4 SIGG Bottles in the FAZ Test
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) conducted an extensive test to determine which water bottles are suitable for sports, leisure, and everyday use. A total of 62 water bottles for adults made from various materials were tested.
According to the FAZ, the focus was on the bottles’ leak-proofness, ease of use, weight, and suitability for carbonated beverages.
Four of the models tested are from SIGG.
SIGG Shield One (stainless steel)
SIGG Shield One
The FAZ describes the SIGG Shield One as practical, lightweight, and durable. The water bottle is made of 90 percent recycled stainless steel. It has a single wall and is therefore not suitable for hot beverages.
According to the FAZ, cold and carbonated beverages stay cool for a short time, but over time the temperature adjusts to the ambient temperature. The bottle is leak-proof, even with carbonated beverages.
The bottle opening is described as pleasantly wide, which makes cleaning easier. The FAZ notes that the Shield One is not dishwasher-safe and should be washed by hand.
SIGG WMB One (Aluminum)
SIGG WMB One
According to the FAZ, the SIGG WMB One, weighing just under 170 grams, is one of the lightest bottles in the test. It is made of recycled aluminum and is suitable for cold drinks as well as carbonated beverages.
The water bottle has no thermal insulation, so the beverage temperature adapts to the ambient temperature over time. According to the FAZ, the bottle is leak-proof and does not impart any taste.
The simple, one-handed operation of the lid is highlighted. The bottle has a carrying handle that can also be used to attach it with a carabiner. It should be washed by hand.
SIGG Original Red (Aluminum)
SIGG Original Red
For users who don’t want to go without carbonated drinks on the go, the FAZ recommends the SIGG Original Red. According to the FAZ, the bottle made the best impression in this regard during testing.
The sturdy lid can be opened slowly and smoothly either directly or via the handle. Even if it hisses or splashes when opened, the bottle remained leak-proof in the test. The bottle is very lightweight and therefore easy to carry.
The FAZ notes that beverages should be kept below 40 degrees Celsius. The insulation properties are described as not particularly pronounced. The mouth opening has a diameter of four centimeters and allows for easy drinking.
SIGG Traveller (Aluminum)
SIGG Traveller
The FAZ describes the SIGG Traveller as a classic from SIGG. The water bottle features the typical twist-off cap with a loop, which can also be used for carrying.
In testing, the bottle remained leak-proof with carbonated water and was easy to open. According to the FAZ, cold drinks reach room temperature relatively quickly. Hot drinks were not filled due to the aluminum construction.
Weighing 142 grams, the Traveller is one of the lightest bottles in the test. The mouth opening is slightly larger than that of standard PET bottles, yet drinking from it is described as comfortable.
FAZ Test Results
The FAZ tested water bottles under everyday conditions, and four SIGG bottles were included in the test. Naturally, we are pleased with the results and evaluations.
