  • We flag Plastic cap degradation from heat stress and Mold or bacterial growth in closure seals 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, plastic cap, 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.
