Overall a good water bottle
January 7, 2009
I like this bottle very much, except it is pretty wide. It will not fit in the cup holder of my car. Besides that I am happy with how it keeps my water cool for a long period of time, and the amount of water it holds lasts me all day long.
Top leaks

I have the smaller version and never had a problem w/ leaks, but w/ this one, even w/ the sippy part pushed down and the cap on, it still leaks.
Also, it's worth buying the overpriced neophrene holder, since if you drop the bottle it'll ding/dent.
A Green Gift

I wated to give practical gifts that had meaning to the environment. I chose the Kleen Kanteen Statinless Steel Water Bottle after looking at other products because of the size and cap offered at a competitive price. I ordered 10 bottles, and they were delivered within days of the order. Everyone has been very satisfied, including myself. It is easy to clean, easy to carry and I know I am not contributing to the plastic bottle waste.
These water bottles are great!

Bought four of these water bottles for my family. No matter how often we cleaned out our plastic water bottles, they always had a bad odor. We have had these water bottles for about two months now and love them. No odors and we love the larger size so we don't have to keep filling them. Works great for the kids during school and my husband at work. I made color coded bands so that each family member knows which bottle is theirs. These bottles fit nicely in the side of backpacks, lunch boxes etc. Our family is very pleased with our puchase and we tend to drink more water because of how clean it tastes.
Like it, but . . .

The trouble with this kanteen that I hadn't thought of before buying it is that it's not insulated. So when you put your cold drink in it, expect a VERY cold bottle. Then there will be condensation all over it until your drink is no longer very cold! Another thing is, it doesn't fit into any of our small lunch coolers.
But I like the size (27 oz) for my husband; it's a little much for me, though. And I love the stainless steel container because it seems cleaner than a plastic one. Especially with all the info about plastics these days.
