Amazon.com Product Description
Created with health and the environment in mind, these eco-friendly, high-quality stainless steel Klean Kanteen water bottles offer a great alternative to plastic and lined metal containers. Klean Kanteen bottles are constructed from high quality sanitary grade 304 stainless steel which has a low nickel content, an excellent resistance to staining and rust, and will keep your beverages fresh, and sanitary. These reusable bottles are lightweight, easy to clean, durable, and will not react with acidic beverages. The single walled containers can be placed on an open flame or heating surface, but are not recommended as containers for boiling hot liquids as the Kanteen has limited insulating properties.

Durable, sanitary, and non-reactive stainless steel is the material of choice among the food processing, dairy and brewery industries. The sanitary grade 304 stainless steel used in Klean Kanteen bottles also has a low nickel content, further reducing exposure to potentially irritating substances. Easy to clean, the Klean Kanteen water bottles can be put in the dishwasher, or washed by hand with a brush and mild soap.

Klean Kanteens come in sizes to meet the needs of the entire family. The 12 and 18-ounce containers are designed specifically for kids. In bottles designed for small hands, the 12 and 18 ounce bottles are available with sippy cup lid adapters along with the other sports cap options, and weigh just 6 and 8 ounces respectively. Adult sized 27 and 40 ounce Kanteens weigh just 8 and 11 ounces respectively, and are available with a choice polypropylene or steel caps. The openings are large enough to fit ice cubes, and the slim bottle design fits in most cup and bottle holders.

Klean Kanteen water bottles are available with a variety of sports caps made with non-leaching polypropylene #5 or stainless steel. The sport, flat, and loop caps are interchangeable and fit all 12-, 18-, 27-, and 40-ounce stainless steel bottles securely. The Poly Sports Cap has a push release valve allowing you to drink on the go. The Flat Caps, available in polypropylene or stainless steel twist on and off securely. The Loop Caps, available in polypropylene or stainless steel, twist on and off securely, and have a top loop for easy attachment. The polypropylene #5 caps have no known leaching characteristics, and are softer on the teeth and easy to drink from. However, if you would rather avoid plastic altogether, the stainless steel caps are a great option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the sports cap made of plastic and not stainless steel?
Your teeth. Klean Kanteen chose polypropylene #5 because it has no known leaching characteristics and is softer if you hit a bump on the trail. If you'd rather avoid plastic altogether, a stainless steel screw-on lid is available as an accessory.

Can I put hot liquids in my Klean Kanteen?
No. Klean Kanteen bottles are single walled and not for use with hot liquids. Warm beverages can be used at personal comfort level. The single-walled construction allows for more volume and the option to put your Kanteen on a flame.

Can I put my Kanteen in the freezer?
We do not recommend it and it will void the one-year warranty against manufacturer defects.

Can I put my Kanteen on a stove?
In a pinch, the Kanteen can be placed on fire or a stove. Beware not to melt the plastic lid or burn yourself.

What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is an iron-containing alloy made from some of the basic elements found on earth: iron ore, chromium, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and manganese. Properties of the final alloy are tailored by varying amounts of these elements. There are more than 57 stainless steels recognized as standard alloys on the market. Klean Kanteens are constructed from high quality sanitary grade 304 stainless steel which has a low nickel content. Stainless steel has excellent resistance to stain or rust due to its chromium content making it a material of choice among the food processing, dairy and brewery industries. Stainless steel is easy to clean, durable, inert and sanitary.

5 out of 5 stars Klean KAnteen   September 8, 2008
I bought the kanteens for my husband who is a cyclist. He wanted an alternative to the plastic cycling bottles. He was disappointed with the effort it took to get a small quantity of liquid out of the kanteen. He drinks as he pedals and needs a quick gulp. So I use them now. I cycle and drink intermitently from the cap or unscrew the top. I find the 27oz fits perfectly in my bottle cages on the bike. Clean-up is easy, rinse and dry.


5 out of 5 stars Great water bottle   September 8, 2008
My wife wanted to try a stainless steel water bottle so I read the reviews of the Klean Kanteen. We both have one and we like so much we purchased two more for our children. Good item..


5 out of 5 stars Quality is excellent   September 6, 2008
Bottle seals well without having to tighten it very much. I keep 2 of these in the fridge at all times. I'm not used to drinking out of metal containers so it seemed funny at first, but after a couple weeks I don't notice any difference. This bottle will fit into standard bottle holders for bicycles but is a tight fit and gets scuffed up pretty quick. For mountain biking I'll stick with the old plastic bottles, but I now use these bottles for everything else.


5 out of 5 stars Kanteen Vs Sigg again   September 6, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As I read some of the negative reviews concerning this product, I'm surprised that most feel that the SIGG bottles are better. I'm of the opposite opinion. I used both bottles for long periods and I'm definitely with the KK group. First of all, I'm an avid biker and I have tried many types of water bottles. Plastics were the first ones I used. I quickly found that w/o flavoring, plain water tasted just awful in these cheap containers. I then bought expensive polycarbonate only to find that this material had health issues running rampant.

I then discovered SIGG bottles and I thought that this bottle was close to ideal because they were lightweight and didn't have a taste. Unfortunately the bottles dented easily, the sports caps were difficult to unlock, and the aluminum would rust on the top of the bottles where lining ended. Also, the neck was small making cleaning and viewing difficult. There were health concerns too as I tried in vain to find the chemical composition of the lining. Reportedly it was some resin but nothing definitive, probably a trade secret. I was suspicious of the lack of info on the material but at time I couldn't find an alternative. As fortune would have it, last winter, I left the SIGG in my car over night after a bike ride and the bottle cracked due to the freezing water.

After combing the internet again for alternatives, I decided it on the kleen kanteen. Although heavier than the SIGG, these are the best and safest bottles available. I have had none of the bad issues with the SIGG bottles but they do share one thing in common--there is no taste. The KK sports cap works great and easier to open than the SIGG (though I did like SIGG's idea of a locking top.) And though it scratches easy, and is not the best looking bottle, they are very durable, easily surviving multiple drops without a dent. So much better than the SIGG. The only real negative is the weight, but considering the many positives, this is just a minor issue.



5 out of 5 stars Klean Kanteens Rock!   September 4, 2008
We love these stainless steel bottles and use them daily...exercise, car trips, etc. An added bonus is their use inside our home. We have curious toddlers and pets who love to sample drinks out of glasses. Needless to say, we had a LOT of beverage spills before we started to use our Kleen Kanteens in the carpeted areas of our home. They wash up well and are healthier both for you as well as the environment. If those benefits aren't enough, think of all the $$ you'll save NOT paying for plastic bottles all the time!
