How durable are these to resist denting? I have a 40oz Klean Kanteen that gets dropped occasionally and dents like crazy. The larger bottles are so heavy when full, they tend to dent! Is this one better?

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've had one of them break but not like you described. The end of one of them cracked when the cup got knocked over. No problems so far with screwing the lid on even when my cup was filled with lots of ice.

My husband dented one but it's still usable and none of them have ever broken!

Not at all! We had had for 6 to 7 months and not 1 problem at all. Our son did bite through 1 nipple because we didn't pay attention that he was teething, but that is what can happen with any bottle!I give it a 9.7 out of 10 because I wish they had more schemes other then the two we have found available. It would be nice to have different patter or colors to tell if one is a juice cup and one is a milk etc.I say buy it, you will love them!

I haven't run into any viscosity issues, and my fridge holds about 38*f. The bottle design is pretty awful though. Unless it's freezing, it may just be that you're having a tough time with the bottle's form factor.

I've been using Nalgene Cantenes for 10 years now, never had one leak. I popped one, but that was my own fault, sat on it in my pack while it was half full of water.

I have two of the 8-oz and one of the 40-oz of these bottles and none leak. All the lids have rubber gaskets on them. I use the small ones in my daughter's lunch box. It looks like they've changed the lid design since I bought mine about 2 years ago. I can say that I've found the quality of their bottles to be excellent.

I have not had any problems with loose caps. I have, however, had problems with the bottles breaking, splitting, and leaking.

Hard for me to say. This is a good but not excellent quality sink. This is not the highest end stainless steel--a magnet can stick to it so it is not the highest grade. Having said that, after 18 months of heavy use, there are no dents in it. It is moderately scratch resistant. In terms of your question, hard for me to say as I have a water softener. But probably would stain easily with hard water. For me it was a question of cost. A higher quality Kohler stainless sink was another $300. For the money I am happy with this sink. Please let me know what you decide and how it works out for you.

They are not hard like an acrylic, but not super squishy, an older kid can squish if he really wanted to but there is no point cause the opening you drink out of is big enough to to pour. They have never popped open on me, but I wouldn't put it in a gym bag or back back that gets bashed around. I have a bunch we use for refilling for cold water, that is all I put iin them.

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

I have had a bottle break when dropped from counter level (my fault) onto a porcelain tile floor, but the plastic cover keeps it from shattering everywhere. My son has dropped the bottles a few times, also on the tile floor and the bottles have not broken. It must depend on the way it is dropped. I would not say it's guaranteed that it will break if dropped, but it is glass and depending on the floor, angle and force it may. The plastic cover helps.

It doesn't stand up to being dropped. I had a lot of problems with the top bursting open when dropped, and the latch on the lid ultimately gave it up one day. Replaced it with a standard screw-top Nalgene; more work to open, but definitely no durability issues.

both are probably decent, generic versions may be made with cheaper metals. Klean kanteen tends to be thicker and higher quality for long term use. The ones given out might be just as nice though.

My son has dropped them numerous times, and the bottle has passed the test consistently. The sippy cup cap though has not as it breaks with impact. We have put the bottle aside and will resume once he passes the "drops everything over the side" phase.

They are squeezable. Not thin like water bottle squeezable, but not as hard as a ketchup bottle where it will spray all over either. I think you will be just fine. I have had mine for two weeks and use it daily. So far they have held up well. I do plan on getting a few more sets as back ups if I need them.

My daughter thinks its hilarious to drop her sippy cup from her high chair onto our wood floor. So far it has not broken-- the silicone sleeve seems to protect it pretty well. I am not worried about it breaking in hand, but it could possibly break if dropped hard enough on the floor, but so far so good and we have been using those bottles since 4 months (now at 11 months).
