I figure if anybody knows anything about SIGG, it's going to be the backpacker guys.

My Pre-China Thermos Nissan needs to be retired. I want to avoid buying a new one because they're now made in China.

I do a little internet search, and discover the Swiss Watch of thermos bottles: SIGG. Hot damn, I think. Who's going to make a better thermos bottle than the Swiss?

But, no... Every store in the US and Canada is sold out. None can be ordered. SIGG water bottles are everywhere, but not a thermos to be had.

A Google search on "why" comes up with nada. An e-mail to SIGG USA remains unanswered.

I am disappointed. I know the aluminum water bottles once had a liner with PBA and that's been fixed, but the thermoses were stainless steel. So WTF? Anybody know?
