SIGG Hot & Cold 0.5 L Brushed - 17 oz Vacuum Flask

SIGG Hot & Cold 0.5 L Brushed is the classic stainless steel vacuum flask behind the 500ml Edelstahl name. Its brushed body holds 0.5 L or 17 oz, while the slim form measures 252 mm high and 72 mm across.SIGG's US product page lists the exact SKU as 8516.00.

Classic Stainless Steel Format

The bottle uses stainless steel with double-wall insulation, giving the 17 oz format a compact footprint for hot or cold drinks. Its empty weight is 315 g, and the 72 mm diameter keeps the cylindrical body narrower than many larger travel flasks.SIGG introduced stainless steel bottles with double-wall vacuum insulation in its Hot and Cold line.

The product page identifies a brushed silver finish, stainless steel as the main material, and a matching lid listed under part number 8503.50. The same page records the country of origin as China and places the model in collections running from 2015 through 2024.

Capacity And Fit

At 0.5 L, the bottle offers a moderate single-container capacity rather than the larger 25 oz or 34 oz formats sold in the wider Hot and Cold range. The 252 mm height and 72 mm diameter describe the classic 8516.00 body, not the taller Hot and Cold ONE versions.

The comparison matters because SIGG also sells a Hot and Cold ONE model with a different lid system and separate dimensions. The ONE version is listed at 330 g and 265 mm high, while the classic bottle is 315 g and 252 mm high, so the two should not be treated as the same bottle.

Insulation And Materials

SIGG describes the bottle as insulated and built from stainless steel, with a brushed exterior and silver color. The design is aimed at both hot and cold beverages, while the vacuum construction separates the inner and outer walls.

The broader SIGG stainless steel range uses 18/8 stainless steel and vacuum insulation, with manufacturer material pages describing hot retention of up to 24 hours and cold retention of up to 30 hours depending on the model. Those maximum figures apply to the range rather than automatically to SKU 8516.00.SIGG distinguishes insulation performance by model across its stainless steel range.

Who The Bottle Fits

The classic SIGG Hot and Cold format suits users who want a 17 oz insulated stainless steel bottle with a screw-lid design rather than the one-hand mechanism of the Hot and Cold ONE. Its 315 g empty weight is the tradeoff for the insulated steel construction.

Compared with a single-wall 17 oz stainless steel bottle, this model adds insulation and a measured 315 g empty weight. Compared with the 330 g Hot and Cold ONE, it is 15 g lighter and 13 mm shorter, while retaining the same 0.5 L capacity.

The clearest limitation is capacity. A 17 oz bottle is smaller than common 24 oz and 32 oz travel formats, and the classic 252 mm body does not provide the larger beverage reserve of those alternatives. The result is a compact insulated flask for coffee, tea, or chilled water rather than a high-volume hydration bottle.
