Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight for its size
From maker's figures 1/10How much it adds to your pack for the water it holds. 1: A real weak point.
Klean Kanteen lists 394.5 g for 473 ml on its UK and US pages (rounded to 395 g here): 834 g per litre, over 500 g/L. Absolute Snow lists 394 g, Babipur 395 g and Heinnie 415 g (shop figures).
Packed size (empty)
From maker's figures 1/10How much room it takes up when it is empty, for the water it holds. 1: A real weak point.
A rigid bottle does not shrink, so we draw it as a cylinder from its height and width. Klean Kanteen gives 219.7 mm tall and 76.2 mm across: 3.1416 x 3.81 x 3.81 x 21.97 = 1,002 cm³, so 1.00 L empty for 0.473 L held (2.12 per litre), in band 1 (1.8 and over).
In short
Good for
- Day walks and camp mornings where one 473 ml insulated bottle serves for tea, coffee or water
- Anyone who wants a bottle with a carry loop that takes apart for cleaning
- Cold drinks on hot days: Klean Kanteen quotes 47 hours iced
Strengths
- Klean Kanteen quotes 14 hours hot and 47 hours iced (its UK page gives no test conditions)
- Café Cap comes fully apart for cleaning and has a swivel carry loop
- Wide 66 mm opening takes ice and brushes
- 18/8 stainless steel with no plastic in the bottle itself, and a chip-resistant powder coat
- Lifetime guarantee (Klean Kanteen)
- Hands-on reviewers report no dents; scuffs only in the powder coat
Weaknesses
- 395 g for 473 ml: 834 g per litre, in the heaviest weight band
- About 1.0 L of pack room for 0.473 L of drink
- Twist-and-loop cap is fussy for some users, and must be turned fully shut to be leak-proof
- Pack Hacker placed the 473 ml TKWide last for temperature in its insulated-bottle roundup (Twist Cap version, two weeks)
- Absolute Snow shows an older 11-hour hot and 38-hour iced figure; Klean Kanteen now quotes 14 and 47
