Made my water taste nasty...it has water inside it!

On: 2009-11-03

This cap is worthless. It made my water taste bad (whereas the original sport cap never did), so I removed the silicone o-ring and put the cap in the dishwasher, thinking it had some coffee residue on it or something.

After I took it out of the dishwasher, I could hear water sloshing around _inside_ of it! It appears to be completely impermeable - there are no apparent holes in it. Nevertheless it has water inside of it, with no evident way to get the water out.

The sport cap that came with my Kleen Kanteen is hollowed out, like an upside-down cup - there is no bottom. This low-profile cap is hollow but has a bottom - it has a continuous outer surface like a fishing bobber or something.

Clearly they need to work on their quality-control. Avoid this cap like the worthless POS that it is.

Klean Kanteen Lids are Great

On: 2009-11-03

I have had 2 Klean Kanteens for over 2 years and I didnt want any plastic touching my water. I have been using the original lids that came with the Kanteens=pull up plastic sport lids. I love the new lids!

Leaked After 2 Weeks!

On: 2009-10-15

The Klean Kanteen Sport Cap leaked after 2 weeks of use. The tiny plastic plug used as a valve fell out. This also occurred with 2 other Klean Kanteen Caps which I purchased with a thermos. Something has changed with the quality of the caps. I also have Klean Kanteen thermoses with the flat top caps. The top part of the caps have actually separated from the bottom section of the caps. I now have 7 Klean Kanteens, one for each family member, with only 2 working caps.

works the best, but should sell this with the new bottles

On: 2009-10-12

This bottle top was the original bottle top on the Klean Kanteens, but now the company puts an all plastic version of the original on the top of newly purchased bottles. The new plastic version always leaks when my kids use this bottle, so I have to pay an additional 10 to get the original tops. The company also moved the manufacturing of this bottle to Ch. I did not realize this until after we purchased the new versions.

Ths Cap is NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY!!!

I purchased 2 of this caps to replace the plastic ones that came with our Kleen Kanteens... The first thing that bothered me was the caps had a CHEAP feeling and a big sticker that read "MADE IN CHINA". After about a week of use (or less) both caps broke apart, yes, the plastic top detached from the metal part.
I DO NOT recommend this item... Purchase at your own risk -

I hope this helps.

stainless steel caps

On: 2009-07-04

I bough several of these bottles from Klean Kanteen and the bottles showed that they came with the stainless steel caps. when I got the bottles, they were all poly caps and when i wrote to them there was no answer. I called and they didnt want to talk to me and hung up on me and no replies to my phone calls or emails. I really felt cheated especially because they didnt even give me a chance to talk. They have very bad customer service.

Great all purpose cap.

This is a good all purpose cap to go along with the Klean Kanteen bottles. We have one of the smaller sippy top bottles that we use for our 9 month old son when we take him out hiking but I use the flat cap to keep his bottle sealed while were travelling to the trail. Once we get there, I take this top off and put the sippy top on for him to use while were out for the day. The bottle is just tossed in with the rest of our hiking gear while were travelling and Ive never had any problems with leaks at all.
