The 10 Best Stainless Steel Canteens

No matter how you slice it, it's tough to beat the Hydro Flask Standard Mouth (around $29), which is crafted from high-quality, 18/8 food-grade stainless steel and finished with a powder-coated exterior for an excellent grip. The coating prevents condensation, too.

You surely know the name by now, and this Yeti Rambler 64 Ounce (appx. $50) lives up to the company's reputation for keeping you hydrated while on the go. That's because it features double-wall vacuum insulation as well as an insulated cap that even works well as a carrying handle.

Although many people think of plastic when they hear the brand name, this Nalgene 38 Ounce (appx. $27) is crafted from rugged stainless steel, giving you the quality you're used to in a metal option. It features the same threads as the standard plastic wide mouth.

The Klean Kanteen Classic (appx. $21) has long been a favorite of the busy and thirsty, thanks to a lightweight, single wall design with an electropolished interior that will never cause your beverage to taste metallic. Plus, the sport cap is a cinch to drink from.

Holding just over a quart, or 33 ounces, the Stanley Adventure (appx. $76) is a solid option for casual backpacking, hiking or camping, especially since it comes with an attached shoulder strap for effortless carrying. You can expect it to keep your iced drinks cold for about 3 hours.

Military buffs might appreciate this G.A.K. G.I. Style (around $33), which includes a 1-quart brushed stainless canteen, a butterfly handled cup, and a used surplus G.I. issue cover. For this last item, there are various styles to choose from, including desert camo and olive drab.

The Pathfinder Bottle and Nesting Cup Set (around $42) seems to have been made with the survivalist or prepper in mind, as it isn't too bulky to carry, and the wide mouth is great for collecting water from shallow pools or streams. That makes it no trouble to clean, too.

Okay, so the Keith Ti3060 Mess Kit (around $159) is titanium, not stainless steel, but if you're looking for a blend of ultralight, durable, and non-leaching, this is a strong option to consider. It even arrives with a heavy-duty cover for the ultimate in portability.

For those who tend to lose things, the Mira Cola Shaped (appx. $14) could be a go-to, since it isn't all that pricey and. thus. wouldn't be too hard to replace. Not only that, but it comes in a huge range of colors and cheerful designs, so you can grab several for accessorizing.

If you're looking to lug a lot of water or other beverages, the Swig Savvy 64 Ounce (around $29) is a sizable choice that doesn't have an outsized price tag to match. The neoprene bag is pretty handy, too, giving you the option of shoulder carrying it for when you're on the move.
