Customer Reviews

Great Bottle...BUT...
This bottle is light-weight, taste-free, has a good seal, etc., but it DENTS pretty easily. So far, I've gotten about 5 dents, one pretty severe, without ever noticing I even dropped the bottle while in my duffle bag, daypack, etc.

I've checked out the Kleen Kanteen, and it's much tougher and apparently has thicker steel walls.

The Best!
I just bought this bottle like a week ago and I can tell it's already better than a Sig and other bottles I've tried in the past. First of all, it's not aluminum and yeah yeah they Sig tells you it's coated and you don't have to worry about aluminum exposure. But let me tell you I've tried 2 of their bottles and turned them back. The first one I had the threads were not properly coated and I tasted aluminum every time I took a sip, and the second started tasting bad because I forgot to wash it only one night, One Night! That's all it took, and the bad taste would not go away, even after soaking it in baking soda and water, and after that didn't work, vinegar and water. Turned it back, got this one instead, it was a little more expensive but worth it. First of all there are a couple of great pros compared to other bottles.

1. Stainless steel - You don't have to worry about exposing yourself to aluminum or plastic that is said to impart chemicals into the water.
2. The cap is perfect in everyway, Leak proofed by a silicon O-ring that's firmly in place. The entire part of the cap that screws into the bottle is sealed off and is completely made of Stainless steel with nice big rounded threads so you won't have to worry about it stripping in the future. Something Sig bottles looked like they would have a problem with in the future, especially since their cap is plastic, and the bottle treads are aluminum. Stupid idea.
3. Wide mouthed opening
4. Lightweight
5. Taste-Free
6. Easy to clean.........And if you forget to clean it, there is nothing to worry about since everything is stainless steel, not some funky rubbery membrane that holds on to smells and taste.

But the main bottom line is, I'm now saving money by not buying water that is questionably pure from companies like Aquafina and Dasani, of which used to give me terrible heartburn anyway.

Recommended Klean Kanteen alternative
The main reason I chose this bottle over Klean Kanteen (KK) is that it comes with a stainless steel (SS) cap, whereas KK charges extra money for the SS cap (shame on KK). This turned out to be a very good alternative to KK and did not disappoint. I was at first concerned with two potential issues others have mentioned, i.e. the metallic taste of water and denting of the bottle. But, having used it for a while now, I have not experienced either problem. I will discuss the quality of the cap later.

Initially there is a metallic smell inside the bottle. Instructions on how to clean the bottle are actually printed on its sides: use diluted vinegar or baking soda. To get rid of the metallic smell inside the bottle by filling the bottle with diluted vinegar overnight. As for the metallic taste, I wouldn't say the water actually tastes metallic. It's more accurate to say that the outside of the bottle smells metallic when you are drinking from the bottle, but the smell went away pretty fast for me (which will not be a nuisance to the majority of the population).

The construction of the bottle is very sturdy. I cannot see how someone could claim it dents easily, except perhaps by filling and dropping it several feet up.

A common complaint about SS bottles is that they are too cold to hold when you fill them with iced drinks and too hot when you fill hot drinks. I am using this bottle mainly to hold hot tea while I go out or when I go to work. I wrap a sock over the bottle, and that pretty much solved the heat problem for me (this also works for iced drinks by making the bottle easier to hold while absorbing condensation forming outside the bottle).

Because the cap is made of SS, it does make noise when being turned, but not so loud to attract attention. I have not had leaking problems so far. The only time when water leaked out under the O-ring seal is when I put near-boiling water into the bottle and turn it on its side, which is not something most people would do.

I highly recommend this bottle to anyone seeking an alternative to plastic water bottles and the rather overpriced KK bottles. Its SS cap makes it much more cost-efficient than the KK bottles, and the quality does not disappoint.
