 Great Cap! Absolutely love it! July 26, 2010
Courtney Dietzmann (MN)
I use this D-Ring cap on my 16oz Insulated Kleen Kanteen, and I love it! (If you don't have an INSULATED Kleen Kanteen, I highly recommend you get one)
The Ring --
The ring lays flat, which I like because it makes the bottle less bulky. The ring seems to be quite durable, though I haven't tried attaching it to my backpack with a carabiner when hiking. I do, however, carry it by the ring wherever I go. I have small hands, so the ring just makes it easier for me.
Cap --
I read others' reviews about the cap leaking within itself - meaning that, fluid may reside around the mouth/opening of the bottle, but doesn't actually leak out. Frankly, I don't see this as an issue. If you drink out of the bottle, don't wipe off the mouth piece, and screw the cap on, I'd expect that fluid to remain on the mouthpiece. As long as it's not leaking out of the bottle, and not leaking into some inaccessible piece of the cap, then I'm content.
Washing... Obviously you shouldn't dishwash something that's part metal and part plastic. Plastic can shrink with heat, metal will expand with heat... It's just not a good idea in general. I never dishwash my bottles. If you're like me and might leave a bottle floating around in your car for a few days, after you've had juice in it, you can clean it out using vinegar water (also works for hot chocolate that has been 'growing' in your bottle for a few weeks). :-)
 Poor quality June 10, 2010

The seals on the first two caps we purchased broke after a few months. After reviewing the Klean Kanteen website we figured it was our own fault for putting them in the dishwasher. So we purchased two more replacements and after only 5-6 handwashings the new ones are falling apart as well. I am definitely not impressed with the quality of this product. The price in my opinion is high for a poor quality imported product that we are sorry we ever bought.
 Great buy June 5, 2010

I love this cap. This cap is flatter the the one that comes with the bottle which makes it easier to store in bags. The only draw back is that the D-ring is kind of loose so it makes loud clanking sounds while jostled in my purse. But the fact that it's secure allows me to over look that.
I love this cap!! May 24, 2010

I haven't had any problems with this cap and my 16 oz. insulated Klean Kanteen. I do always do a test "shake" after I've filled the bottle and put the cap on, just to make sure that it won't leak in my leather purse. I use this cap primarily for the transport of the bottle from home to work and then back home again. When I am at work, I use the cafe cap (that way I don't have to take the cap off to drink). If you haven't tried the insulated version of the Klean Kanteen, it is AWESOME! I can put ice in it at noon and there's still ice floating the next morning.
Works, looks cool, but it's heavy and it rattles May 18, 2010

UPDATE #2: when I contacted Klean Kanteen about my leaky cap, they quickly dispatched a replacement. The new one does not leak, and now I can see where the gasket was missing on my original Flip D-Ring cap. Still, it gets 3 stars. It is well made but it's just too heavy for a sports bottle (much heavier than the standard cap), it still rattles, and the price is too high for the value.
UPDATE #1: I original gave this one star because it leaked on my insulated Klean Kanteen. I wrote to Klean Kanteen, and they immediately sent a new one, with no hassles of any kind. I'm still waiting to get it, but for now have raised the rating to 3 stars, thanks to their excellent customer care.
----------------
First let me say I *love* Klean Kanteen water bottles, especially the new wide mouth and insulated ones. Our family owns about 6 different Klean Kanteen bottles, and they've traveled literally around the world with us.
I paid extra for this lid because I liked how the d-ring folded down and thought it'd be a nice sturdy way to attach it to things, but this is the first Klean Kanteen product I have thought about returning.
* When I carry the bottle on my bike, this lid rattles like crazy. The standard loop cap does not.
* Minor issue, but this cap (2.5 oz) is heavier than the standard loop cap (1.625 oz).
* Worst of all, this cap leaks constantly when I put it on my 18 oz. insulated Klean Kanteen. They claim the lids are interchangeable, and why wouldn't they be?
I'll keep all my other Klean Kanteen products, but I'm disappointed in this one.
By the way, the standard loop cap on the wide mouth Klean Kanteens *is* stainless on the inside.
PS - Klean Kanteen, if you're listening, I'd *love* to see a sports (drinking spout) lid for the wide-mouth bottles.
