The bottles that are up for grabs are the TK Pro model and they are super robust! Probably suitable for someone who works long hours and needs longterm insulation. Stoked to be giving these away! Thanks for everyone who has joined the team!
Great video! 💪🙌👍 So I'm a student in highschool and I usually drink like 1.5 to 2 liters of water every day, but unfortunately I don't have a metal thermostat bottle. Because of that I can't bring tea or any other beverage with me.
Hey love that your doing this I'm a highschoo IB student that works very hard at school and at my part time job a water bottle would be great saving me time money and saving the environment!!
The color of the bottle does matter, with Hydroflask. I have a white 32 ounce and my dad had the black 20 ounce. If he left his in truck, it would get hotter faster.
I would like to mention to everyone seeing this video who is thinking about getting a KleenKanteen bottle: Do you need one? If you already have a hydroflask or any other water bottle/thermal flask, use that one until it breaks. The resources that went in to making that bottle shouldn't go to waste, even if there is a better bottle out there.
@@gamingguru2k6 Totally recommend it. I've had mine for 5+ years and it's still great. Its a good option if you want stainless steel bottle with zero plastic (except for the rim of silicone on the cap to keep the lid on tight).
Seems like back in the late-70's, early-80's that thermoses like these were really popular. A buddy of mine got a Hydroflask and was saying how amazing it is that it keeps stuff hot/cold all day. I was like "you're just describing a thermos. Remember thermoses when we were a kid? You'd take them on a hike or take hot soup to school for lunch." He was like "ohhhh, right."
Eeeyyy my school also bans them, the guards will open your bags to check if there are plastics, we only have residuals and compostable bins,i even forgot the name of the other bin.
I bought both Klean Kanteen & HydroFlask about 8 years ago. The vacuum insulation on HydroFlask stopped working after a few years. It started getting sweaty with cold beverages or really hot on the outside. I ended up recycling it because it wasn't useful anymore. The Klean Kanteen bottles are still going strong. No problems with the insulation. HydroFlask wide mouth lids fit the Klean Kanteen bottles which is really convenient.
Levi you are so underrated! Your filming style and editing techniques are flawless, and you put so much genuine effort into the research for your videos. I have learned so much from you, and it has truly impacted my life for the better. Keep it up, you'll get what you deserve xx
Love the comparison! I like people gravitate towards the hydro flask because they’re everywhere and have seemed to blow up recently. Definitely checking out Klean Kanteen!
Not the problem my friend! An individual with an opportunity! If these are too expensive there's Nalgene which is a solid brand and is cheaper. Also, I found my Klean Kanteen at my school's lost and found lol... so there's that option. Thanks for leaving a comment man!
Just fyi... you may want to do a quick google search on ingesting microplastics found in single use water bottles as well as plastic leaching from bottles used more than their single use purpose. I believe CBC did a good report on these microplastics entering the bloodstream. Take care of yourself and others. Cheers.
I want to use this bottle for my everyday use. I love Klean Kanteen and I've even bought my siblings their own bottles to support the cause. It would be great to have the bottle and I will cherish it forever, as these bottles last for so long and are so good. :)
dude, this video is awesome! I have so many friends that swear by the hydroflask, but there is no way that I am going to dish out $60 for a water bottle! I personally love my nalgene but I have been in the market for an insulated bottle. I love how you started off the video, very comical and honestly, you totally sold me on the Klean Kanteen. Giving back to the environment is a huge deal to me, an outdoor enthusiast, and the fact that Klean Kanteen is so devoted to giving back makes them a clear winner in my books. Thanks for the awesome content Levi! Keep it up my dude, thanks, and peace✌🏼🤙🏼
Klean Kanteen is actually more expensive if we are comparing. A 16oz bottle with Hydro Flask is $24.95 on REI as of now. Compared to KK for $30.95. So I’d say that’s a great deal for a reusable bottle!
Im 100% for klean kanteen cause my full bottle i bought from them fell like 10meters down a bridge on pure Concrete and it survived with only a small dent. I would say that they are truly making products that stay a Lifetime!
I'm a college student and have trying to be better about drinking more water while I'm on campus, but since campus is just full of vending machines, its easier and sounds better to me to just grab a soda out of the vending machine instead of just using my plastic water bottle that I use over and over again. I used to have a klean kanteen when I was in primary school, and had a hydroflask in high school but unfortunately lost that. I would use the kleen kanteen to get back into good habits of drinking more water and consistently so that I can feel better.
this video legitimately just changed my mind. I had both Klean Kanteen and Hydro Flask in my cart, and I wasn't sure which one I should get. Now I know Klean Kanteen is the way I should go. Thank you so much for giving me this information!
I will be using this bottle to store kombucha. I will be using this bottle to bring local craft beer places. I will be using this bottle on travels near and far. This bottle will live in my bag that I like to call my "Self Sufficiency Bag". It's a backpack that I wear everyday that has recycled PET grocery bags, a set of camping silverware (so I won't have to use plastics when I'm out), a towel to avoid napkins, my 12oz Aldi water bottle I take everywhere, a backpacking cup, and a travel mug for coffee when I get it out. The fact that this Kleen Kanteen bottle has a built in cup, it means I can pour a friend a drink, share my water, share my liquid resources with someone else while I also get to enjoy them. Thanks Levi for continuously promoting what you do and for being a consistent inspiration to improving my own sustainability.
I've started trying to reduce waste in my life, but it's really hard as a college student to find affordable sustainable things to use. I have been doing so much research on zero waste tips and water bottles and I'm trying to start saving up so I can purchase some reusable items, but it is so difficult. I'd use this bottle as a stepping stone to start on my goals towards reducing waste and helping the planet as best as I can.
I live in a tropical country so I would opt for a very cold drink. The problem with my current water bottle is that cold drinks usually just lasts an hour unless I freeze it completely which kind of sucks since I have to wait for it to melt a bit so that I can drink it. Klean Kanteen would be a lifesaver being a on the go college student. Plus, saving the environment is a huge plus.
Levi, I plan on using this bottle literally everywhere I go. I work on a college campus for one of my jobs and much of my day is spent walking, and at this time of the year, in the cold. Not only do I want to use this bottle to then hold my water, but store my precious cargo: hot coffee. Jokes aside, I already have a water bottle in my daily routine, but I value upgrading to an insulated bottle and more specifically to this bottle for Klean Kanteen's approach in business and your approach in informing your viewers. I so appreciate the videos and the level of knowledge and expertise you have that I can glean from in learning how to better use what's been given so generously to me.
My favourite part about your channel, beyond the fact that you seem to love what you do and it really shows(!) which makes it fun to watch, is that you really do care about thorough research of a brand and its purpose. You take it very seriously and your channel is not just about entertainment, it is about good things and good research, thank you! I forgot to add I’ve watched your other videos, I subscribed today. :)
Another great video and research, Levi!! I actually just recently went on this research myself and came to the same conclusion and got myself (for the very first time) a Klean Kanteen and a Miir bottle. Much like Patagonia and Klean Kanteen, Miir is also a Corp B Certified and 1% for the Planet company with lovely bottle designs! From what I understand, Patagonia actually approached Miir themselves and took them under their wing and that's how they ended up being both Corp B Certified + 1% for the Planet company! Miir has also been doing collaboration with multiple brands, including Patagonia themselves! You're right: the technology and functions are basically the same, so it really comes down to their philosophy and approach as a company. Unfortunately, most people won't spend that much time researching before making the purchase.
@@LeahandLevi I forgot to mention Miir is also a Product to Project company where they fund multiple projects around the globe. They claim "every product [they] sell funds a trackable giving project." So they give you what they call a "Give Code" with every purchase where you can register it on their website and see where it is making an impact.
I would put soup and tea in them to eat and drink while I’m making art, creating something new that expresses something within me, and while I’m hiking and enjoying the beauty of nature and the clarity it brings.
Since I study in the library most days, it would be so awesome to have a Klean Kanteen bottle to carry hot water and stay hydrated during those long study hours, especially in the winter!
Good to know. I'll keep my Hydroflask because I've already got it and it would be silly to expend the resources on a new bottle. But if I loose it or whatever I'll be sure to go Klean Kanteen as they are more environmentally responsible.
I’m in the market for a new water bottle and was originally thinking of buying a hydro flask. But this video convinced me that Klean Kanteen in the best option. Thanks so much!
Oh man why did I not find this channel any sooner?! Amazing idea for this platform. The world needs this! Thanks for creating this channel for us all Levi!
Being inspired to live more and more sustainably and switching to klean kanteen would be one of the next steps! Been trying to switch to the buy if for life even before I saw your channel but really digging your content. Keep it up Levi!
I have a big semester in college coming up. I’d love one of these bad boys to take on campus with me for coffee on late nights at the library and for water throughout the day. I’ve had my eyes on a Hydroflask for a couple months, but I’m officially on board with Klean Kanteen. Keep saving the world Levi!
Just stumbled across your channel and have become obsessed with your content and message. As a soon to be university student, I would use this bottle daily not only for hydration but also peace of mind.
I found a klean kanteen in the river while I was kayaking and picking up trash.used to use it to put fishing line I picked up in it.I decided to clean it up a few months ago and it is a great bottle keeps tea hot forever!
I am a commuting college student who tends to spend upwards of 16 hours on campus between my classes, club activities since I am president of all of the clubs I am part of, and spend 6+ hours a day in my chem lab working on my projects , so for me, having something that keeps my coffee or tea hot for a long time would be a game changer and would make all of my public speaking roles so much easier.
I am going to give this bottle as a gift to my dad because he needs a new thermos and uses one all day, this is a much more sustainable option and he would absolutely love it! Awesome video and the information is always amazing! Also I have an Instagram and have followed you for a long time but still don't have a Twitter account hope that doesn't exclude me entirely!
Just graduated college and entered the work force. I think this bottle would serve as a good statement for those who are older in the office and on a heavy plastic lifestyle to remind us there are other less impactful products we can implement daily
I beleive that owning a bottle that promotes sustainability and an eco-friendly message is important to have. As an athlete I am always keeping hydrated, whether it be drinking tea on the ski trails or cold water on a summer hike, I think an insulated bottle could help me year round. I also like to showcase what I beleive in with my actions. The capabilities of a reusable insulated water bottle compared to a one-use plastic cup from Starbucks is something I want to show to the world. I am always searching for the next step in creating a better world and I think owning a good reusable bottle from Klean Kanteen, a company that promotes such an inspiring message, is exactly what I need.
@Dried BananaS - I study nutrition and used to work in nutrition field, ingesting rust in small amounts will give you iron, but in large amounts it will literally start to rust your main organs and artery walls, leading to faster aging process😬. Even taking a very high dose of iron (SHAKING MY HEAD) also leads to faster aging of organs and body. Not a good idea, even with supplements.
I'm graduating from a degree in Environmental Science next year, and I plan on hiking the West Coast Trail in the summer. Hopefully I can use the bottle for hot water for the remainder of my classes and on the trail next summer
Bought a HydroFlask and it rusted on the inside (along the weld). Checked out Klean Kanteen and after reading about their company I have committed to buying their products. So far I have three. I got my mom one as well.
so right now i'm drinking out of a hydro flask but i am very interested in kleen kanteen. im in high school and we are learning about fossil fuels and i always knew that saving the environment is important but i feel like i have a larger understanding of how i can do better. i hope with this water bottle i can gain a better understanding also and think through how i can do better in my day to day life. also i'm a big fan of your stuff so keep up the good work.
This bottle would serve two purposes for me. I am a Cadet at the United States Air Force Academy so this would be my daily bottle, getting me through class with water and keeping my morning coffee hot. I'm also on the mountaineering club at usafa. When it comes to our trips, having at least one insulated bottle is key. Any other water bottle will freeze on the top of a 14k ft mountain, and not having to drink frozen slush is true a game changer. I can also really get behind the mission of the brand, great video Levi!
Wow I did not know that Klean Kanteen was this great as a business. That was definitely something I did not think about when it comes to purchasing a bottle. I am a commuting student so I am generally out all day and it is always nice to have an insulated bottle to keep my drinks hot during the winter. I have been trying to bring my own cups to coffee shops when I purchase drinks to go and it would be nice to have a Klean Kanteen for that.
Honestly I already got an Klean Kanteen bottle which I got a couple of months ago. HOWEVER, I do have a girlfriend that I know would love me (and you) if she got one. She's been living in Santiago, Chile for the last 5 months and what better gift then this can I give her when we meet. Great stuff Levi
I have both the Klean Kanteen and the Hydro Flask. Both have the same diameter opening at the top. The Hydro is 18 oz with a green painted surface and a flat top. The Hydro is brushed meatl ( Non Painted ) surface and a raised top. They look slightly different and hold a different ( 2 oz ) amount of liquid. The both will keep a beverage hot or cold , in my case it's a cold liquid called ice water. In summery , It's 6 of one and a half dozen of the other.
I have a narrow mouth insulated Klean Kanteen bottle and I really like it - less spillage when drinking than the wide. Even though the washing is tougher due to the opening. But it fits in the side pouches on my day to day pack. I also carry a second wide mouth one too for extra water on long hikes. Knowing the extra info on the company and their philosophy just adds to why Klean Kanteen is all I recommend.
This is the video I’ve been waiting for. I’m currently looking at purchasing an insulated water bottle and smaller one also for coffee. These are the two brands I’m juggling between. I really like Klean Kanteen’s ethical approach to not only the environment, but to social aspects of life. I’m usually on 10-12 hours shifts and really like the idea of having a vessel that will keep my water cold the whole shift. It’d be super cool and a privilege to win a bottle, but I’ll be sure to go and get a Klean Kanteen soon regardless. Cheers for the comparison!
There are a few bottles in our household from Klean Kanteen that I’ve bought for myself and a few family members. My youngest sister is more into the Hydro Flask (apparently that brand is very popular at her school). You mention that Klean can’t doesn’t have a bottle top like the Hydro flask thin bottle as in this video. I actually have a Klean Kanteen 20oz that is insulated and the lid is alike the Hydro Flask (It may have been discontinued if it’s no longer available. For that same bottle I have a common black lid, and I also have a stainless steel lid which the brand recommends only for room temp or cold beverages. I’ve used for coffee and it’s not that bad but I do use with caution.
I'm here again after watching your Future proof videos on the water bottle trends... similar content and messaging, but not gonna lie I miss this formatting! It'd be great to see an updated perspective on how "future proof" different B certified corps are and the role certification plays in marketing/consumerism
1% for the Planet is 1% of sales, not profits! That way the environment comes before profit. This video is old and you probably know this already but I wanted to say it just in case :) Source: my company is a member.
Costco sells 2packs of the Takeya brand bottles for $25 (Canadian), which are generally better reviewed than both of these, and some people even buy the Takeya lids for their hydroflask or klean canteen bottles :P
I don't have twitter but, I would love the Klean Kanteen bottles to gift to my mom! because 1. I know she would love it and 2. because she is always buying 1 time use cups for her coffee. Thank You Levi!!
I have a 40oz limited edition for hydroflask and wouldn't change it for the world. I run a lot so I need the water, but I'm looking into getting a Klean Kanteen. (They have cute designs at target)
Thank you for making this video! I have been wondering about what sets them apart for a while and it’s nice to know that Klean Kanteen is more that just a business.
Lately I've felt inspired to turn my life a new way, I haven't long enough to know exactly what I want to do in life, but I don't think i'll ever really know without going out and adventuring. This bottle would be a wonderful thing to carry with me on the never-ending path through adventure and Hardships. Repair is a radical act, and with a well suited bottle that will last me a lifetime, I think it's a perfect companion ;)
I have the Kleen Kanteen growler with the bamboo top cap, which has the same small opening and cap style as the hydroflask in this video. Best of both worlds. I get comments about it all the time because it looks more classy than Hydroflask's designs and because the brand is less well-known where I am.
i don’t have a twitter account but i would definitely use the bottle to store coffee as it gets really cold in the library when i study and coffee would really help wake me up in the morning 🤣
I would love to use the bottle for my coffee cravings on my way to school. I think what this company is amazing and I love how they are so environmentally conscious. I try my best to stay as zero waste as possible. I compost, recycle and stop buying so much stuff. But as a student I have found it really difficult to go the next step as I cannot afford good quality items. This mean I have to settle for an inferior dupe which I end up needing to throw away after a couple of years. Overall this bottle will seriously help me on my way to making a positive impact on the world and will help to inspire others. Ps love your videos!
I have 4 different size hydro flask bottles (from 10 year old bottle to 2 year old bottle). I use them all for different drinks. No issue and no complaint.
Awesome review! Tiger is another brand that has some quality water bottles. I already have a stainless Starbucks tumbler that I carry, but I'd love to gift this to my boyfriend whom I havent seen for a year! haha He's a doctor in Manchester, UK and this will be a nice surprise gift for him when i come to visit him this January 2019. He is always on the go, driving here and there and i want to share tips and tricks with him to cut his single use cups, especially that he drinks a lot of coffee and tea during his hospital duties. Thanks for the opportunity Levi! :)
Thanks to your videos about Klean Kanteen, I recently bought a couple ones of this brand and Iam super happy with it! Thumbler even 32oz insolated bottle. I hope these ones will stay long with me :)
Klean Kanteen or Hydroflask, they both perform the same in my opinion. I just like hydroflask better because they look better. nothing against klean kanteen, they're good too.
I am a university student, I have had the same beat up and old water bottle I got from Superstore. It has suffered through a lot of falls and has many indents. I continue to use it because it reminds me of myself: a fighter. But it seriously cannot stand on it's own because of the dents at the very bottom. I am all about that hydration because where I live is very dry.
You probably won't see this because it is a month old - anyway. Important PSA from a water chemistry student and environmental lab rat. If coated aluminium bottles (all aluminium bottles are coated) get dents from falling down etc., it creates small cracks and rips in the protective coating. This is no longer a healthy vessel for your daily water intake since the level of aluminium in the water can be much higher than the manufacturer intended. Please keep this in mind - if you are clumsy or have a small child, other materials may be a safer option. The children of my colleagues have stainless steel, glass or tritan bottles. Just a heads up!
I have 2 Klean Kanteens they’re both wide cup and they both leak every now and then, not a lot of water comes out but it seems it gets trapped somewhere. This eventually started annoying me and I switched over to hydro flask. Hydroflask never once leaked.
I plan on using this bottle for water throughout the day. I don’t drink anything else really, besides the occasional beer 😏 Having this bottle will be great in terms of always having cold, refreshing water to drink. One thing I hate about having a plastic bottle is how quickly the water seems to get warm, which is almost impossible to drink. So I turn to other drinks like coffee - which comes in a plastic/paper cup. I want to be more environmentally conscious, and I think this will be a great start.
Klean Kanteen is better. The only con that he mentioned was the inner rim of the bottle top that was indented making it a slightly difficult to clean. To me, the way it’s made, the inner rim actually protects the area where your lips touch and never exposes it to the external environment compared to the other bottle. I’ve had my bottle for over 5 years now and it has been working perfectly. Klean kanteen has replacement rubber gaskets for the bottle so this company is truly dedicated to making sure their bottles are sustainable. They don’t want you to keep buying and replacing bottles but instead make sure that the bottle you already have will last a long time. I bought the stainless steel bottle with the top that can be used as a cup and it’s awesome. It’s so sturdy and keeps things hot or cold for a really long time just like the original. You won’t be disappointed!
I’ve been looking into getting my “go to” water bottle for a while now... I’m notorious for getting a giant pack of plastic water bottles once a month or so when grocery shopping and I’ve been feeling more and more guilt the last few months with how much of a waste and harm to the environment it actually is 😬 It would be awesome to win and cut down on plastic!
I have a swell bottle I’ve been using for the past four years for everything liquid related, but I’d like to upgrade and support a company that’s not only sells eco friendly products, but makes an effort to support other initiatives as well.
I’ve been researching about water bottles because I’ve been wanting to replace my nalgene (BPA-free but still has BPA derivatives). It’s great that klean kanteen is doing all those positive things. Def will support their company! Followed you on insta, but I don’t have Twitter.
I’m trying to get my family to be more healthy and environmentally conscious. I’ve gotten my mother to stop using plastic water bottles and plastic grocery bags. My next step is to go on hikes and camping trips and I would use the bottles when with my family. They are creatures of habit so trying to make them more environmentally friendly will take some effort. I loved the video keep up the great work!
I just reuse wine bottles at home and keep em in the fridge. When I was younger I reuse milk bottles. I do have the white hydroflask whenever I go out when I dropped it, it easily dented. I still use it though.
The bottles that are up for grabs are the TK Pro model and they are super robust! Probably suitable for someone who works long hours and needs longterm insulation. Stoked to be giving these away! Thanks for everyone who has joined the team!
Great video! 💪🙌👍
So I'm a student in highschool and I usually drink like 1.5 to 2 liters of water every day, but unfortunately I don't have a metal thermostat bottle. Because of that I can't bring tea or any other beverage with me.

Hey checkout sigg bottles.
Hey! Nice work. What´s your opinion to Sigg thermo flask hot & cold? Thank you :)

Well, I don't have any bottle yet, so I was thinking of getting a Klean Kanteen.
True, although if you want it you can get it, no shame in it. But I’m sticking to mine until it breaks because I’m broke lol.
I currently own around 20-30 hydroflasks ranging in sizes and colors. I live where they were created so I’m partial to them.
Sop LV eh true but you could always give your old one to someone else or use both
@@gamingguru2k6 Totally recommend it. I've had mine for 5+ years and it's still great. Its a good option if you want stainless steel bottle with zero plastic (except for the rim of silicone on the cap to keep the lid on tight).

Hahaha this was amazing. 😂
I still do that. 'still'
i like the thermos better than the hydro flask
because the logo is cool
Im still using my thermos from decades ago hahaha
Thermos flasks had glass interiors, which while very hygienic, was more fragile than steel.
I think the difference in weight in worth noting too, even if the concept itself is nothing new.
I wanna buy one. I'm gonna use it for school since our school has already banned single used plastics to save mother earth
where do you go to school? (not trying to be a creep lol) is it in the usa?
Damn wish my school was that self aware
how does you school enfore this? if someone gets a plastic bottle, what do they do about it? seems like an interesting idea
Louise LouLou lol my school banned open bottles so 😬
Eeeyyy my school also bans them, the guards will open your bags to check if there are plastics, we only have residuals and compostable bins,i even forgot the name of the other bin.

Sounds like I'm getting a Klean Kanteen, if you ask me.
Allies All Around plus some of klean kantean bottles have nice colorsssss
I've had my hydro flask for years and can't complain
Sounds like your way too old.
But who asked u #teamhydro
this video legitimately just changed my mind. I had both Klean Kanteen and Hydro Flask in my cart, and I wasn't sure which one I should get. Now I know Klean Kanteen is the way I should go. Thank you so much for giving me this information!
I will be using this bottle to store kombucha.
I will be using this bottle to bring local craft beer places.
I will be using this bottle on travels near and far.
This bottle will live in my bag that I like to call my "Self Sufficiency Bag". It's a backpack that I wear everyday that has recycled PET grocery bags, a set of camping silverware (so I won't have to use plastics when I'm out), a towel to avoid napkins, my 12oz Aldi water bottle I take everywhere, a backpacking cup, and a travel mug for coffee when I get it out.
The fact that this Kleen Kanteen bottle has a built in cup, it means I can pour a friend a drink, share my water, share my liquid resources with someone else while I also get to enjoy them.
Thanks Levi for continuously promoting what you do and for being a consistent inspiration to improving my own sustainability.
I've started trying to reduce waste in my life, but it's really hard as a college student to find affordable sustainable things to use. I have been doing so much research on zero waste tips and water bottles and I'm trying to start saving up so I can purchase some reusable items, but it is so difficult. I'd use this bottle as a stepping stone to start on my goals towards reducing waste and helping the planet as best as I can.
I live in a tropical country so I would opt for a very cold drink. The problem with my current water bottle is that cold drinks usually just lasts an hour unless I freeze it completely which kind of sucks since I have to wait for it to melt a bit so that I can drink it. Klean Kanteen would be a lifesaver being a on the go college student. Plus, saving the environment is a huge plus.
I've just realised that I really like these videos where environmental companies/products are showcased
Levi,
I plan on using this bottle literally everywhere I go. I work on a college campus for one of my jobs and much of my day is spent walking, and at this time of the year, in the cold. Not only do I want to use this bottle to then hold my water, but store my precious cargo: hot coffee.
Jokes aside, I already have a water bottle in my daily routine, but I value upgrading to an insulated bottle and more specifically to this bottle for Klean Kanteen's approach in business and your approach in informing your viewers.
I so appreciate the videos and the level of knowledge and expertise you have that I can glean from in learning how to better use what's been given so generously to me.
My favourite part about your channel, beyond the fact that you seem to love what you do and it really shows(!) which makes it fun to watch, is that you really do care about thorough research of a brand and its purpose. You take it very seriously and your channel is not just about entertainment, it is about good things and good research, thank you! I forgot to add I’ve watched your other videos, I subscribed today. :)
Thanks so much! I’m really stoked that you’ve joined the team!
Another great video and research, Levi!! I actually just recently went on this research myself and came to the same conclusion and got myself (for the very first time) a Klean Kanteen and a Miir bottle.
Much like Patagonia and Klean Kanteen, Miir is also a Corp B Certified and 1% for the Planet company with lovely bottle designs! From what I understand, Patagonia actually approached Miir themselves and took them under their wing and that's how they ended up being both Corp B Certified + 1% for the Planet company! Miir has also been doing collaboration with multiple brands, including Patagonia themselves!
You're right: the technology and functions are basically the same, so it really comes down to their philosophy and approach as a company. Unfortunately, most people won't spend that much time researching before making the purchase.
Thanks for the feedback on Miir! I’ll have to look into them as a company!
@@LeahandLevi I forgot to mention Miir is also a Product to Project company where they fund multiple projects around the globe. They claim "every product [they] sell funds a trackable giving project." So they give you what they call a "Give Code" with every purchase where you can register it on their website and see where it is making an impact.
That is super cool! Thanks for this!
..
I would put soup and tea in them to eat and drink while I’m making art, creating something new that expresses something within me, and while I’m hiking and enjoying the beauty of nature and the clarity it brings.
I got my 2nd Klean Kanteen bottle because of this video. I am so happy.
Since I study in the library most days, it would be so awesome to have a Klean Kanteen bottle to carry hot water and stay hydrated during those long study hours, especially in the winter!
Good to know. I'll keep my Hydroflask because I've already got it and it would be silly to expend the resources on a new bottle. But if I loose it or whatever I'll be sure to go Klean Kanteen as they are more environmentally responsible.
I’m in the market for a new water bottle and was originally thinking of buying a hydro flask. But this video convinced me that Klean Kanteen in the best option. Thanks so much!
Oh man why did I not find this channel any sooner?! Amazing idea for this platform. The world needs this! Thanks for creating this channel for us all Levi!
Sweet! Super stoked you’re digging it!
Im going to give this bottle to my mom for Christmas! She likes to drink tea so this would be a great gift for her. Love your videos!
Being inspired to live more and more sustainably and switching to klean kanteen would be one of the next steps! Been trying to switch to the buy if for life even before I saw your channel but really digging your content. Keep it up Levi!
Thanks Lucas! Appreciate the support!
I was just about to buy a hydro flask thank you Levi for changing my mind
I have a big semester in college coming up. I’d love one of these bad boys to take on campus with me for coffee on late nights at the library and for water throughout the day.
I’ve had my eyes on a Hydroflask for a couple months, but I’m officially on board with Klean Kanteen. Keep saving the world Levi!
Amazing! Thanks for the comment!
Just stumbled across your channel and have become obsessed with your content and message. As a soon to be university student, I would use this bottle daily not only for hydration but also peace of mind.
Glad you are enjoying it my friend! Welcome to the team. 🤙🏻
Hi Levi! I don't need the bottle, as I already have one, I just wanted to say you're great, and I get a lot of value from your content. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the comment my friend!
I found a klean kanteen in the river while I was kayaking and picking up trash.used to use it to put fishing line I picked up in it.I decided to clean it up a few months ago and it is a great bottle keeps tea hot forever!
I am a commuting college student who tends to spend upwards of 16 hours on campus between my classes, club activities since I am president of all of the clubs I am part of, and spend 6+ hours a day in my chem lab working on my projects , so for me, having something that keeps my coffee or tea hot for a long time would be a game changer and would make all of my public speaking roles so much easier.
When my Hydroflask retires, I'll go with Klean Kanteen. The compassion for the environment and sustainability alone is enough to purchase one.
I am a tea addict and need to take two thermoses of tea with me everywhere always. Great video!
I am going to give this bottle as a gift to my dad because he needs a new thermos and uses one all day, this is a much more sustainable option and he would absolutely love it! Awesome video and the information is always amazing!
Also I have an Instagram and have followed you for a long time but still don't have a Twitter account hope that doesn't exclude me entirely!
Not at all! Thanks for the support!
I've been really needing to upgrade my Klean Kanteen because mine has seen better days and has been very loved 😂
Just graduated college and entered the work force. I think this bottle would serve as a good statement for those who are older in the office and on a heavy plastic lifestyle to remind us there are other less impactful products we can implement daily
I beleive that owning a bottle that promotes sustainability and an eco-friendly message is important to have. As an athlete I am always keeping hydrated, whether it be drinking tea on the ski trails or cold water on a summer hike, I think an insulated bottle could help me year round. I also like to showcase what I beleive in with my actions. The capabilities of a reusable insulated water bottle compared to a one-use plastic cup from Starbucks is something I want to show to the world. I am always searching for the next step in creating a better world and I think owning a good reusable bottle from Klean Kanteen, a company that promotes such an inspiring message, is exactly what I need.
I learnt a lot about sustainable businesses from this video and I’m really glad you chose KK because of its commitment to sustainability. :)
I had hydroflask which rusted a year later.. They never replied to my emails so its my duty to smear them whenever possible.
Angelos Ioannou I dropped mine a couple times and it started to make a rattling noise
Angelos Ioannou thats...idk gross? Is it even safe for you to drink rust?
What? No thats not me Obviously not
Mine did too!!!
@Dried BananaS - I study nutrition and used to work in nutrition field, ingesting rust in small amounts will give you iron, but in large amounts it will literally start to rust your main organs and artery walls, leading to faster aging process😬. Even taking a very high dose of iron (SHAKING MY HEAD) also leads to faster aging of organs and body. Not a good idea, even with supplements.
Have had my Klean kanteen for about 6-8 years now. It’s dented everywhere and works great still.
I'm graduating from a degree in Environmental Science next year, and I plan on hiking the West Coast Trail in the summer. Hopefully I can use the bottle for hot water for the remainder of my classes and on the trail next summer
I work as a zipline guide, and this would be perfect to carry a warm soup for lunch on cold and snowy winter days!
Bought a HydroFlask and it rusted on the inside (along the weld). Checked out Klean Kanteen and after reading about their company I have committed to buying their products. So far I have three. I got my mom one as well.
so right now i'm drinking out of a hydro flask but i am very interested in kleen kanteen. im in high school and we are learning about fossil fuels and i always knew that saving the environment is important but i feel like i have a larger understanding of how i can do better. i hope with this water bottle i can gain a better understanding also and think through how i can do better in my day to day life. also i'm a big fan of your stuff so keep up the good work.
This bottle would serve two purposes for me. I am a Cadet at the United States Air Force Academy so this would be my daily bottle, getting me through class with water and keeping my morning coffee hot. I'm also on the mountaineering club at usafa. When it comes to our trips, having at least one insulated bottle is key. Any other water bottle will freeze on the top of a 14k ft mountain, and not having to drink frozen slush is true a game changer. I can also really get behind the mission of the brand, great video Levi!
Amazing! Thanks for the comment Jesse!
plan on using my bottle for long nights in the office...to keep my coffee from the AM warm 😋
I would use the bottles to encourage myself to drink more water!
Wow I did not know that Klean Kanteen was this great as a business. That was definitely something I did not think about when it comes to purchasing a bottle. I am a commuting student so I am generally out all day and it is always nice to have an insulated bottle to keep my drinks hot during the winter. I have been trying to bring my own cups to coffee shops when I purchase drinks to go and it would be nice to have a Klean Kanteen for that.
Honestly I already got an Klean Kanteen bottle which I got a couple of months ago. HOWEVER, I do have a girlfriend that I know would love me (and you) if she got one. She's been living in Santiago, Chile for the last 5 months and what better gift then this can I give her when we meet. Great stuff Levi
I have both the Klean Kanteen and the Hydro Flask. Both have the same diameter opening at the top. The Hydro is 18 oz with a green painted surface and a flat top. The Hydro is brushed meatl ( Non Painted ) surface and a raised top. They look slightly different and hold a different ( 2 oz ) amount of liquid. The both will keep a beverage hot or cold , in my case it's a cold liquid called ice water.
In summery , It's 6 of one and a half dozen of the other.
Planning on using this bottle for my day during school, filling it with my coffee instead of disposable coffee cups
I have a narrow mouth insulated Klean Kanteen bottle and I really like it - less spillage when drinking than the wide. Even though the washing is tougher due to the opening. But it fits in the side pouches on my day to day pack. I also carry a second wide mouth one too for extra water on long hikes. Knowing the extra info on the company and their philosophy just adds to why Klean Kanteen is all I recommend.
This is the video I’ve been waiting for. I’m currently looking at purchasing an insulated water bottle and smaller one also for coffee. These are the two brands I’m juggling between. I really like Klean Kanteen’s ethical approach to not only the environment, but to social aspects of life. I’m usually on 10-12 hours shifts and really like the idea of having a vessel that will keep my water cold the whole shift. It’d be super cool and a privilege to win a bottle, but I’ll be sure to go and get a Klean Kanteen soon regardless. Cheers for the comparison!
There are a few bottles in our household from Klean Kanteen that I’ve bought for myself and a few family members. My youngest sister is more into the Hydro Flask (apparently that brand is very popular at her school). You mention that Klean can’t doesn’t have a bottle top like the Hydro flask thin bottle as in this video. I actually have a Klean Kanteen 20oz that is insulated and the lid is alike the Hydro Flask (It may have been discontinued if it’s no longer available. For that same bottle I have a common black lid, and I also have a stainless steel lid which the brand recommends only for room temp or cold beverages. I’ve used for coffee and it’s not that bad but I do use with caution.
I'm here again after watching your Future proof videos on the water bottle trends... similar content and messaging, but not gonna lie I miss this formatting! It'd be great to see an updated perspective on how "future proof" different B certified corps are and the role certification plays in marketing/consumerism
Two Klean Kanteen bottles identical to yours and both leaked. They also dent very easily.
All insulated tech bottles dent easily, klean kanteen, hydro flask, yeti, etc
1% for the Planet is 1% of sales, not profits! That way the environment comes before profit. This video is old and you probably know this already but I wanted to say it just in case :) Source: my company is a member.
You can get the indented lid for kleen kanteen bottle too
Costco sells 2packs of the Takeya brand bottles for $25 (Canadian), which are generally better reviewed than both of these, and some people even buy the Takeya lids for their hydroflask or klean canteen bottles :P
I don't have twitter but, I would love the Klean Kanteen bottles to gift to my mom! because 1. I know she would love it and 2. because she is always buying 1 time use cups for her coffee. Thank You Levi!!
I have a 40oz limited edition for hydroflask and wouldn't change it for the world. I run a lot so I need the water, but I'm looking into getting a Klean Kanteen. (They have cute designs at target)
I chose Klean Kanteen for these reasons too. Great video 👌🏼
The Klean Kanteens have worked for years why switch
Thank you for making this video! I have been wondering about what sets them apart for a while and it’s nice to know that Klean Kanteen is more that just a business.
I still have my red 16oz Klean Kanteen after eight years now and love it just as much. :)
Lately I've felt inspired to turn my life a new way, I haven't long enough to know exactly what I want to do in life, but I don't think i'll ever really know without going out and adventuring. This bottle would be a wonderful thing to carry with me on the never-ending path through adventure and Hardships. Repair is a radical act, and with a well suited bottle that will last me a lifetime, I think it's a perfect companion ;)
Got so much more information out of this video that I ever expected a water bottle comparison to give me. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks Athena!
I’ve had my 20oz Klean Kanteen since 2013. It goes wherever I go.
I can’t even remember the last time I used a plastic disposable water bottle.
I have the Kleen Kanteen growler with the bamboo top cap, which has the same small opening and cap style as the hydroflask in this video. Best of both worlds. I get comments about it all the time because it looks more classy than Hydroflask's designs and because the brand is less well-known where I am.
i don’t have a twitter account but i would definitely use the bottle to store coffee as it gets really cold in the library when i study and coffee would really help wake me up in the morning 🤣
I will use the bottle for hiking and camping time.
I would love to use the bottle for my coffee cravings on my way to school. I think what this company is amazing and I love how they are so environmentally conscious. I try my best to stay as zero waste as possible. I compost, recycle and stop buying so much stuff. But as a student I have found it really difficult to go the next step as I cannot afford good quality items. This mean I have to settle for an inferior dupe which I end up needing to throw away after a couple of years. Overall this bottle will seriously help me on my way to making a positive impact on the world and will help to inspire others.
Ps love your videos!
Keeping a nice warm cup of coffee in my pack while skiing!
I have 4 different size hydro flask bottles (from 10 year old bottle to 2 year old bottle). I use them all for different drinks. No issue and no complaint.
Awesome review! Tiger is another brand that has some quality water bottles. I already have a stainless Starbucks tumbler that I carry, but I'd love to gift this to my boyfriend whom I havent seen for a year! haha He's a doctor in Manchester, UK and this will be a nice surprise gift for him when i come to visit him this January 2019. He is always on the go, driving here and there and i want to share tips and tricks with him to cut his single use cups, especially that he drinks a lot of coffee and tea during his hospital duties. Thanks for the opportunity Levi! :)
I plan on using this bottle for completely cutting down my plastic water bottle use.
Thanks to your videos about Klean Kanteen, I recently bought a couple ones of this brand and Iam super happy with it! Thumbler even 32oz insolated bottle. I hope these ones will stay long with me :)
Klean Kanteen or Hydroflask, they both perform the same in my opinion. I just like hydroflask better because they look better. nothing against klean kanteen, they're good too.
I am a university student, I have had the same beat up and old water bottle I got from Superstore. It has suffered through a lot of falls and has many indents. I continue to use it because it reminds me of myself: a fighter. But it seriously cannot stand on it's own because of the dents at the very bottom. I am all about that hydration because where I live is very dry.
You probably won't see this because it is a month old - anyway. Important PSA from a water chemistry student and environmental lab rat. If coated aluminium bottles (all aluminium bottles are coated) get dents from falling down etc., it creates small cracks and rips in the protective coating. This is no longer a healthy vessel for your daily water intake since the level of aluminium in the water can be much higher than the manufacturer intended. Please keep this in mind - if you are clumsy or have a small child, other materials may be a safer option. The children of my colleagues have stainless steel, glass or tritan bottles. Just a heads up!
Good to know! Thank you for sharing the info.
I love kanteen!!! Love everything they do and I always support and buy their products. We are a Kanteen only family ☺️
I have 2 Klean Kanteens they’re both wide cup and they both leak every now and then, not a lot of water comes out but it seems it gets trapped somewhere. This eventually started annoying me and I switched over to hydro flask. Hydroflask never once leaked.
I plan on using this bottle for water throughout the day. I don’t drink anything else really, besides the occasional beer 😏 Having this bottle will be great in terms of always having cold, refreshing water to drink. One thing I hate about having a plastic bottle is how quickly the water seems to get warm, which is almost impossible to drink. So I turn to other drinks like coffee - which comes in a plastic/paper cup. I want to be more environmentally conscious, and I think this will be a great start.
Klean Kanteen is better. The only con that he mentioned was the inner rim of the bottle top that was indented making it a slightly difficult to clean. To me, the way it’s made, the inner rim actually protects the area where your lips touch and never exposes it to the external environment compared to the other bottle. I’ve had my bottle for over 5 years now and it has been working perfectly. Klean kanteen has replacement rubber gaskets for the bottle so this company is truly dedicated to making sure their bottles are sustainable. They don’t want you to keep buying and replacing bottles but instead make sure that the bottle you already have will last a long time. I bought the stainless steel bottle with the top that can be used as a cup and it’s awesome. It’s so sturdy and keeps things hot or cold for a really long time just like the original. You won’t be disappointed!
I’ve been looking into getting my “go to” water bottle for a while now... I’m notorious for getting a giant pack of plastic water bottles once a month or so when grocery shopping and I’ve been feeling more and more guilt the last few months with how much of a waste and harm to the environment it actually is 😬 It would be awesome to win and cut down on plastic!
Really cool video! Love how you talk about more than the product itself but also the company and their core values.
That’s the goal! Super stoked you got it!
I have a swell bottle I’ve been using for the past four years for everything liquid related, but I’d like to upgrade and support a company that’s not only sells eco friendly products, but makes an effort to support other initiatives as well.
Thanks for the insightful review! I’m planning to buy my first Klean Kanteen this weekend. 💖
I’ve been researching about water bottles because I’ve been wanting to replace my nalgene (BPA-free but still has BPA derivatives). It’s great that klean kanteen is doing all those positive things. Def will support their company! Followed you on insta, but I don’t have Twitter.
I’m trying to get my family to be more healthy and environmentally conscious. I’ve gotten my mother to stop using plastic water bottles and plastic grocery bags. My next step is to go on hikes and camping trips and I would use the bottles when with my family. They are creatures of habit so trying to make them more environmentally friendly will take some effort. I loved the video keep up the great work!
I'm planning on taking these down to Rippers next summer for some Rockaway beach drinking.
Good stuff, Levi. Thanks for sharing
I just reuse wine bottles at home and keep em in the fridge. When I was younger I reuse milk bottles. I do have the white hydroflask whenever I go out when I dropped it, it easily dented. I still use it though.
Hydro Flask also has wide-mouth bottles like the Kleen Kanteen. Also, the bottle you have is 21 oz, not 20.
I plan on using this bottle every single day of college for water and maybe some tea as well when it's chilly outside :)
