In the wake of the plastic industry's worries and scrambling over the leaching of chemicals into water in many plastic bottles, including Nalgene's well-known bottles, that contained Bisephenol-A (BPA), one product that has been around for quite a long time has become much more popular. This is Sigg's aluminum liquid storage bottles.
Sigg bottles have been famous with "heavy duty" campers, backpackers, and climbers for many years and are becoming more popular with people due to worries about BPA. They are made from aluminum, but before you worry about links to Alzheimer's Disease worries, these have a special lining in them that is practically unbreakable, much like the bottles themselves. These bottles are superlight, typically have really attractive graphics, and have no discernable tastes that leak to the beverages stored within. This last one is a big issue as too many people are complaining about new BPA-free bottles and their problems of having a "plasticky" taste leach into the water, ruining the flavor.
These bottles are really durable, a great product, but a little more expensive than their plastic counterparts. A 1-liter bottle will cost around $19-22, typically. These are so durable that they might be the last bottles you'll ever need, so a one-time cost will afford you years of usage! There's many different interchangeable tops as well that turn it into a water bottle with a drinking cap, lid with a loop for connecting to bags and such, and other lids. These are a great product that are finally coming to the more acclaim they've deserved for years. They're a fashion statement, a health concern statement, and a great product all in one!

I think I just might get some of these.
They are pretty great and chemical-free (in the sense that your drink comes with no chemicals, not so much that there were no chemicals used in the creation of them).
