Klean Kanteen Sports 2.0 Cap
In-house product testing from the team at Shop Naturally has shown that the Klean Kanteen Sports 2.0 cap has THE best water flow out of any of the sports caps in their range. Considering they have the widest range of water bottles for sale online in Australia, this is a pretty good review.
If rapid water flow is important to you in a sports cap, they recommend the Klean Kanteen Drink Bottles before any others in their range.
The Klean Kanteen Sports 2.0 cap is advertised as having 3x the water flow of their original lid. There is a tiny silicone valve in the lid that allows for increased air flow in the lid. While most other lids have the air flow in the actual mouth piece (which means that with some of the lesser quality lids, you are sucking up a little bit of air as you drink), this lid does not. The only down side is that these Sports 2.0 caps are not leak-proof. If you let one roll around a sports bag and the silicone seal is nudged, they will leak a little.
For transport, they recommend a screw cap, either the standard BPA free polypropylene screw cap or a klean kanteen stainless steel flat cap (available to be purchased seperately). You can quickly and easily switch out the lid when you’re about to start your exercise.

We found this really interesting article written by the Environmental Working Group in relation to BPA found in baby formula and baby bottles.
Leading brands of baby formula are being sold in cans lined with BPA, which is a little frightening. A lot of canned food you buy at the supermarket in general also contains BPA in the canned linings.
“The chemical is bisphenol A, or BPA, a component of the plastic epoxy resins used to line metal food cans. Dozens of laboratory studies show that BPA affects the developing brain and reproductive systems of animals exposed to low doses during pregnancy and early life. BPA has recently raised concerns from 2 separate expert panels of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with 1 group of scientists warning that human exposures to BPA are already at or above the levels that harm animals and another expressing concern about impacts of BPA on infants’ brains and behavior.”

Buy a re-usable water bottle
I heard the most ridiculous story on ABC today, a ‘cheapie’ shop in Moss Vale (just around the corner from Bundanoon, the first town in the world to ban the sale of bottled water), there’s a shop selling bottled water for 65 cents, and it comes from Malaysia.
Now let’s get this straight. Malaysia is a country where Australians are warned NOT to drink the tap water. The plastic bottles are made (which uses several litres of water itself), the water is put in the bottles. It is then transported to docks where it’s loaded on to a ship, transported to Australia, then put in a truck and driven to Moss Vale, where it’s sold in a shop that has to pay wages, insurance, electricity etc, all for the price of 65 cents.
Has the world gone crazy? If you must buy bottled water for convenience, please buy it from a company who hasn’t shipped it half way around the world first. This is just a revolting attack on our planet.
Buy a re-usable water bottle and fill it up at home.
(Please note: this is not an attack on Malaysia, it’s an attack on the bottled water industry. Having fancy French & Italian still water shipped from the other side of the world is just as bad)
