 Great reusable bottle August 16, 2008
I bought this bottle for 4 members of my family. They are all very happy with it... they've broken the plastic water bottle habit and bring the Klean Kanteen with them everywhere. I have a Sigg myself, which is great, but next time I need a water bottle, I'd buy a Klean Kanteen since it's made from stainless steel (and nothing else -- Sigg is lined with some undisclosed material).
The Klean Kanteen also has a wide mouth which makes it easy to put ice in it.
Good for biking August 15, 2008
I specifically bought the 27oz KK bottle to use when I cycle. I was so sick of the plastic-tasting water on long rides out in the sun, and I'm sure drinking enough of it would make me sick!
I researched different brands, and I specifically bought the KK bottle with the sports cap because it has a diameter that fits into standard bicycle water bottle cages. I have not been disappointed!
 18oz klean kanteen August 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased the 18oz klean kanteen , the 27 oz. and the 40 oz. The reason i purchased the 18 oz. was so it could fit in my bicycle water bottle cage. It does fit, but so does the 27 oz., which really makes the 18 oz. irrelevant for me. The sport cap works well for drinking, but the clean cap lanyard that comes with the sports cap is not practical, and awkward. Would recommend the 27 oz. and the 40oz.
Perfect for kids too August 13, 2008
My wife and I had tested larger Klean Kanteen water bottles, and found them perfect for commuting, car travel, biking, and really, everything. They fit bike racks and cup holders perfectly.
I got one 12 oz for each of the kids, and they love them! Water is more fun out of their own water bottle, especially for my two-yr old.
The caps shouldn't be machine washed, and the cap retainers might interfere with the dishwasher spray arm if they are on the lower shelf and dangle.
We avoid potential polyethylene terephthalate (#1 PETE)leeching issue that all bottled waters are subject to (possible when left in heat, in the car, in the sun on the loading dock, etc), and avoid adding so many of them to the solid waste stream. Since PETE is also made from petroleum, we lower our oil usage just a little bit more.
Of course, since the water you drink in these bottles is only as good as the water you put in... We have an undersink filter, but a faucet-mounted or pitcher-type filter would work too.
 Great product, only one flaw with the sport cap... August 13, 2008
I LOVE my Kleen Kanteens. I recently ordered one for each of my children, and my only dislike, is the "whistling" sound they make when drinking from the sport cap. It isn't a huge deal, b/c usually, when we are using them, it doesn't matter if noise is made (like at the zoo or other outing). But on occasion, we are somewhere needing to be quiet. Nothing more embaressing than having your water bottle hum when you take a drink. But, the convenience of the sport cap is worth this little annoyance in the long run. I just wish KK could do something to avoid this. Oh, it also will leak if on it's side. Not great, but we only use ours w/ water, so not usually a big deal. i am just aware of it and try to keep them upright. Again, this would not be an issue if we had the screw on caps.
