Review Summary
The bottle is made of 18/8 stainless steel and has a wide mouth opening. It is a little taller and wider than some other water bottles, but this has not been an issue for the reviewer. He also mentions that the bottle is able to keep water cooler than plastic bottles, which is a nice feature. The reviewer has had it for about six months, really enjoys using the bottle and has not had any issues with it.
The bottle also has a flex cap with a d-ring that flips up, which can be used to fasten the bottle to a pack or other item. However, the reviewer has not had any problems with the bottle fitting in water bottle pockets or sticking out too far and hitting on things.
One of the reasons the reviewer really likes this bottle is because it has the potential to be used to boil water, which can be useful in outdoor situations like camping or survival.
In addition to the practical benefits of the Klean Kanteen bottle, the reviewer also likes the way it looks. He shows a comparison of the 40 ounce bottle next to a 32 ounce bottle and notes that the 40 ounce bottle is a little taller. He also mentions that he often carries the bottle on short walks by attaching a piece of paracord to the d-ring and just sling it over his shoulder.
Overall, the reviewer recommends the Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottle, as well as metal water bottles in general, for outdoor activities like camping and backpacking. He suggests including a metal water bottle in a campaign survival kit or bug-out bag.
