Where these two actually differ
- We flag Plastic seal and gasket degradation and Bacterial or mold growth in seal cavity on the Contigo and not on the Klean Kanteen.
- We flag Powder-coat cap degradation over time, Bacterial biofilm in cap threads and seals and Thermal stress on seals at extreme temperatures on the Klean Kanteen and not on the Contigo.
- The Contigo is Stainless steel mug, no documented PFAS-containing coating where the Klean Kanteen is Stainless steel bottle, stainless steel cap, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
