Afternoon,
I've been looking into getting a Sigg equivalent for my EDC/walkabout pack and have come across the Gloggs - unlined stainless steel, brew-up capable.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Glogg-500ml-Stainless-Steel-Bottle/dp/B001M4AVSE
Pricewise they blow the competition; Sigg, Klean Kanteen and the new steel Nalgene's. Anybody else have experience of them/can comment on quality?
The problem is (for me) they are are 750ml max and are not wide mouthed.

If I ever need to carry more than 750ml everyday between here and home, I'll use my 3l water bladder. Maybe on the day the Earth caught fire :D
I "won" a Chinese copy of the stainless nalgene bottle, its 1ltr, wide mouth, and is costing less than £7 posted. I will do a review if anyone's interested.

check out your local TK MAXXXXX, i bought a nice double walled stainless mug and screw-top stainless bottle for £3 each.
Hello gents!
Well I took the plunge and bought a glogg 500 ml.
MUTTS NUTS!
used it for water carry to and from work, no problems, then I got adventurous and used it to boil in, perfect!
As a water bottle i usually prefer a wide mouth but had no problems with this, the only issue that I had using it as a brew vessel was that not all cookers/stoves can handle something that narrow. However I used the Swiss Army Gel cookers (a bit like the greenheat ones) and it was a perfect fit!
As an added bonus, this is the only bottle I have found that will fit in the Go Outdoors stainless steel mugs that they were selling for £3 a pair, so put the two together and they nest quite nicely to make a decent brew set!
If I can work out how I will try and put up some pix
Cheers
Sean

I can confirm that the carabiner never leaked at any point, neither did the bottle btw. and i never wear sports tops

Looking at one of these. Really tempted, but wondered if it the same screw fitting as a nalgene?

Hi Rob, does the seller have any more of these available? Please either post or PM a link.
Cheers
Cancel that mate, just found them on ebay. I put "wide mouth stainless bottle" in the search and took me to it.

Assuming that you are now in posession of the new bottle, what's you're opinion on it?
Anyone tried the Mudpuppy stainless steel bottles? I've been tempted by the litre one but never heard of them before. Link (http://earthcareoptions.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_in fo&cPath=24_25_48&products_id=84&zenid=8d9043b36154bdaa7a61ae23 7c8ff6ac)

I do not see the point of not going wide mouth in metal. You get a cook pot. Something to boil water in. If the chinese ones take nalgene stuff it is a cheap version of them.

I think (for me anyway) the attraction is the way thy cap is flush rather than pointed/protruding from the main body of the bottle.
Hi folks,
I've had the bottle for a while now, it arrived in a week of being orderd, and its the 1ltr version. I have the aldi version of nalgene bottles, and this is the same capacity, but taller & slimmer, and the cheap s/steel mugs(mine do anyway)are wide enough for it to sit inside.
At first i did'nt think it sealed well, but its a question of making sure the cap is on straight, and done up tight enough.
Not sure, if nalgene caps fit, but it does screw on to my msr water filter.
I took it out for a try, and treated it roughly, dropping it from shoulder height a number of times, on to frozen ground, i did'nt leak, and i feel this is similar in height to it falling out of your pack. Certainly i'm fairly sure that a plastic one would of split, due to the impact and the cold, also i have filled it up, and frozen it, with the cap of, again no probs.
To sum up, a good buy, you know that your water container won't break, if you drop it.

No!
The stainless steel versions of the Guyot Designs and the Nalgene bottles are actually made in China, as are the majority of the stainless steel water bottles sold worldwide!

Ok, but if I buy one from china it costs less than a Nalgene plastic one, even the fakes are pushing a tenner. If I buy a metal named brand from the states, they start at twenty before postage.
And if a filter fits you would think the other mods would too.

I think that other mods would fit, mainly because the Nalgene bottles shape and size have become the generic type.
I bought several Lifeventure 1litre 'wide mouth' bottles and Nalgene splash guards (from different companies) in the absolute certainty that they would fit perfectly, which they did.
The success of the Nalgene bottle inspired other companies to offer their own versions, and making the capacity and specific dimensions match those of the Nalgene broadened the appeal to buyers that did not want to spend so much money for the Nalgene, as they knew that accessories such as splash guards, carriers, sleeves etc would fit.
The price I got my Lifeventure 1litre bottles was too good to decline, and to be honest, I can't see the logic in paying double for the Nalgene.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Snow Peak titanium single and double wall bottles which will be out this year! http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/helixpteron/happy0054.gif
