Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Poly Loop Cap (40-Ounce)

This product strikes me as over-priced and underperforming, and benefiting from considerable hype and marketing.

So someone bought several of these for our family and i used one several times. It makes my water taste metallic. And not just a little bit, but strikingly so. You might as well pour philadelphia municipal water into these babies - it won't taste any worse.

Just reuse an aquafina or deerpark plastic bottle. You can even wash these plastics on the top rack and they don't have bpa. Lightweight strong easily closed. Or you can buy a big stainless camping canteen for 5-10 dollars.

Klean Kanteen's are the answer to pure water and eco-friendly use. This is high quality food-grade stainless steel and does not leach and is toxin free. Plastic containers can leach toxins like 'Bisphenol A' which is linked to cancer. These Klean Kanteens are now very lightweight, so their is no need to camp, hike or bike with plastic bottles anymore. The cap is tight with a small plastic seal and a convenient loop handle.

They are a little more expensive than plastic bottles, but when your health is concerned, there is no other option. Go stainless steel. Think Green!

These bottles are well made, lightweight, sturdy, dependable and they can really take a beating. When you're done playing around with plastic bottles, treat yourself to a Kleen Kanteen. I have another stainless steel bottle from a well-known manufacturer, and I definitely rate the KK higher overall.

As for the reviewers who are shocked to find the KK isn't insulated, well, it says that in the product description. Maybe it bears repeating: in order to make the bottle as compact and lightweight as possible, there is no insulation.

This is an excellent product - I put water in it and all I get is water out of it - easy to clean and we now have many sizes and tops for the whole family to use instead of plastic bottles.

I bought three and they are great. The O-ring seal on the cap eliminates any possibility of leaking.
