How much does a Kanteen weigh?

bottle weighs 6oz, the 27oz bottle weighs 8oz and the 40oz bottle weighs 11oz.
Can I put hot liquids in my Klean Kanteen?
No, Klean Kanteens are single walled and not for use with hot liquids.
Can I put my Kanteen in the freezer?
We do not recommend it and it will void the 1-year warranty against manufacturer
defects.
Can I put my Kanteen on a stove?
In a pinch, the Kanteen can be placed on fire or a stove. Beware not to melt the
plastic lid or burn yourself.
Why is the sports cap made of plastic and not
stainless steel?
Your teeth. We chose polypropylene #5 because it has no known leaching
characteristics and is softer if you hit a bump on the trail. If you’d rather
avoid plastic altogether, a stainless steel screw on lid is available as an accessory.
What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is an iron-containing alloy made from some of the basic elements
found on earth: iron ore, chromium, silicon, nickel, carbon, nitrogen, and
manganese. Properties of the final alloy are tailored by varying amounts of
these elements. There are more than 57 stainless steels recognized as standard
alloys on the market. Klean Kanteens are constructed from high quality sanitary
grade 304 stainless steel which has a low nickel content. Stainless steel has
excellent resistance to stain or rust due to its chromium content making it a
material of choice among the food processing, dairy and brewery industries.
Stainless steel is easy to clean, durable, inert and sanitary.
Is the Kanteen a thermos?
No. A Kanteen is a single-walled bottle and has little insulating properties.
Keep in mind that if your drink is boiling hot, the Kanteen will be too hot to
directly handle. The single-walled construction allows for more volume and the
option to put your Kanteen on a flame. Insulating jackets are available in hemp
or burlap to keep your beverage ice cold or warm.
How do I clean my Kanteen?
Klean Kanteens are dishwasher safe (washing caps in the dishwasher is not
recommended because H2O can squeeze itself into the cap) or easy to clean with a
bottle brush and mild soap. We recommend an old fashioned cleaner: white vinegar
and baking soda.
