Klean Kanteen, Water Bottle
Who are Klean Kanteen
Back in the early 2000s, the popularity of bottled water was on the rise. Suddenly, everyone seemed to be sipping from single-use plastic bottles as they went about their days. At the time, few people understood the human health risks of plastic or could foresee just how many of those plastic bottles would end up littering the planet. Using materials from his local hardware store, Chico-based inventor Robert Seals prototyped the first reusable stainless steel water bottle in the United States. Unlike its European forerunners, Robert’s bottle was free of aluminum and BPA liners, making it safer and more sustainable.
The Rise Water Bottle
Our largest Tumbler yet features a new multi-function lid and a sturdy handle for easy gripping. Sip using the included stainless steel and silicon straw or flip open the lid and drink right from the Tumbler. Features ergonomic contours, fun colours and a world of uses, indoors and out. Insulated tumbler and cup made from certified 90% post-consumer recycled 18/8 stainless steel, with Climate Lock™ insulation for cold drinks, ice water, cocktails, and more. Tumbler fits in most cupholders.
