Water to take along

Klean Kanteen Wide bottle family

A bottle family to consider when choosing the capacity and shape you want to carry on a daytime outing.

Family search, not an exact photo match. The 2017 bottle has an old fixed-loop cap and unknown capacity; Wide is inferred from shape. Results also include Classic and other models. Check Wide, capacity and cap. The current 40 oz reference uses a swivel loop.

Search results: check the model, size and seller.

Details & buying notes
  • The current US Wide family page lists several bottle capacities.
  • The current 40 oz reference describes a swivel-loop cap.
  • The pictured 2017 silver bottle’s exact model and capacity are unverified; Wide-family identification is inferred from its shape.
  • Keep your current bottle if its size and cap already suit your routine.

Research-based recommendations. Our approach.

A book for the gate

Download your next chapter before you leave home. The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite has a 7-inch glare-free screen. If a paperback or your phone already travels well, pack that instead.

The linked Kindle is the black 16 GB model with lockscreen ads. The guide also links to the same model at Best Buy so you can check availability in your area.

A bottle that fits the bag

Refill a bottle at the airport and keep it beside your book while you wait. If you already carry one that fits your bag, you have what you need.

The older steel Klean Kanteen pictured has a fixed-loop cap. The Amazon link shows a range of bottles. Compare the current Wide models by height, capacity and cap before choosing one for your carry-on.
