What is your experience with insulated/uninsulated Klean Kanteen bottles. Has anyone used the insulated as a camping mug? Used the single-walled one as your water boiling pot? Carried a 40 or 64 oz one in the velcro on/Irish strap secured cage manner?
More details: I am now converting to using Klean Kanteen bottles (from the “glass” lined things Specialized makes) after 2/3rd of my bottles popped out of my standard cages last fall and I need to replace then anyway, as well as hearing the reports from folks here of how much better Iris cages hold bottles on trails, washboard, etc. Between insulated and single-walled, and the larger bottles there seem to be some great options for various uses., I’m thinking: (1) insulated 20 oz. bottle: mostly to help keep things cool in summer (I drink very little when it’s below freezing, and so seldom that it would be frozen anyway on a longer ride, without being inside my jacket. Also as my coffee/tea mug when bikepacking. (2) uninsulated 28 oz. bottle: for daily ride increased volume of capacity, and for boiling water over the firebox when bikepacking. (1) uninsulated 40 or 64 oz. with velcro on cage using Irish straps to secure it for bikepacking and extra water capacity. Suggestions on wear to strap this beastie? On the Hunqapillar, this gives me up to 76 oz. for daily rides, 140 oz. capacity for bikepacking (plus a 100 oz bladder if needed, but it’s hard to use and tastes plasticy.) Thoughts, suggestions?
