The filter does add a little weight to the bottle, and, of course, you do have to change it. One is included with the bottle and a pack of six replacement filters costs $19.50.

When one person is carrying the water for the whole group or you’re camping in the woods and need enough water to last overnight, the Klean Kanteen with a humongous half gallon capacity is the bottle you’ll want.

The Klean Kanteen excels at keeping water cold – after two days, water still tastes like it came right from the fridge. If you fill the bottle with tea, coffee, or cocoa to enjoy at the campfire, you’ll find your beverage stays steamy for about 14 hours. The wide mouth makes it easy to wash the bottle in a stream or you can put it in the dishwasher when you get home.
