Design & functionality
Klean Kanteen is a reusable, risk-free stainless steel container that does not leach toxins into its contents. Reusable, lightweight & durable. The wide-mouth accommodates ice cubes and makes cleaning easy.
Materials
Made from electropolished, non-leaching, high grade 304 L.N. (18/8) stainless steel. Klean Kanteen’s 304 L.N. stainless steel is grade blended specifically for food preparation, dairy, brewing, various medical uses and other applications where mineral migration is unacceptable. The steel is put through a electropolishing process which seals the surface and prevents minerals from migrating into the contents. These reusable, risk-free stainless steel containers do not impart taste and do not leach toxins into their contents. Plastics (polycarbonate) have been shown to leach carcinogens including BPA during regular use, exposure to heat and especially after cleaning. From manufacturing, to use and disposal, plastics pollute our health and environment.
Sustainability
100% recyclable. Using Klean Kanteen bottles helps replace wasteful, use-and-toss single-serving plastic beverage containers, while saving you money in the process. Reusing durable Klean Kanteen bottles ultimately helps you consume less over time. Furthermore, 304 (or 18/8) stainless steel is a sustainable material, having a long service life, usability in a number of applications and is environmentally friendly. Stainless steel needs less maintenance and its hygienic qualities means that we do not have to use harsh cleaners to get a clean surface.
Fact: over 50% of new stainless steel comes from re-melted stainless steel scrap (SSINA)
About Klean Kanteen
Klean Kanteen, a family-owned company in Chico, CA, was the first to create a stainless steel beverage container to curb the use of the one-time use water bottle and in response to credible reports about chemicals in common plastic drinking and food containers. Since 2004, Klean Kanteen has been informing the public about the health and environmental hazards of eating and drinking from plastic containers at consumer and trade shows such as Green Festivals, Outdoor Retailer Market, Natural Products Expo West and East, Interbike Expo, Whole Children Whole Planet and many others.
Klean Kanteen visits their manufacturing facilities 4-5 times per year and perform audits every six months to ensure all of their products are produced with respect for the environment and fair labor standards, including: the ethical treatment of factory workers, child labor, wages/benefits, health and safety, etc. Additionally, they do regular lab testing on random shipments through a local lab in the U.S. to ensure their products are made per their specifications, are free of hazardous substances such as lead, and do not leach chromium, manganese, etc.

Care Instructions
Klean Kanteens are easy to clean with a bottle brush and mild soap. We recommend an old fashioned cleaner: white vinegar and baking soda. Stainless steel does not rust. If your bottle appears to have rusted, it is a harmless residue left behind from the electro-polishing process. Electro charges remove fine particles from the stainless steel surface, remove impurities and seal it. Electrolytes left behind sometimes turn a rust color, but it's harmless.
I bought 1 of these for each of my kids. They love that they can take them in the car with us or outside to play. One sport cap is very hard to open (I have to do it, the 3 year old can't) and the other is too easy. Needless to say, my 2 year old has figured out how to make the water come out of his bottle and is constantly dumping it all over the place :( We now only use these when we travel, not on an everyday basis.

Love this mini-canteen!
I use this to transport my soy milk for my tea back & forth to work - easy to store in the fridge at work (small size works well in the fridge door) and I love that it's stainless steel and not yucky plastic.

Great size for kids and grownups!
Love these - just bought one each for the kids and one for mama! :) Really like the new colors, too. We already have a couple, wanted extras (one to use, one to wash). Perfect size for little hands: the indentation at the neck makes it the right width for small people. And the straightforward spout design makes it easy to clean without inviting mold or soap residue. The bottles do get cold without some kind of a sleeve. Sometimes I'll use them with this in mind - load them up with ice cubes to use them as cold packs inside a lunch bag. We do have some Built NY sleeves for use with the bottles, but cozies for beer bottles work equally well. :) Am also happy that these can alternate as sippy cups with a simple change of spout. Interchangeable, durable, reusable, recyclable - what's not to like?

Love it, dishwasher safe
We just love using Klean Kanteens. I've had one for about two years and finally got both of my kids their own. No interior coatings, no plastic, just simple stainless steel and it's dishwasher safe!

We love the Klean Kanteen around our house; all 3
We love the Klean Kanteen around our house; all 3 of us have one now. The 12 oz is the perfect size for our daughter. Since she is 3, I do wish I had bought the sippy cup top converter b/c she can't unscrew the regular top herself.

This is our second year using this bottle
This is our second year using this bottle. I was so happy to find this 12oz size because a 16oz bottle is too large to fit in my son's lunchbox. The smaller size also means there's no waste since he typically can't finish more than 12oz during his lunch period. The stainless steel bottle keeps his drink very cold and the seal on the cap has never leaked.

Love this product! My kids are already drinking much more water now that they all have a water bottle. Will be ordering again! The sports tops are great. Thanks!

Emphasis on the "Kanteen" - This is a compact bottle, perfect for quick trips and little sips. However, I'm not too fond of unscrewing and screwing the cap to drink. It's a hassle when you're driving, and threading the top takes a lot of time if you want it to close securely. Sport tops are available, but at an extra cost. It really feels like you're drinking out of a camping canteen. The outside also sweats a lot. I'd prefer a Nalgene or recyclable plastic bottle with sport top instead.

Love Love Love these bottles
Love Love Love these bottles. Three months after "making the switch" and refusing to buy any more plastic bottles, our family has adjusted and we really like these. They are smooth to hold and easy to clean. We each have our own color of 18 oz and I have 12 oz for lunchboxes. You can add ice and they stay cold. My teen daughter, who is notoriously hard to please, is not quite sold on these. She claims they taste metallic. I admit there is the FAINTEST hint of a metallic taste, but the rest of us have found it completely remedied by purchasing the fabulous new sport lid, which means your mouth does not touch the metal of the bottles. The sport lid makes this bottle all the better.

We have many kinds of reusable bottles in our hous
We have many kinds of reusable bottles in our house so you can probably believe us when we say these are our favorites. I pack these in my 5-year-old son's Munchler lunchbox each day and they do everything they're supposed to and more. The wide mouth fills easily, cleans well and is easy for my son to drink from. He also has never had a tough time getting the cap back on securely so leftover drinks do not spill into his backpack and cubby (been there , done that with other kinds). They size is right for a full serving of calcium or an all-day drink of water but not huge. The size of the bottle also leaves enough room for food without weighing down a kids bag. The standard of 'green' and expensive has got to stop somewhere and this is a fantastic start. No designer price, a cute but not cutesy design that is best for boys who have outgrown balloon and teddy bear prints. Nice job Klean Kanteen and nice job ReusableBags!

Perfect size
Perfect size. Thought it would be lined, like the SIGG bottles, but it still works fine. Overall, a good product.

We love the Kleen Kanteen water bottles we got for
We love the Kleen Kanteen water bottles we got for our three children. I think the bottles help them think more about getting enough water every day. They keep water cold and look great, too!
