t mind filling my bottle from any source with this bottle. When you have the right tilt, the water flows easily from the bottle without effort. This is really a great product.
If you are looking for a bottle to use to pour filtered water into another container, however, this one won''t work. This bottle is strictly for drinking by sucking up the water.

I don''t really use it anymore because it is so hard to suck the water up the straw. I just got a plastic BPA free filter water bottle where you can tilt and squeeze the water into your mouth through the filter. That is a lot easier. I really wanted stainless steal so to avoid plastic altogether but it just isn''t really that practical.Read Best Reviews of Seychelle 27oz Stainless Steel Regular Water Filter Bottle (Red) Here
S''well Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle (17 Ounce)
My interest was piqued when I seen this bottle and it''s claims. Here''s what I found out.+
Held liquid cold for 8-9 hours, bottle was in 70 degree room.
Held liquid hot for 7 and 1/2 hours, would probably have been longer if I would have prepped the bottle (preheated).
Easy to drink from.
No water condensation on the outside.
No leaks from the cap and is easy to use, nice seal.
-
Bottle is VERY slippery, has been dropped multiple times, especially when you wear synthetic gloves. A retaining loop (i.e. Nalgene) would have helped resolve this, the high speed piano gloss finish doesn''t aid this.
Bottle dents easily, falls were from waist level in the office and out in the parking lot.
If you have an ice maker that makes crescent style cubes than this bottle likes you, if not then only fill your ice trays half full so they fit into the bottles opening.
If your vehicle has an adjustable beverage holder this bottle likes you, if not it will rattle/move about.
Overall I''m happy with the Swell bottle, it works for what I need. 4 stars
Buy S''well Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle (17 Ounce) Now
It keeps water cold all day, i can throw it I my bag and not worry about it spilling, it''s somehow lightweight, it''s a cool color, AND it helps the environment as well as helps those in need? This really is the best find I have come across probably ever. Yes it''s pricy but totally worth it. I got mine using an amazon gift card someone gave me and a week later bought two more for Xmas gifts. I wish there was a cheaper smaller kids version. All 3 of my boys put it on their Xmas lists. I would also suggest an accessory that attaches so you can clip it to a carabiner or something.THUMBS UP!!

I searched EVERYWHERE for a quality thermos for my newborns diaper bag. I wanted something 16 ounces or smaller, no straw, no spout, no cup and slender enough to stow in a bag already packed with other essentials. I''m an active mom who hates the idea of being tied down with bottle feedings -this bottle enables me to run daily errands and travel around for a few hours. I simply heat fresh, purified hot water at home and it''s ready when I need it to mix a bottle of formula or gently heat a pre-pumped breast milk bottle on-the-go. One would think this type of baby thermos would be easy to find but it isn''t! In fact, I don''t think one exists! It''s sleek and simple design is exactly what I was hoping to find, and it fits perfectly in my modest sized diaper bag. It''s even slender enough to fit into my purse. I highly recommend it!Want S''well Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottle (17 Ounce) Discount?
Let me start by saying that the S''well bottle company is a stand up company. When I first bought the water bottle it was defective and had condensation on part of the bottle. After emailing the company to tell them about my situation they promptly sent a bottle that worked. That made me feel like they really cared about their consumers. Having great customer service is something a lot of companies are lacking nowadays.I went through many other duds before finding this bottle, that would leak, sweat, or not keep my water cold.
Being a student, this bottle works great for me since I carry it in my backpack. It never leaks and the cap is designed in a very thoughtful way. I''ve had my bottle for well over a year and it still keeps my water very cold! I have the shiny black bottle and always get complements on the sleek design.
Another thing I''ve noticed is with my other cheap stainless steel bottles they would get some kind of growth inside (even with consistent washing). That would be my sign to buy a new bottle. However, with this wonderful bottle I have yet to see anything start to accumulate on the inside. My guess is due to the quality of the stainless steel?

Camelbak Eddy Stainless Bottle Save 20% off
I needed a water bottle for work, so I did a search trying to find a reliable large sized bottle that would last for years on end. I found this bottle on the CamelBak website, and the cheapest price for this particular model was found here on Amazon.It''s stainless steel and it holds 700ml of liquid. It''s hand wash only, not suitable for hot liquids, and not good for the microwave. All of these things are fine with me. The only thing you should be prepared for is that this thing sweats (condensation) all over the place. It''s not ideal for the work area because of this.
Otherwise, this is a great bottle. Excellent for cyclists, sturdy construction and no leaks (other than the condensation). Not recommended solely for work use. There''s a different bottle by CamelBak, which does not sweat, but only holds 500ml. As I have to walk to a very distant water refill spot, I need that extra 200ml. All in all, I still feel that this was a good purchase. The quality is excellent, and there''s a lifetime guarantee on the bottle as well.

**NOTE: My problem has been solved! I''m leaving this up here (with a revised star rating) in case it happens to others. If the bottle creates a vacuum inside, jam the straw up further. You might have to use some decent pressure to get it up push up. This solved the issue for me.**Original Post: Maybe it''s just me. Other reviews for this bottle are fantastic. I have a Camelbak Groove at work and love it, and so decided to get an Eddy for home use. Although the bite valve is awesome, because there is no air hole, when you go to drink a vacuum is created in the bottle. Thus, nothing comes out. I''m shocked that this is an issue. I have to unscrew the lid to get anything up, I then leave it unscrewed, I knock it over...you see where this is going. I may as well just use a cup.
This bottle also has a lot of condensation, but that doesn''t bother me for my purposes. The lack of function does.

Run Aid Feed Sports Water Bottle
I bought this water bottle for my son, and that is the only reason that I am giving it three stars! He has VERY small hands, so this water bottle--which is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture--works just about right for him. Part of the problem for me with the understanding was the conversion between metric and standard since this was shipped from the UK. I also found the little flip-up lid flimsy since my son managed to pop it out the first time he used it! But, he really enjoys using it on hot days, so I did still rate it three stars.
Innate Gear Motus Water Bottle
I had another model of Innate with the same type of lip. I like the other model Mizu better. The lid on this one seems like it won''t stay shut, so if I lay it on the floor at the gym it will come open. Disappointed.
