Klean Kanteen Wide Loop Cap

This is my second time purchasing this bottle (I lost the first one), and I love it! I don't like my water ice cold, and this bottle is an excellent way for me to lug around 40 ounces at a time without lugging around something massive. It doesn't insulate drinks and will sweat if you put cold water inside on hot days, but it's perfect for a room-temperature water drinker. My bottle has a few dents in it, but that's because I'm rough on my gear (it rolled under the car yesterday, ha) but it has held up very well.

I love this canteen. Plain and simple. Single-walled. Tight seal. I use it on camping trips, and love that I can set it directly on a fire (minus the cap) to boil water. Water tastes great in it, and it's got solid, good quality build. I've dropped it a handful of times, and while it does take on dings, I'm surprised by how small they are compared to how bad the drops have been. Works like a charm!

I bought this bottle to use for long runs to replace my water bladder in my osprey daylyte backpack. I’m training for a marathon so I needed something that could hold at least 40oz and keep ice for longer than the plastic water bladder. I am surprised how lightweight this bottle is and it works great for what I use it for. I don’t think it would be good for a smaller camelbak style bag because it’s so big. I lined the bottom of my bag with foam so the bottle doesn’t sway when I’m running. It’s not great for hot beverages because the outside of the bottle is the same temperature of the fluid inside because it’s single walled. I replaced the cap because it’s so heavy and it has a tendency to cross thread and bend the gasket inside the cap. I bought this bottle originally because I didn’t like the taste the plastic bladder imparted to my water and I chose against an aluminum bottle because most are lined with polyester. This bottle is made entirely of steel.

Thus far, Amazon has sent me 2 of these with dents in them because they couldn't be troubled to use an appropriate level of packing material. I was able to receive one without damage and it seems to be a good product. I highly recommend if you want one, that you buy it from the actual company instead of Amazon. Save yourself some time and heartache.

Came in brand new condition. Love the bottle. Works perfectly for my needs.

Having at least one Klean Kanteen single wall water bottle is a must in the outdoors for camping, hiking or extended survival because it works with water filtration system and more over, when boiling water is your only method of water purification you can boil water in this bottle directly on a camp stove, backpack stove or coals from a campfire without it exploding like any double wall vacuum insulated water bottle will. It is made of high quality food safe stainless steel and at 40 oz capacity are a perfect size for outdoor adventures. Large enough to carry ample water supply yet small enough for easy packing. Never heat this bottle with the top screwed on. Always remove lid before boiling water in this bottle.

It doesn’t leak, but water does sometimes get trapped in the seal of the cap and that will allow it to “leak” onto the bottle and yourself when you open it. It only seems to happen when I’m driving and have other things to pay attention to. I like it and still use it, just not while driving. Perfect for camping being a single wall bottle. 3.5 stars

all good
