Stainless steel bottles

[Jared]

Just found these, Mudpuppy bottles, that basically seem to sell Klean Kanteen clones or something, in the UK..

£7.50 for a 350ml bottle to £11.49 for a litre.

Ive been looking for stainless bottles for a while now, cheers.

I think I saw some Tatonka ones at Tamarack last weekend - Might be worth a phone call Addo, especially with 15% off for Full Membership of BcUK.

Do they tatonka bottles use the same lid and seal as sigg bottles?

Several people I know are getting Guyot bottles. I think Nalgene just bought them out.

The mouth is the same size as a one liter Nalgene bottle. I reccomend the bigger 38 oz Standard size. It will fit into the Nalgene bottle holders, insulated or not.

The hot setup is to get a Maxpedition bottle holder. I don't think our U.S. forum allows links or I would post them. There are some good postings on the utility of these bottles and that holder. Some even boil water in theirs!

As you see the holder is something else. I'm putting to a kit together around that bottle. Various cups and pots also fit over the bottle inside the case. I have a GSI cup and Snowpeak titanium pot with cup in mine. 3 cooking utensils! I have 2 Aqua Mira Cholorine Dioxide bottles under the bottle in the holder also. Oh yeah, here's the bottle.

Nalgene website says they won't be supplying stainless bottles until Jan 2009. See http://www.nalgenechoice.com/stainless.html

Think they've just licensed the design, rather than bought Guyot.

Problem with Guyot is no one seems to sell the bottles over here in the UK. Only their Firefly.

The two larger bottles do, the small bottle has a smaller cap though.

I use these and they're very good IMHO.

I apreciate the info. I will check with the people in Texas I buy from about their supply. They have had supply problems in the past. If you guys can find them, you'll apreciate the wide mouth. We have Clean Kanteens everywhere here and even 1 liter steel bottles, the same diameter as the smaller bike bottles.

If you are really into ultralight, check out the stainless bottles from Starbucks. They are the lightest I've seen.

I purchased the stainless steel bottle from Wiggy's, in Alaska. I like this much better than the Guyot, because the whole bottle can be put into the fire, since there are no plastic or nylon parts on it. You can also buy the nesting cup and a pouch that it all fits into. I did not buy the pouch, making my own instead.

At the risk of sounding daft ,apart from the material and sizes what are the advantages of stainless over aluminium?

 

[bushtuckerman]

I should have thought before I bought. I have a litre size sigg bottle and it's great, but stainless steel would have been better I think, no inner coatings to crack (they claim that when the aluminium is dented it still won't crack, but who knows what's in the coating...)

Think there some problem with fruit acids and the like with bare aluminium, thats why SIGG bottles have a liner.

And can not boil anything in a SIGG bottle, so they (SIGG) say. Whereas could in a stainless, no problem.

 

[sapper1]

Fair comment but all mine are used for is carrying cold water ,so I assume there is no advantage forme by changing to stainless.

My 2 bottles arrived very quickly, very well packaged.
very pleased with them, they are identical to the Klean Kanteens I have seen in the USA, only the logos are different.

Have been using them at work all week instead of 2 old plastic sports bottles and I think they are fantastic, wish I had changed to them a lot sooner.

Will get some photo's up soon

Just put some boiling water from the kettle into the mudpuppy bottles, and the logo/print came off (rubbed off) the bottle.
