Klean Kanteen Classic, Non-Insulated, Stainless Steel: A Classic for a Reason!

[@karamarie6781]

I have had two Klean Kanteens for almost 15 years and you can’t kill these bottles! Dents and all - they win!

[@eugeneokeeffe6]

I have one for 13 years

[@ezrasg]

Another major pro for single wall stainless steel bottles is you can boil water in them (unpainted, so a brushed steel version of the bottle you reviewed, and w/o the plastic cap)

[@Autumn1988]

The Hydroflask flex straw cap is a really good fit for the KK classic.

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

interesting!

[@neiya8862]

Nice tip. Thanks

[@RustyShackleford-gl1vi]

My wife has an insulated Hydro Flask and my kids insulated Klean Kanteen. The Klean Kanteen seem to hold ice a touch longer and are tougher. The Hydro Flask dent easier. KK make all sorts of lids such as straw lids.

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

I can't speak officially to reliability, but I do feel like klean kanteen has just been around longer, and i know more people who have had them for longer, which does inspire confidence. and true about the lids!

[@minesaver]

My default bottle is a 40oz Hydroflask which I use with the straw top (they are not pleasant to drink directly from, in my opinion). I wanted a non insulated bottle for lightness. For use in a vehicle, I wanted that narrower neck to limit splashing over bumps and turns if I have the cap off. I also didn't want that sport top, so I ended up with the "reflect" line which comes default with a twist top. The overall reason I wanted the lightweight, single wall, twist top is so that I can throw this bottle in my sling bag without worry of leakage onto books or maps. I considered the "trail" line hydro flask makes but the reviews did not seem to indicate they would last very long. Your overview was dead-on with regard to bottles as well as old reliable manual transmission Toyotas

Came here to ask about Condensation! Thx u for the feedback.

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

Great question. There definitely is some condensation, especially if you use ice when it's hot out. Not as much as a glass bottle though, if I remember correctly.

[@KellyS_77]

I don't love the sports cup, especially since I bought it from GoodWill for $5. I don't know whose lips were on it last, ick. I'll happily spend a few dollars on a replacement cap.

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

Haha yes good call -- replacing the lid is usually all you need to make a used bottle feel brand new.

[@karamarie6781]

A little Clorox and it will be like new. You go to a restaurant and use their silverware, right? 🤷‍♀️

[@meYogii_]

I was gonna ask about the color but I saw somone else already did. 😂 I just found mine in the garage among all my stuff. I have the stainless steel color with bamboo on top of the screw cap. I bought it many, many years ago. I don't like sports caps for these bottles. I have one for my hydroflask. You cant clean them properly, feels disgusting to use. I like the hard plastic instead, on regular bottles.

[@Celesian]

Still on my klean kanteen classic going on 5 years, solid water bottle If I ever lost mine I'd get another perhaps in a different color. Wish they had more print options though

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

Yes the seem pretty indestructible, except for the dents on the bottom. I wish they had more prints too!

[@al-du6lb]

lol thanks for the info. yt is so great.

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

haha, glad you enjoyed!

[@al-du6lb]

do your friends and family know you run this yt channel?

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

yes they do!

[@kylerasmussen1455]

whos colour blind, me or you? that bottle is purple, not blue

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

haha you are so right! I can't believe I didn't notice I got that wrong. It is definitely PURPLE.

[@kylerasmussen1455]

@@bottlestoconsider1147 Sorry, I was way critical.. you nailed it with the aubergine / eggplant colour. Consider reviewing the Kleen Kanteen 32 oz?!

[@bottlestoconsider1147]

haha no worries! i was not offended. and ya I'd love to review the bigger one, just need to get my hands on it!
