REVIEW:
Emily Fletcher
“If you need the most durable, high performing, well made water bottle, this Klean Kanteen Insulated Drink Bottle is for you. It’s incredibly sturdy and I can’t imagine you’d ever see a dent. It has a highly durable, chip resistant, easy grip coating and keeps its contents cold for a whopping 50 hours and hot for 20 hours! I don’t think there’s any other product out there that can match that. To think you could go camping and wake up and have a hot coffee first thing the next morning without having to set up a camping stove is a real winner!
This bottle is made to last a lifetime. Being ultra-insulated, it is more bulky in size, however surprisingly is not any heavier. There is no risk of leaks as the cap screws on well and has a silicone seal. The cap including its base is polypropylene. This is a ‘safe’ plastic and has been shown not to leach. However, I do love a completely plastic free option and Klean Kanteen has a compatible stainless steel cap available, though it can only be used for carrying cold liquids.
An amazingly strong, beautifully made and incredibly high performing bottle.”
