Where these two actually differ

  • 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 Stanley.
  • We flag Plastic lid and gasket degradation, Bacterial or mold growth in gasket, Stainless steel pitting from acidic or salty beverages and Off-gassing or odor from plastic components on the Stanley and not on the Klean Kanteen.
  • The Klean Kanteen is Stainless steel bottle, stainless steel cap where the Stanley is Stainless steel body, BPA-free plastic lid and gasket, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Klean Kanteen is the one to buy.
