As advertisedDecember 2, 2008 This is my first stainless steel water bottle (18 oz, with poly loop cap), and I really like it. No more deformed plastic bottle / bad tasting water! The only down side is that the water gets warmer on hot days and cool on cold days. but plastic water bottles have similar problems too.
I love it!December 1, 2008 Some reviews said the water has a metallic taste. I have not noticed that but it might be because I have the sport cap so I don't put my mouth against the can. I have no problem getting the water out like I do with my neoprene bottles. I always had to partially unscrew the cap so I could suck the water out and then it would leak. With the kanteen I twist it ever so slightly and it comes out fine. I'll never go back to plastic.
Great item!November 29, 2008 I thought myself to be one of those people who are sensitive to the metallic taste of the water in stainless steel container. Fortunately, I didn't taste anything metallic and only clean tasting water.
Good bottle, try different top.November 26, 2008 I'm very happy with the bottle, but it's a little awkward to drink out of. I'll order a sport top next time.
I LOVE these!November 26, 2008 These water bottles are excellent. I was worried about the width of the top and how easy it would be to drink from, but it is perfectly fine.
