Water Bottle Help - Klean Kanteen Wide Mouth
« on: October 17, 2009, 09:46:13 am »
I'm currently looking for a new bottle to replace my Nalgene bottle.

I am leaning towards a metal bottle as I can see to be more versatile when I choose to go out hiking/bush walking with it. At the moment I am really digging the Klean Kanteen's. I have read some really great reviews on them and their ethics. I am really keen on the 40oz wide mouth bottle. They aren't in Australia yet (and doubt they will in major shops) and they are kind of new in the market of wide mouth bottles.

I am wanting to know if anyone has used this bottle or has some ideas/opinions on it. Also will the GSI SS cups be able to fit on the bottom?

Thanks

Sorry, I stick to Nalgeens as the stainless steel bottles always made the water taste like metal...

I wonder why... :think:

I agree with Froggie on this one.  Don't like SS bottles.

I have Nalgene widemouth and narrowmouth bottles (with BPA and BPA free, but do not really care), Camelbak Better Bottles and SIGG brand aluminium bottles. Prefer the Nalgene, for the Camelbak system is hard to clean, and I like my bottles to be translucent. But if I ever get a chance to get a Kleen Kanteen Steel bottle here, I guess I would give it a try, for I like the look.

I've got the 27 ounce Klean Kanteen. Great bottle. The mouth is wide enough for ice cubes, the contruction is solid, and I don't get a metallic taste. As an added bonus, you can grab it by the neck and use it as an impomptu impact weapon!

I have all sorts of bottles...SIGG, Nalgene, Guyot, Kleen Kanteen, Laken, blah, blah, blah...

...but I find myself going back to the widemouth liter bottles that soda and iced teas come in...for both outdoors and EDC purposes. They are readily available since I drink Sweet tea and Mountain Dew by the liter :P and hold up to freezing well. Plus they are disposable/recyclable when they get too battered or manky...and not a big investment if lost or forgotten.
