Is it safe to carry the klean kanteen by the loop on the bamboo cap or will it break..
1134826
It sometimes falls out, but this can be fixed by squeezing it tighter again.
1134827
I wouldn't do it...I have two of them, and if they were empty, sure, but full I have had one stretch out when the 550 cord shifted to one side and stretched the loop enough to come out. I use the loop to dummy cord it, to remove it from a fire when used for boiling, and affix a rubber band to it to cut done on the rattling in the car.

It won't break. The loop inserts into the stainless cap. The bamboo is just for aesthetics. The bottle is too big (27oz) to carry on a belt loop but maybe it would fit a hiking pack nicely.

I'm glad you asked this question. I have carried my klean canteen by the loop on the bamboo cap many times. Even when the bottle is full to the brim, I have not had any problems. The lid is very strong..........well made and well worth the cost.

The loop is very sturdy. I carry mine by the loop all the time and always feel like it is secure. The loop is made of pretty thick, solid metal.
1134831
Yes. I carry it by the loop a lot and also hang it by the loop. The two I have/ had were sturdy and I had no problems with the lid loop.

I would guess it is a safety issue. But why would you want to use it when the cap is on? I enjoy mine & haven't had a problem

I just bought the Klean Kanteen Wide Insulated Bottle with Stainless Steel Loop Cap (Brushed Stainless, 20-Ounce) and this bottle brush. When I place the bottle brush in my Kleen Kanteen, the entire black handle sicks out. So, no. Not too short, just right,

I've had nearly every type of water bottle out there, from Sigg to Nalgene and everything in between, and I can tell you that the Kleen Kanteen, with its non-coated food-grade stainless steel construction is by far the best I've owned. Yes, The caps on all models I've tried fit securely and do not leak. I toss mine all over the place and have never had a problem out of them. I wouldn't recommend the reflective surface model if finger prints, grime and dents and whatnot bother you. I have a couple of the brushed finish designs and I love them all. I hope I answered your question with this novella that I've written. Cheers.

Amazon (through Backcountry) has finally started selling the lid. It's not airtight (the tumbler isn't threaded for a cap), but will keep things the right temp longer and maybe reduce spills.http://www.amazon.com/Klean-Kanteen-Pint-Lid/dp/B00IPOT5B8/ref=pd_sbs_sg_5?ie=UTF8&refRID;=140VDB5S7KMC6A577RPM

They sell the pint lid (http://www.amazon.com/Klean-Kanteen-Pint-Water-Bottles/dp/B00EAIYQ12/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid;=1422984886&sr;=8-4&keywords;=Klean+Kanteen+lid) which is not spill proof, but will keep drink from slopping out when you move the cup. Not sure if that answers your question.

currently my answer is NO. if the cap is better closed . l place it in my baby bag while family outing. you know that the bottle would not stand still. but there is no water in the bag.

I have had no problem with the Osprey cap leaking if it is put on without cross threading. That being said, I find it very difficult to screw it on correctly. The retaining ring with keeps the cap attached to the hydration bag binds somewhat when you try to screw on the cap. It can look like it is screwed on correctly, but if you tilt it, it will be obvious if it is not.
2188271
Yes. That is how i carry it. I nestle the bottle in the cup and have both inside an insulated case.
294974
Yes. The cap is a screw top and incredibly tight. I keep it in my bag while commuting to work and never worry about it exploding

Yes, it won't be as protected, but it's just a cap. It doesn't hold anything together.
907213
yes, it is locked in place. kinda tough to pull the cap off. good luck and start walking.

I would contact Klean Kanteen. This sounds like a warranty issue. Flat cap should not be leaking.

The bottle does seem to be more durable especially with the paint on them but will still dent if dropped on a hard surface. I had a Klean Kanteen and wasn't a huge fan due to the denting but I love the Hydro Flask. I own an 18 and 32 oz but use the 32 oz far more. I have a few Nalgene too but hardly use them any more since getting the 32 oz because the Hydro Flask doesn't sweat and keeps liquids cold or hot for hours.

I take this bottle everywhere with me. love it even on walks it has a loop on it you can carry or put it on a belt. great investment for me. and it never leaks with the lid its great?

I just take off the lid to drink. And I think that the cap on the top should not be opened, maybe it's a gear for heat insulation.

It snaps tight and has never opened on me. Now I've noticed that some click closed easier than others, so you'd need to be certain it clicked shut, but they've all been very reliable as far as leaking. The only issue I've ever had is if I don't screw the cap on tight enough, it dribbles but that's on me.
