Is it safe to carry the klean kanteen by the loop on the bamboo cap or will it break..

It sometimes falls out, but this can be fixed by squeezing it tighter again.

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.

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.

It is not designed to function like that. It will leak or the cap will fall off if held upside down.

I first bought this for my 18 month old and after the second week she had already broke both sippy tops. Surprisingly, the bottle itself did not break. I have since ordered a new set of sippy tops and we just make it a rule not to leave her with the bottle. None of the tops have broke since. If you buy it for your little person do not leave it in their possession. Hope this helps.

I have a couple Klean Kanteens and the brush fit just fine through the mouth. With my tallest one the bush just barely reached the bottom.

I've been bringing one this size to work for quite a few years so it's not too big for me. I carry it by the loop at the base of the lid but if you are carrying a container of liquid it better have a good, tight seal on it because the bag will not carry level unless you use the shoulder strap which has no padding.

If you contact Kleen Kanteen directly they will send you that spout cap free of charge. I like having it because it keeps the part that touches my mouth from touching anything else, and it can't get lost because it attaches to the bottle with a loop.

Yes, it won't be as protected, but it's just a cap. It doesn't hold anything together.

Yes. There is a cap that screws on both sides. This version has a little o-ring that keeps the cap on while it's in your bag which is an improvement from the last model. The other one would come loose all the time.

I bought this for my mother because I liked the black one I have. I believe you click the top portion down or trust it. What looks like a cap is not ment to be removed to cover the top.

Not really. It still screws on tight and I have no problems with leaks or anything but when tight the hole in the lid is too close to the handle to make it easy to hold & drink out of. It doesn't bother me though because I use a big long straw to sip out of. Keeps my stuff cold all day & I love it.

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 purchased this bottle and I have not had any problems with the cap accidentally opening. I carry the bottle in my bag with my books, cell phone, tablet, etc. The cap is secure and stays tight withstanding movement very well.

It would be difficult to carry around. Bulky, heavy, and glass (breakable). Would not recommend carrying it around. I wouldn't recommend it being a daily water bottle/jar. Would not be easy to pour from as it doesn't have a lip only a normal jar opening.

You should NOT use the top loop to hook this canteen onto your pack. First, over time, using the loop as a carrying handle will unseat (or maybe wear/stretch?) the plastic center piece in the lid (the plastic "rivet" the loop hooks onto at the top of the canteen lid) and will cause the canteen to leak substantially when not in the upright position. (The water leaks through the top of the "rivet" area.) Second, the strap is not that strong, and over time would likely break if you carry it that way.

I've bought two of these. The first one, I was not able to. The second one didn't really have that problem.My experiences from the first one was that no matter how tightly I screwed the cap on, it would still leak if the bottle was on its side. I never had an issue from either of mine leaking from the cap when it was right-side up. If it leaks from that position, you probably should get a new one because that's not supposed to happen whatsoever.

no its properly attached to the cap! I then looped the other end around my camera strap so I also wont lose it as I too am always losing the darn things!

Yes, I carry it in my backpack all the time. I have not really dropped it deliberately to test it. I think it should be able to withstand minor accidental drops.
