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)
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
I have had two Klean Kanteens for almost 15 years and you can’t kill these bottles! Dents and all - they win!
I have one for 13 years

The Hydroflask flex straw cap is a really good fit for the KK classic.
interesting!
Nice tip. Thanks

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

Haha yes good call -- replacing the lid is usually all you need to make a used bottle feel brand new.
A little Clorox and it will be like new. You go to a restaurant and use their silverware, right? 🤷♀️

Yes the seem pretty indestructible, except for the dents on the bottom. I wish they had more prints too!
do your friends and family know you run this yt channel?
yes they do!
lol thanks for the info. yt is so great.
haha, glad you enjoyed!
whos colour blind, me or you? that bottle is purple, not blue
haha you are so right! I can't believe I didn't notice I got that wrong. It is definitely PURPLE.
@@bottlestoconsider1147 Sorry, I was way critical.. you nailed it with the aubergine / eggplant colour. Consider reviewing the Kleen Kanteen 32 oz?!
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!
