Warning! liquid will remain in the cap!

If you ever put this cap in the dishwasher, or submerge in water for a few hours, the water leaks into the cap and has no way to clean it out. They need to recall this cap, as potentially toxic liquid can stay inside the lid, and leaks into your bottle. It is too bad, because otherwise, the wide cap is really easy to open and close.

Love the concept, hate the construction

The stainless steel inner part of the cap separated from the plastic top loop part of the cap, it needs some sort of adhesive to join them together which I might do myself. So don't think you can clip a full 40oz. klean canteen to a carbiner and then to your backpack with one of the Stainless Loop Caps because you will drop the bottle eventually if you are trekking some where or being extreme or intense. Also the worst part is that in order to prevent the bottle from leaking with this cap, you have to tighten the cap so much that the leverage of the threads of the bottle pull the cap apart, very frustrating.

stainless steel or polypropylene?

For some reason, I thought a polypropylene flat cap came standard with the Klean Kanteen water bottle which is why I bought this stainless steel loop cap. I was surprised when my water bottle came with a stainless flat cap. Nevertheless, I like the loop cap better than the flat cap. It is easier to screw on and off and to carry the bottle with. It is too expensive though. Make sure you order it with the bottle at the same time so you don't have to pay for extra shipping.

Do not submerge

I ordered these as replacements to the plastic lids that came with my kanteens. They came with a "Made in China" sticker on them, so I soaked them in the sink to get the stickers off. They wanted to float, so I had to put something on them to hold them down in the water. A couple of hours later (I got distracted!), I picked them up to scrape off the stickers, and what do I hear but sloshing water... the lids had taken in water, but there was no way to open them up and get it out. All I could think was that the soapy water would be slowly leaking into my drinking water. So... it was back to the plastic lids Klean Kanteen Loop Cap/Polypro for us! (BTW, HealthEGoods was very helpful about returning them).

Get this- don't settle for plastic

I decided after getting the Klean Kanteen 27 oz bottle, to switch from a plastic to the s.s. and HIGHLY suggest it. Water tastes super clean and fresh with the s.s. and using a plastic cap where you drink from ruins it. So worth it!
