Thanks. Your experience backs up mine that it's probably best to buy when you can measure and examine in person. On Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 8:32 PM, Coal Bee Rye Anne < lionsrugbyalu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Actually, I just confirmed what I thought was a 24oz is really a 27oz > non-insulated widemout

Actually, I just confirmed what I thought was a 24oz is really a 27oz non-insulated widemouth Kleen Kanteen that fits the iris cage same as my 20oz insulated HydroFlask. These are the two that have the same interchangeable KK wide caps. The 27oz KK is a little taller so I think the 24oz non-in

I have a few Kleen kanteen as well as hydro flask and they both come in a variety of sizes and wide/narrow mouth openings... but it seems the narrow mouth generally are internally threaded for the cap (exposing the mouth lip to dirt, etc. as previously noted) and the wide mouth have external thr

Wally: you mean that these KKs come in a wide mouth (lid covers mouth) model? I must look for those. Or put more tape on the bottles I did buy. Speaking of horses: reminds me of the little diaper/catch-it bags carriage horses in Kebek City used to wear, and of the line in Red Sky at Morning where

Patrick: The narrow mouth caps are screw in to the tops leaving the outside of the top exposed. It looks like the wide mouth caps cover the outside of the top some, so it should keep any kicked up debris flavoring to a minimum. CHEERS! Wally in Maine On Tuesday, January 16, 2018 at 12:12:07

We get cow cookies and horse hockey pretty commonly round here (several horse barns on the MUP to Woodland Park, open grazing in the National Forest, BLM, etc.) and I just don’t worry about it, save I don’t use the pop-up sport lids, just the screw on lids. I drink so infrequently I don’t need i

Thanks. I must get some Kleen Kanteens -- just bought 2 insulated bottles on Amazon that were advertised as being 2.8" in diameter but turned out to be 2.6 -- too small for a cage. --- Just noticed that tops on your KKs are not covered -- how do you keep dirt off? More important probably around my

Spot on, Wally! I carry my bottles in their cages, open and exposed to all air flow. Doing what you did would have allowed for the 6 hours — and is my plan for future longer excurtions in the nippy. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gro

I’ve used the 12oz insulated in -10°F w/ some windchills. After 4+ hours my tea was still very hot to the tongue. This was also cinched up in a RJF bartender bag which has a thing foam liner. On Monday, January 15, 2018 at 3:57:17 PM UTC-5, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Och! I failed to respond

Och! I failed to respond to your temp. question. You’d asked how long the insulated bottle keeps things hot. Lots of variables, including temp and wind. It cooled down to luke warm after 3 hours of riding on one ride that was 40+ mph winds and 0˚F. I bought two narrow mouth bottles hoping they h

Great photos, as usual; the 2d from the top of Pike's Peak with fog skirts is almost literally heavenly. Your beard rime reminds me of winter running in Quebec City, back when I affected a moustache -- it would ice up after a few minutes, a distinctly odd feeling. Looking more closely at your QB
