Product Spotlight: Klean Kanteen
We are proud to carry these water bottles in our store. They are made with food-grade stainless steel and are sturdy, but are surprisingly lightweight. They come in several sizes and have interchangeable adapters so you use them as sippy bottles until your child is ready for the sport or flat cap. One of the best features is that they are BPA-free. BPA, or Bisphenol A, made news last year out of concerns it may leach out of bottles containing it into liquids inside.
Klean Kanteens have wide openings making them easy to clean with a bottle brush or you can put it in the dishwasher. You can also fill them with your child’s favorite beverage, even juices that can stain other bottles. Inside there is no liner to stain, or for that matter break. One of our employees carries one everywhere and has never experienced an odd taste in their water. Which reminds us, these bottles are so versatile you may want to buy one for yourself so you aren’t always borrowing your son’s or daughter’s bottle.
It is important to mention that they can’t double for a thermos because they aren’t insulated and thus are not meant for hot beverages. You can ice down liquids inside but it isn’t recommended that you freeze them, either. However, as an everyday water bottle for team practices, game days, family walks/hikes, or park picnics they are a great choice.
And remember, anytime you choose a durable, long lasting water bottle over a disposable one you are making a positive environmental choice. With the Klean Kanteens, not only are they capable of lasting a long, long time with proper cleaning and treatment, they are 100% recyclable – closing the loop on the cycle of resource to product back to resource.
