Customer Reviews

Do not submerge
I ordered these as replacements to the plastic lids that came with my kanteens. They came with a "Made in China" sticker on them, so I soaked them in the sink to get the stickers off. They wanted to float, so I had to put something on them to hold them down in the water. A couple of hours later (I got distracted!), I picked them up to scrape off the stickers, and what do I hear but sloshing water... the lids had taken in water, but there was no way to open them up and get it out. All I could think was that the soapy water would be slowly leaking into my drinking water. So... it was back to the plastic lids Klean Kanteen Loop Cap/Polypro for us! (BTW, HealthEGoods was very helpful about returning them).

water trapped inside
I purchased several stainless steel caps. The adhesive from the labels wouldn't come off, so I soaked them in soapy water. The expensive lids now have water trapped inside where bacteria can breed. I can't get the water out; the caps are unsafe to use, and I'm out the money.

Better than the poly loop cap
After reading some negative reviews about the steel cap, I ordered my bottle with the poly cap instead. I was quickly unsatisfied with the poly cap because it retains the smell of whatever soap you used to wash it. I then ordered the steel cap and I found that it was far superior.

Not only does the steel cap wash cleanly without any residue or leftover smell, but it actually covers the entire lip of the bottle opening. The poly cap does not and it leaves this part exposed. This is important because this is where your lips are actually touching when you drink from the bottle.

I only hand-wash my steel cap, so I haven't had any of the water-retention problems that I've read about in other reviews.
