The new Nalgene
The last of our Nalgene water bottles is in the trash. The lid somehow rested against the heating element in the dishwasher and melted. So I'm seeking a replacement.
I love these pretty Sigg water bottles. Lightweight, indestructable and won't leak = great for kids. Bonus: the bottle design is part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. Goodbye Nalgene. Hello Sigg.
Assorted designs available here.

"Gabby, the Nalgene's are Bullet Proof!" Remember when I told you that and then Ralph the two year old broke it?
It's my favorite story.
i just bought a new Nalgene this past weekend. Dang, these look much cooler.
hey! i just had a lid melt on the heating element in my dishwasher today too. i couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from for a long time, then, there it was. sippy cup lid with holes through it.
The Swiss do it again! You can buy those all over town with big swiss crosses on them for the toursits :)
The lid-melting thing happened to me a few weeks ago as well. Nalgenes are too tall to stick in the top rack of the dishwasher so you have to put them on the bottom and the lid slipped through and melted.
I was upset but now I know what to replace it with - a SIGG!
Nalgenes are far better than SiGGS anyday.
I drove over a Nalgene and it only suffered a minor dent which popped back out when I dropped it out a tree.
The SIGG dented straight away and could not be fixed.
This exact same thing happened to me today - my nalgene lid melted in the dishwasher and made my house smell like toxic fumes! goodbye Nalgene!
