Klean Kanteen
The stainless steel alternative to plastics is what Klean Kanteens are all about. After multiple reports confirmed that plastics leach toxic chemicals over time people began searching for an alternative. And Klean Kanteen was born. These guys make a whole line of stainless steel drinking bottles including a sippy cup for infants.
All of their products are made from high quality, sanitary grade 304 stainless steel. 304 has a low nickel content and is preferred by breweries and dairies. 304 stainless steel is easy to clean, durable, inert and sanitary. It is also environmentally correct - since stainless steel does not require harsh cleaners to clean the surface, there is little to no production waste that could have an environmental impact. Klean Kanteens come with a variety of options for the top made of polypropylene #5 because it has no known leaching characteristics and is softer on your mouth and teeth if you hit a bump on the trail. If you’d rather avoid plastic altogether, a stainless steel screw-on lid is available as an accessory.
I have the 27 oz Klean Kanteen which is tall and slim with the "sports cap" top. It works great I have been using it now for about a week and am very happy with it. These Kanteens are designed with the user in mind with wide necks so you can put ice cubes in them easily, they fit most bicycle water bottle cage/carriers and are lightweight my 27oz one only weighs 8oz.
Hello! I carry quite a few of the Klean Kateen lineup of Stainless Steel Water Bottles- the 27 oz Klean Kanteen is perfect on the go and for biking, hiking, walking, etc.
The 40 0z and 64 oz Klean Kanteen is the perfect water hauler for our backpacking trips, keeping safe water with us for consumption all the time!
Thanks for your article, the stainless is awesome with Klean Kanteen.

Thanks for the post! I have an 18 oz Klean Kanteen that lives on my desk at work, just so I never have to deal with the daily grind and dehydration at the same time.
My other stainless steel bottle is by WaterBox, which I would definitely recommend for a little flashier choice of BPA-free and safe stainless steel water bottles.
