OK, long shot, but has anybody got an old water bottle laying around with a cap like this? I broke the cap on a very nice double wall water bottle. I’d like to keep the bottle if I can. The threaded area is about 4 cm outside diameter, and it appears to be about 3 tpi (threads per inch). Thread thickness is about 2 mm. The depth of the threaded area is about 3 cm although anything close would work; it’s the outside diameter and thread that matters. Anyway, if you’ve got such a bottle with such a cap laying about (and would be willing to part with it), please send me a PM. HJ Adventures in Stoving Hikin Jim’s Blog

Looks like my Klean Kanteen top. Hollow inside. If that's what it is, (I don't really have anything handy to measure the one I have), you can have it and the mini stainless bottle its screwed into for shipping. Are you coming to the GGG?

It looks like, based on what others have been telling me, that this is a fairly standard thread. Hydroflask appears to have the same threads as well. I’m going to head to REI this weekend and see if HydroFlask or KleenKanteen’s caps fit my bottle. Doug: I am hoping to make it to GGG this year. A bit depends on exactly when my current contract ends — and what else comes along. Tough to walk away from money toward the end of a contract not knowing when any more money is going to come in. Ken: What are the dates again for the GGG? And is it at Coe again? Sorry. Pretty elementary questions, but I haven’t been around much. Working full time, looking for work, and trying to read up on various technologies (stuff moves FAST these days) to be more employable takes a lot of time. HJ Adventures in Stoving Hikin Jim’s Blog

Jon, That looks like a dead ringer for what I've got. Are those spare caps or do you need them for bottles you use? If it's a spare, maybe I could talk you out of one? HJ
