SIGG - Number One Water Carriers at Purekit.com

    ESSEX, ENGLAND, February 10, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A wide range of performance brands are currently vying for top spot at outdoor performance clothing and footwear retailer Purekit.com, with the big name brands all producing a range of outdoor equipment to complement their apparel and footwear collections. Design, construction and durability all need to be first rate to make the grade at Purekit.com, which prides itself on only stocking the highest quality equipment and apparel for the great outdoors. When it comes to the humble water carrier, the same exacting standards are true, with a great range on offer, each passing the websites own strict standards.

An essential item on any kit list, many customers give little thought to the design and construction, other than the choice being a weight saving option, something which is especially important when covering punishing terrain at altitude, when a few litres of water are required to last a full day. The lightweight plastic models are certainly popular, with polycarbonate, polypropylene and co-polyester bottles all available as part of the water bottle range. These modern bottles feature a robust design, and are strong enough to survive being dropped on rocky pathways; however it is the virtually indestructible SIGG bottles which are the number one choice for discerning Purekit.com customers.

"The plastic polymers offer a weight advantage over the more traditional aluminium and steel bottles," says Purekit.com MD Richard Gundle, however he adds that "none offer the same resilience and durability as SIGG bottles", with the Swiss made single piece impact extrude aluminium design unbeatable for longevity.

The bottles are chosen for their near unbreakable design, and the versatility they offer, being able to carry the full range of fluids including hot drinks for cold winter walking. The tough exterior is matched by equal robustness on the inside, with the lining able to withstand prolonged exposure to the acids in fruit juices and carbonated beverages, whilst also being suitable for alcoholic drinks, tea and coffee. The lining is baked on and is designed not to chip or crack, even if the bottle is dented, something which only the most brutal treatment is able to achieve. It is the solidity of the design, both inside and out, which sees SIGG bottles enjoying a good 10 to 20 years of use, far exceeding that of plastic bottles which are lucky to survive a couple of years.

Whilst the quality of construction and longevity is a major selling point, in recent years SIGG bottles have been developed into more of a fashion accessory, being the canvas for many a designer, most notably used in 2010 by Vivienne Westwood in last year's collection. Whilst the traditional red and blue bottles remain a popular choice, customers are increasing choosing the more stylish brands for outdoor adventuring and for day to day use. "The new styles are certainly a huge hit with our customers" claims Richard.

The Swiss bottle manufacturer demonstrates that Swiss quality of construction is not restricted to watches, with their water carriers far exceeding the standards of even other top name aluminium bottle manufacturers. Designed to stand the test of time, they offer exceptional value for money and with the right care can last a lifetime of use. SIGG bottles are sold in a wide range of sizes and designs, with small 0.4 litre bottles for light hikes, up to 1.5L bottles for camping trips and longer excursions.
