The common water bottles on the market mainly include LAKEN from Spain, SIGG from Switzerland, domestic military water bottles, and domestic imitation sports water bottles (mainly imitating LAKEN, SIGG). Of course, the performance of various kettles can be searched on the Internet, and I am only talking about my personal experience!
Material:
LAKEN and SIGG are both aviation aluminum alloys, but due to the convex curve design of SIGG, the shell strength of SIGG is a little higher than that of LAKEN. Military kettles are ordinary aluminum, resistant to high temperatures, can be used for cooking, and are also very strong, but they are too heavy! I won’t talk about the domestic imitation products, there are iron and aluminum products, and the price is cheap!
LAKEN and SIGG both introduced that the inner liner of their kettle is coated with anti-corrosion ionic paint, which can prevent the water from deteriorating……
For personal use, the natural water in the wild is not boiled because it is not boiled. Just put it in the container, a small amount of microorganisms will affect the water quality after long-term storage. In other words, the water will stink (in fact, it should not affect drinking, but the taste is not good. Even the sweet spring water will stink for a long time). The anti-corrosion ionic coating is mainly aimed at this situation, which can slow down the deterioration rate of the water in the kettle, and can also prevent the acid juice beverage from corroding the liner. The coating materials of LAKEN and SIGG are almost the same, except that SIGG uses hot melt coating, LAKEN is spray coating, and its durability is worse than SIGG (but this hardly affects the actual anti-corrosion effect).
Craftsmanship:
SIGG is an old brand after all, and its workmanship is more refined than LAKEN——The biggest feature is: SIGG all use internal screw caps, while LAKEN only has This cap is only used in the future series!
The internal screw thread is the alloy material of the bottle body that is directly used, while the external screw thread is an additional plastic thread ring – that is to say, with the frequent use, the external screw The plastic threaded ring of the type will fade (the silver coating on the surface will fall off), and some will crack!! So, the internal screw type is much more durable! This is SIGG’s biggest weapon against LAKEN! ! Moreover, for the same inner screw cap, the sealing ring of SIGG is integrated with the plastic of the bottle cap, while the sealing ring of LAKEN is added separately, and it is easy to expand and fall off after being heated.
There are many colors of the shell. But if it is a backpacker, it is recommended to buy a single dark color, and it will not affect the appearance if the color is accidentally worn out. A lot of cartoon shells, like SWATCH watches, are very beautiful. You can buy one to cheat the dish backpacker PLMM, and the effect is also very good! !
Some leather water bottles, such as LAKEN, NIKKO, VAUDE…… are actually produced by LAKEN! !
The leather water bottle has no anti-corrosion properties, and the inside is a layer of edible plastic bags, but the effect of holding wine is good, at least it is cool……The portability is better than the metal water bottle, but the outer skin is easy to break and not wear-resistant ! ! Be careful when using……
There is also a folding bucket, which can be used to store water for camping and can be used for bathing. (I use it to take a bath on the train), after enough gas, it can also be used as a lifebuoy, and it can fully bear the weight of a person! ! !
Price:
Involving business insider, it is inconvenient to talk about the specific price, but the sales management of SIGG is more formal than that of LAKEN, which is why the price of LAKEN is much cheaper than that of SIGG .
You get what you pay for, SIGG is really worth the price, LAKEN is also very good, and the price is good.
Military kettles can also be used for cooking, and the price is cheaper, but the craftsmanship and technological content are not discussed……
Domestic imitation products are cheaper and have better price. It is said that it can also be antiseptic. If you buy one, it will not hurt if you lose it!
In addition, there are also LAKEN and SIGG produced by Tie Brand, such as BIG PAKC Tie Brand SIGG, NIKKO Tie Brand LAKEN, there is no difference in quality, but the brand is different, but the price will be more expensive, because it occupies other people’s homes brand effect!
Water bottle covers:
SIGG and LAKEN have their own water bottle covers for sale, all of which are custom-made by some backpack manufacturers.
It is best to buy a water bottle cover, which can be hung on the bag, or a waist bag, so that you can free your hands when climbing, and it is convenient to take it out for drinking.
Don’t hang the water bottle directly on the backpack. There is no water bottle cover to fix it. It shakes when walking, which consumes the balance of physical strength……
