I bought a Kleen canteen recently, but I switched the cap because it is a hard molded loop for carrying. It takes up unnecessary space, and it doesn’t allow me to put stuff on top of the bottle. And, I’m very fond of the Pathfinder logo.

Bottle cap
The original cap I received with the bottle had no rubber o ring so the bottle leaked. However, the replacement cap I received had the o ring and works flawless.
