Many accessories are available for Klean Kanteens. All caps and lids are interchangable with all sizes of Klean Kanteens and we only use non-leaching Polypropylene #5 (PP#5) in our caps and lids. Both the loop and flat caps have stainless steel bases to prevent plastic from coming in contact with your beverage.

Klean Kanteen top
»
I bought this to replace the sport top. A club in my golf bag knocked the top off (the sippy part). I think this top is also more sanitary

Stainless Caps retain fluid and RUST!
»
I oredered this cap as an alternate cap to use with the sport cap on my 40oz bottle. Both were ordered from Amazon.
First, the new SS caps are not the same design as the original (on a KK bottle I bought that came with SS flat cap 2 years ago) the knurled edges only go around a portion of the cap and they are not as high in relief, this makes the cap a bit harder to get off, this is just a nitpick. BUT...
The real problem with this cap is what others have mentioned, water leaks inside the cap (between the plastic and SS threaded portion. I read the reviews and decided in advance I would not submerge this new cap. I washed by hand, filled my bottle a left for work. When I got there, I noticed that some of the water I had put in the bottle was now stuck in the cap, I stress that this was liquid from my beverage (water). I don't feel this cap is safe to use, and completely unacceptable - if you fill your KK with different fluids, such as juice, do you really want this liquid staying in the cap to age/spoil and then possibly re-entering the bottle.
The SS flat caps (at least this version from amazon) are a waste of money. I can't say it is the caps fault, but I also noticed rust on the thread of both the bottle and cap - it could have occurred on either one and then transferred to the other so I can't tell which is to blame. Again this was on the first day of using the bottle and cap. My two other KK bottles, one with SS Flat cap (older design) and a newer one with PP loop cap both have never had any problems. KK needs a new design for the SS caps - I would not buy these until this issue has been fixed.

Love it!

Quick twist off, easy to carry and clean. Sport's Top has more twisty grove things and requires a few more twists to remove. Prefer this one. And less plastic.

Broken in Two Days
»
The metal part of the cap disconnected from the plastic top within days of purchase. This break revealed a huge hollow place where other reviewers mentioned old water collecting. After much fiddling, I could not put the two pieces back together. Now the only way to keep water in the bottle is to place the plastic ring around the sharp edge of the metal piece of the cap and screw it down. So very sad.

Water leaked in!
»
I ordered this product directly from Klean Kanteen. After a couple months of use, I noted water in the cap. I tossed all of them (4)and replaced them with the plastic ones which came with the bottles originally. Defeats the purpose (of choosing steel over plastic) but we like the loop on top for a carabiner and I am concerned about water remaining in the lid. Have emailed Klean Kanteen directly...twice...no response.
Otherwise love the bottles!
