Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Powder-coat finish degradation, Seal degradation and microbial growth and Thermal shock to seals on the Klean Kanteen and not on the Klean Kanteen.
  • We flag Polypropylene lid and straw thermal stability and Straw biofilm and microbial growth on the Klean Kanteen and not on the Klean Kanteen.
  • The Klean Kanteen is Stainless steel body, powder-coat finish where the Klean Kanteen is Stainless steel body, likely polypropylene or polyester straw lid, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
