Sigg bottles. Hands down. I have a few: one in my bag (the flat flask), one in the car, one by the bed.

You need to order them from the internets.

SWEET. They even come in sexy colors.

Do you know about Sigg?

They make really nice, lightweight, lined aluminum water bottles. You can get them from REI, Whole Foods, or the web site. They're a bit more expensive initially, but people love them.

Sweet! Thank you.

I've also seen them at Madison Market (just the solid colors, tho)

Something like this?

That's the wide-mouth top that gets me in the face ;) It looks like Sigg might be the right I go...

[hollyking]

I guess our definitions of wide are different. That looks pretty dang narrow to me.

I love my Lock & Lock

This style has a cup cap:

I just picked up a much larger water bottle from this line, that has no cap, but has the flip top on it. It it has a vent hole under the cap so you can drink from it easily. But the cap actually stays locked on it in my backpack, which I need. You have to actually PUSH it open to flip it up. It has a big "mouth" to drink from too, though. And the "mouth" has a tiny dip in it for smooth pouring as well.

And it was only $2 at central market. Totally reusable, dishwasher safe, and inexpensive. :)

Cool. If this Siggs don't work out, I'll have to give this a go. It's not quite what I'm looking for, but closer than what I've tried!

yeah, it's a hard clear plastic. None of that squeezy nonsense.

I am far too clumbsy for those, myself. And I don't like the regular water bottle designs because the lids are a pain in the ass to keep track of. but this is easy, flip and drink, flip and close. drinking from it is easy enough that I will actually drink ENOUGH water.

OH OH....you need the get the wide mouth .5L nalgene bottles and get the sippy cup insert. it's not a sucking kind of sippy cup top....it's just a silicon insert that makes a big hole that sloshes water all down my shirt when the car starts, into a smaller sippy port with a vent.
I love mine, I still get the ease of cleaning that comes with a wide mouth and the water comes out as easily, it just doesn't slosh over the sides.

like this one

and this one

the sippy part isn't exactly like the one I have, but you get the idea.

[thepresident]

that's what I was going to suggest too.
