How much does a Kanteen weigh? Klean Kanteens are lighter than they look, the 18oz bottle weights 6oz, the 27oz bottle weighs 8oz and the 40oz bottle weighs 11oz.

Can I put hot liquids in my Klean Kanteen? No, Klean Kanteens are single walled and not for use with hot liquids.

Can I put my Kanteen in the freezer? We do not recommend it and it will void the 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects.

Can I put my Kanteen on a stove? In a pinch, the Kanteen can be placed on fire or a stove. Beware not to melt the plastic lid or burn yourself.

My sports cap broke or leaks. Will you replace it? Absolutely. We offer a 1-year guarantee on the Klean Kanteen bottles, sports cap and lid against manufacturing defects. Please send us your damaged goods along with your return address and we will replace them free of charge. If you have questions or comments, email them to customerservice@kleankanteen.com

Why is the sports cap made of plastic and not stainless steel? Your teeth. We chose polypropylene #5 because it has no known leaching characteristics and is softer if you hit a bump on the trail. If you’d rather avoid plastic altogether, a stainless steel screw-on lid is available as an accessory.

What is stainless steel? Stainless steel is an iron-containing alloy made from some of the basic elements found on earth: iron ore, chromium, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and manganese. Properties of the final alloy are tailored by varying amounts of these elements. There are more than 57 stainless steels recognized as standard alloys on the market. Klean Kanteens are constructed from high quality sanitary grade 304 stainless steel which has a low nickel content. Stainless steel has excellent resistance to stain or rust due to its chromium content making it a material of choice among the food processing, dairy and brewery industries. Stainless steel is easy to clean, durable, inert and sanitary.

What is nickel and how can it affect my health? Nickel is a naturally abundant element found in the earth’s crust, soil and ocean floor. It is generally resistant to corrosion and is therefore used to make metal alloys such as stainless steel. Approximately 10-15% of the population is sensitive to nickel. The health effects of nickel are highly dependent on the manner and degree of exposure, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), a department of the U.S. Dept. of Public Health and Human Services. The ATSDR warns that environmental exposures may arise from wearing costume jewelry, handling coins or from inhaling dust near nickel industries. The most common reaction to handling nickel is a skin rash at the site of contact. Less frequently, those sensitive to nickel have asthma attacks after inhaling dust containing nickel. Klean Kanteens are constructed of high quality, sanitary grade 304 stainless steel. 304 has a low nickel content and is preferred by breweries and dairies.

Will the stainless steel react with acidic beverages? No.

Why is the Kanteen made in China? Cost and quality.

Is the Kanteen a thermos? No. A Kanteen is a single-walled bottle and has little insulating properties. Keep in mind that if your drink is boiling hot, the Kanteen will be too hot to directly handle. The single-walled construction allows for more volume and the option to put your Kanteen on a flame. Insulating jackets are available in hemp or burlap to keep your beverage ice cold or warm.

How do I clean my Kanteen? Klean Kanteens are dishwasher safe (washing caps in the dishwasher is not recommended because H2O can squeeze itself into the cap) or easy to clean with a bottle brush and mild soap. We recommend an old fashioned cleaner: white vinegar and baking soda.

Why is stainless steel better that aluminum? Aluminum although light weight has to be lined with something to make sure the contents are safe for drinking. Usually it is lined with baked on epoxy (toxic) or ceramic (can crack).
