What more can you ask for?
I've owned this bottle for a couple months now and I have no complaints. Well, strike that, I have one complaint: the cap has been known to leak unless you close it with a very precise amount of torque - which you will learn in time.
I've heard that some people have had problems with mold growing inside the bite valve but I haven't experienced that, and to be honest, I haven't cleaned it since the day I started using it. I purchased an extra bite valve (which also came with 3 extra straws), just in case, but I don't think I'll need it for a very long time.
Otherwise, the water flows well, it's fairly durable (I've dropped it dozens of times) and attractive, and the water tastes only of water, not plastic.
I'm happy with my purchase.

good replacement for older bottles
After finding out about the whole BPA thing, I started replacing all my old bottles. Like the metal bottles, but missed the bright colors, which let me keep my bottle separate from the bottles of everybody else. This solved the problem with a nice, bright BPA-Free bottle that I could easily distinguish from others with an easy-to-use cap. No more spilling or dribbling water down my shirt when I'm on the treadmill.

great bottle...great bite valve
Even though my wife didn't understand the "bite-valve" concept and took it off to drink, it just popped back on and works fine. Great bottle.
Rating :     
Great delivery, needs a better shape
One of the primary reasons I purchased this particular product was that the picture online showed a bottle shape (in this color) which appeared tapered to fit into a cup holder. When the product arrived, it was not the specific shape I had been hoping to receive. However, there was never really a place to select the desired shape -- only the color and size. So, I relied on the picture, took my chance, and lost. Love the CamelBak bite valve, love the 1 Litre capacity, love the measuring gauge on the side of the bottle (something you can't really see in any photo).

straw is terrible = bottle is terrible
The straw was atained a bright yellow AFTER JUST ONE USE, drinking gatorade out of it. Washing it didn't remove it. Maybe they should make the straw black next time. Also, the straw doesn't stay in place well. This bottle is not good.

Customer Review :
pretty good bottles
i got three 12 ounces container for my kids and so far so good-been a few weeks. srewing the cap on is easy, but when you're pushing the piece at the very top to close it you really have to put a bit of pressure-easy for me but not for my four and six year olds. i had to really stress this with my three kids because it kept leaking in their lunchboxes-they finally got the hang of it. the size is very good-not too big and not too small. i think what would make this better is if it had a snap top because you're not able to pull enough water fast enough when you're really thirsty-a plastic bottle you can aid the flow of water by squeezing it(though the material isn't healthy). all in all i am pleased with the purchase and i would recommend this to others-i'm just very, very picky :^)

Picky shopper.
The first one I recieved had a dent, so I sent it in for a replacement. The second one had paint along the lip and was not sealed properly. The third was just like the second one. Three times is a charm. I'm sending in the third one for a refund.

A nice water bottle
You can get stainless steel water bottles for far less, but I like the KKs. They are seamless on the outside and have a simple, attractive finish. I use mine at work where we have filtered water on the ground floor which tastes a lot better than water from the drinking fountains. That's not the most demanding environment, but it seems well made and the steel is slightly thicker than some of the less expensive bottles I've seen at Target, etc. I got the 27 ounce basic bottle with the loop top. I would probably opt for the 40 ounce if I were to buy another since it's only a little larger and weight is not a concern for my purpose.

The only water bottle that could double as a weapon!
I have a Camelback water bottle too, and it's great, but if I were stranded in the woods and a bear approached me I'd be in trouble. They say it's unbreakable but it's a little too light to deter a bear, no matter no hard I swung. My 40 oz. Klean Kanteen, on the other hand, would make that bear think twice before feasting on me.
Seriously though, I own a black, 40 oz. Klean Kanteen water bottle, with the Sport 2.0 cap, and it's great. It looks good, the water tastes only of water, and it's clearly (from the story above) durable.
Feel comfortable purchasing this product without hesitation.

Happy with my Klean Kanteen
These water bottles are very handy. They are all different colors so no one gets their waters mixed up. They fit in every backpack and they even hook on to your pants! The stainless steel keeps you water cool on hikes. Overall a great bottle.

Ideal solution for solution carry.
The cap threading is the best I've seen, with no alignment or cross threading problems at all. Beats any on the market that I have tried.

The best water bottle!
I have tried other stainless steel water bottles, and these are the BEST! The size is perfect and I love the choices for the tops. I chose the one that has a loop and it makes it so easy when I go for a walk to hold on to it. I love that the kleen kanteens have wider openings for the top - this makes it easy to put ice in if wanted and so much easier to refill. I have washed mine many times in the dishwasher and it is extremely durable. This is the best water bottle!

Bad taste and smell and leaks
I bought 4 of these to take on traveling to save on plastic bottles and I am not sure how often I will use them actually.
The thought of leaving any water in it for a day, let alone over night grosses me out.
There's this revolting metal smell and taste that goes into the water from the canteen. I even bought the sport cap tops and that still doesn't help, even smelling the cap after it's been on for a while has the same sickening smell.
The only way you don't notice it as much is if the water is very cold and you pour it into a glass. Drinking straight from the canteen is gross and I only do so when extremely thirsty as I'd really rather not.
I have no idea why it's such a bad smell and wondered if anyone else noticed.
The bottle also cannot be turned upside down or put into a bag because it just leaks water everywhere. The sport tops have this rubber piece that opens up when you suck water through it and it just leaks water unless the canteen is completely upright.
This is what you get for an expensive "clean" waterbottle?
Rating :  
Highly recommended
This is an awesome water bottle to own! It is a great way to stop using so many plastic bottles and just re-use this one. It cleans up very well. I am considering buying an insulated one to have for hot drinks as well.
Rating :     
So versatile & much better than plastic!
I keep the 40-oz bottle with the sports cap by my bed for when I get thirsty at night and to help me swallow my morning pill (if I don't take it right upon waking, I tend to forget). I prefer to use a bottle with a cap rather than a glass because a) when I'm sleepy I have a tendency to knock things over, and b) one glass is just not enough when you are thirsty! I used to use plastic bottles, but always felt bad about all the waste, not to mention the possible carcinogenic effects... Plus, after a few days the water bottles get that "smell" which I imagine is from bacteria building up around the neck. I also bought the 12-oz bottle with a flat lid; it's VERY small, but can fit in a purse and is useful to keep on your desk at work, especially if your workplaces has a water distributor where you can get refills. I'm going to order a 27-oz bottle to keep at hand in our home office as well, just to round out the collection! I LOVE how you can mix and match the lids to suit your needs. All 3 bottles will come in SOOO handy when summer arrives and we start doing more outdoor activities like picnics, hiking, etc.

Editorial Review :
Emergency thermal blanket to be used as emergency shelter. Also great for camping, hiking, and surviving the cold outdoors. Excellent as liner of sleeping bag.
Customer Review :
Exactly as described
The emergency blankets arrived and are exactly as described in the ad. The shipping was increadibly fast, and the size of the actual blanket pakaging is small enough to be convieniantly stored almost anywhere. I plan on keeping these in the glove box of my car, and may get more to keep around the house or store with our camping gear.
Rating :     
What's expected
These thrermal blankets perform exactly as advertised. They are very thin mylar or something, take up very little space, but are extremly good at reflecting heat. Will help keep things hot or cold. If used for an emergency, should protect one from the cold, however keep in mind these are only designed to reflect heat, basically reflect radient heat. You also would need some sort of insulation such as a regular blanket on top of this for total protection. Its a good product, well worth the cost, and if its all you have in an emergency, would certainly be helpful.
Rating :     
Don't "Bug Out" Without Them!
These thermal blankets are an absolute must for your survival pack. Although they are designed to be used against your body while wearing very little clothing (maximum heating effect occurs when placed directly against your skin), they will help keep you warm while you are fully dressed. They are also thin enough to cut into pieces to put against your skin under your clothes (chest, legs and arms). As others have indicated, they do have a variety of uses. If you must improvise, adapt and overcome to survive, it will be much easier with these in your arsenal!

A life saver
I made a mistake buying a Texsport Willowbend Trail Tent [...]
I ended up waking up in the middle of the night on top of a wet and cold sleeping bag. I grabbed one of these blankets, wrapped myself with it and stayed dry and warm. Highly recommend it to any one who camps out!

Not Quake Kare
I bought these for emergency readiness so have not used them yet. I am giving the three star rating only because the retailer sent a different brand from what I ordered. If you want Quake Kare do not expect to get it here.

Technology - When the game is on the line, no detail is too small. That's the philosophy behind everything we make, we design the lenses, the frames and every detail to work together. The result: Your sunglasses not only look and feel great, they perform as hard as you do.

Great goggles, Great price!
The goggles worked great. It was cold and windy and some times there was blowing snow. they did not fog up, not even a tiny bit. I have the Vermillon Lens and for the first minute things seem pink but after that all colors look normal. My eyes are very sensitive to bright light, hence the reason I wanted tinted ski goggles. These took down the brightness but did not reduce visibility even as the sun went down. I decided to get my wife a pair. She wore her sun glasses and they were constantly fogged up. I gave them a 5 star because I can't possibly think of how the goggles could work better. I did not crash with them on so I don't know how durable they are but they look to be quality built.

Great Skiing Goggles
Me and my wife have a pair we use them for skiing and snowboarding to protect us from the glare and the cold. There good quality doesn't fog up and have pretty good glare reduction and best of all, the price. You won't find them anywhere else this cheap.
Rating :     
Great Goggles for the Price
I a once-a-season type skier, and thank god for Amazon Prime. I picked up these inexpensive goggles, and even with overnight shipping, they were way cheaper than my options at the mountain. The quality was quite good, rivaling some goggles at about double the price. Good deal.
Rating :     
These are great price wise, but they are enormous
Goggles dwarf the face and looked like something that Jacques Cousteau would've worn in 1975. But they do the job. At least, you can still see afterwards.

Good goggle....
It's pretty good, considering the price...but tends to fog up since I sweat a lot! I use it for winter hike when the condition gets too windy....great for protecting your face ^^
