Customer Reviews

Cap holds water
After several months of owning a 27oz bottle with this cap, I wondered why the beverage tasted funny, here when I put it in the sink to wash it, the cap would suck in soapy water. I ended up drilling some holes in the bottom and could not believe all the soapy water that came out. I will now stick with the drinkable caps at least I know nothing is going to spoil my beverage.

Better than what came with my bottle
I like this cap better than the stainless/plastic one that originally came with my Klean Kanteen. This cap is simpler, all plastic (polypropylene, which has a fairly safe reputation at this time.) Easy to wash, goes through my dishwasher in the silverware basket with no problem.

While the original has the advantage of minimizing plastic contact with the water, it somehow gets water trapped inside it if washed in the dishwasher--but then it's very hard to get that water back out. Also the all-plastic flat caps I bought get water trapped inside them. But this cap seems to have a design with no place for the water to get trapped. Another reviewer complained about water getting trapped in this cap. Either
1) he has it confused with on of the other caps (flat top or stainless/plastic)
OR
2) they changed the design of this cap between when he bought his and when I bought mine
OR
3) I've just been lucky so far.

The one way I think this could be improved would be to have some sort of texture around the edge of the cap to make it easier to grip for tightening and loosening. As it is, the surface there is a bit too smooth; so if your hands are wet, weak, or greasy from hand lotion or fried chicken you kind of have to stick your finger through the loop to get leverage. (The flat-top plastic cap does have a texture there that makes it easier to grip.)

It works fine
Not much to say about this cap except that it works! I bought several Kleen Kanteens with sport caps as gifts, then added these loop caps as alternatives for the recipients. Two things which are different from the caps on the older bottles: they are not as big or clunky, and the bottoms are hollow (instead of being sealed over).
