Metal waterbottle why do you use one

[Shovel]

Metal is too heavy for me. I just carry nalgenes.

What kind of an animal buys beer in plastic ???????????????????

[ex member pyrophil]

people with no taste.
people who buy supermarket own brands.
people who sleep in shop doorways.
when you think about it red you know who.

i have metal and plastic
metal gets used more in winter as if the water frezzes i can put the bottle closer to the fire to defrost

I have one of the oblong ones in the red cotton cover. It fits very nicely in a ruck's side pocket.

Yeah I've seen those advertised (used ones now-a-days) I believe that's the exact reason that shape was designed and adopted by the Scouts during the time period they were popular.

Whats yours made from, cast iron ?

I use both plastic (58 pattern) and metal (Sigg and Sigg clone) ... my Sigg types are prettier (one printed with leaves one a "limitted Edition retro Sigg, one Sigg in a mug) but my 58 has no dents.
All work well, do not flavour the water too much or leak.
Nalgene is kept for the "P" bottle....

The aluminum ones are about the same weight as plastic. BUT! Stainless is HEAVY!

I have both of the Guyodesigns stainless, love them. The water tastes better, the larger nests inside my Alpkit Mytimug perfectly.

+1 for the Guyot designs. You can do a lot with them including cooking as well as drinking. The 18/10 steel is super tough as well.
