Description of Backcountry.com Goat Klean Kanteen - 27 oz:
If you're tired of tasting last night's concoction when drinking from your plastic bottle, leave after taste and clichéd look behind for the stainless steel Backcountry.com 27oz Goat Klean Kanteen. This lightweight, toxin-free, non-funky, and dishwasher safe water bottle leaves you old plastic or Lexan rig wanting. The Goat Kleen Kanteen comes though in a pinch as a container for boiling water, and the super-durable stainless steel exterior is sticker-friendly. As a green alternative to disposable water bottles, this sleek vessel carries the Goat logo with pride.
Bottom Line: The Backcountry.com Goat Klean Kanteen leaves polymer water bottles as a thing of the past.
I own 4 of these Klean Kanteen bottles - 2 27oz and 2 40oz bottles - and I use them everywhere - on runs, on trails, in the car, etc.
Finally an eco-friendly choice...but it gets better. Unlike plastic bottles (even the Nalgene and "taste-free" eco-plastic bottles), this is the only water bottle or bag that doesn't leach a nasty taste.
Plus, even Nalgene bottles have been shown to release carcinogens. To test, just put the bottle out in the sun for a day and drink. Yuk!
While plastics are porous (or micro-porous), this metal is not - meaning no nasty bacteria will grow on the bottle. Watch out - other plastics are treated with nasty chemicals to be anti-bacterial.
Plus these are super easy to clean - just add diluted vingear, shake, and rinse.
And the cap is awesome. It's very tight and has a great loop for extra security, clips, or just to slide a finger through.
They're light too!
Plus, the never wear out! What's not to like?
This bad boy stands 11inches tall, about 3 wide. The top takes about three turns and is tight. Durable, hell yeah- got dropped off a fire tower- hit two trees then rock. Thought for sure it was toast, just a dime size dent in the bottom. No way a nalgene plastic bottle would have made that plunge. This does not have any type of liner in it but fluids manage to stay at a decent temp. Opening at top is about 1 3/4 round. Big enough to slam some nice sizes cubes in it. Just buy it already..
I own 4 of these bottles to make sure I always have one with me. I love how durable they are. The water doesn't get that funky taste that plastic will sometimes give after sitting for awhile. Also, I can use it for spirits and not worry about the flavor staying in the bottle.
