Vapur Collapsible Water Bottle with Carabiner - 23oz (0.7L), Olive - Flexible and Lightweight Water Bottle for Travel, Concert, Hiking, and Outdoor Adventures - BPA-Free, Dishwasher-Safe, Freezable

I’m basing my review on a 2 weeks of off-roading and light hiking abroad using the bottle. Overall I’d say this is a great bottle. Packs well, and easy to use when needed. Perfect for flights because you fold it in your bag, and after you pass the security checks you can unfold, fill with water and enjoy. Some reviews mentioned the color or outside coating wearing off, mine was heavily used, holds perfectly well. There a few really small issues I have with it. 1. As mentioned in other reviews, if you like your drink cold, forget about it. The contents temperature becomes room temperature in about 10-15 min, regardless if you have it inside the bag, or outside in the sun. 2. I got the 750ml version, and I think it might be a bit small, since the spout feels somewhat large, so you go through the content really quickly. If you have the room in your bag, get the 1L version. 3. Takes a long while to dry after cleaning. These issues don’t really bother me, and I find myself using this on a day to day basis, so I’d say I’m happy with my purchase.

I love this collapsible water bottle! It’s super lightweight and takes up almost no space when empty, making it perfect for travel, hiking, and everyday use. The material feels durable, and the cap seals tightly, so I haven’t had any leaks. The included carabiner is a nice touch for clipping it onto my bag. I used this during TPC Sawgrass Tournament and it was so useful! Plus, the Sea Glass color is beautiful! Highly recommend for anyone who needs a compact and reusable hydration solution.

I purchased this primarily to use during flights. It was easy to store in my carry on, and I filled it at one of the increasingly available water bottle refill stations at the airport. The only issue there was that the refill station functioned with an electric eye, which didn't recognize the Vapur bottle as being in front of it. So I had to "trick" the refill station by placing a finger over the electric eye, forcing the water flow to commence. The bottle doesn't really have much insulation, but I found that the water remained cool enough to drink during my 5 hour flight. I don't know how well it would do on a hike on a warm day, though. And once empty it is easy to roll up and stash away. My wife carries a traditional aluminum water bottle for flights, and while they have their benefits they are not as easily stored. My one issue is that the bottle isn't as easy to dry after use as the manufacturer suggests. Because of the material and design it tends to collapse on itself toward the bottom as water is consumed, so the interior walls of the bottle often touch one another. I recently used it at home and a week later, despite it sitting in an air conditioned room with low humidity, it still has numerous water droplets inside. I'm not usually a germophobe but I have to assume that bacteria is breeding in those droplets. And the suggestion of drying it by turning it upside down is easier said than done. Again, because of its construction and design it tends to topple over when empty and upside down. So you'll likely need to prop it against something and keep it out of any breezes as it tends to topple when exposed to a breeze since it is so lightweight. I keep trying to open the bottom section to keep the interior walls separated but they naturally tend to collapse with time. Perhaps inserting something such as the handle of a long spoon that might help prop it open would help. I haven't tried hanging it by the carabiner yet. It seems sturdy enough but the bottle, when full, has a bit of heft to it, and the only thing I had walking around was belt loops. I feared it would prove to heavy for them. I suspect hooking it to a backpack would be a better match. All in all I am pleased with the bottle and I plan to take it on my next flight to keep hydrated while on the plane. Update 7-22-16 I think I have found a solution to the bottle drying conundrum. Vapur's website suggests leaving the bottle upside down on a drying mat to dry. Well after about a week and a half my bottle still had a good number of small water droplets clinging to the interior sides. I decided that the problem was that these droplets were so small that their weight was insufficient to cause them to drop to the bottom (or actually the top, since it was resting upside down) of the bottle. So when the only way to eliminate those droplets would be through evaporation. But with the bottle upside down that would never happen (they would simply condense again on the bottle's sides and it would be perpetually wet). So I left it upside down for a while until the larger drops had run out, then flipped it back onto its base. I did blow gently into the opening, which caused the bottle to expand. Then I left it sitting upright and within a day the remaining small droplets had evaporated! With that problem solved I am happier still with this purchase. Let's hope it holds up to repeated uses. So far no sign of any damage, but I've only used it a few times, and I haven't frozen it or run it through the top dishwasher rack... Update 11/10/18 - After losing my first of these I purchased a second about 6 months ago. Sadly it began leaking from the cap on the second use. I discovered this the hard way by setting it down on my seat on a plane to stow my carry- on only to find a puddle in the seat a few seconds later! I don't think I'll be buying a third...

I've refilled this multiple times and it’s still going strong. I initially soaked it in water overnight to remove the residual smell, and it has no oder . I love the tight, leak-proof seal and the screw-off top that makes refilling a breeze. Highly recommend! The durability is excellent."

Great for my needs

I got this to use when I ski and it was great, small enough to fit into a jacket pocket and then can fold it up once it's empty. Can throw it in the dishwasher too which is great. But when I went to fill it up the other day I noticed water coming out of the bottom. Under closer investigation it seemed that there was a hole right in the center of the middle where the plastic creases and folds. It was clearly from regular wear and tear vs and object puncturing it. Pretty crap product if a handful of days of regular use cause a hole.

I’m a chronically thirsty adventurer, so whenever I travel with my Vapur bottles, I feel like a genius- and I always have at least one person ask where I got them. They’re basically weightless to carry around and take up no space when empty. The clip makes it easy to put them anywhere which is nice if you don’t have a good spot to set the bottle down when it is full, but it also does stand up on its own when there is liquid inside. You will save more than you spent on it the very first time you fly without having to buy $5-$10 single-use bottles of water. I also really like that when I’m walking around a new city for the day, I can easily fit this inside any purse by just filling it up to the size that the bag will allow and refill as needed. For carrying around all day, this is also a lot easier on the shoulders than a stainless steel bottle would be. If there’s not enough room in your backpack, you can just clip it to any exterior strap. The only real “con” I can think of is that it is not insulated, so if you leave it out on a really hot day, your water will get warm like it would in any plastic bottle. However, I can’t really fault the product for that-I am not sure how well anyone could really insulated a plastic collapsible bottle, especially for the price. Plus, it is BPA free, so it is still safe to drink from even if it gets hot. On super hot hiking days or pool days, I fill it with ice and keep it out of direct sun which works just fine.

My daughter and I both used these on a 10 day trip to France. Her cap started getting moldy towards the end of the trip, but mine was fine. They both washed out well once once we got home. They didn't leak during the trip and my bottle didn't smell and the water tasted fine. Her bottle smelled a little towards the end of the trip. They roll up really small when empty and I was able to put it in my small purse or clip it to my purse strap when we were walking around. This water bottle is great for traveling since it packs up so small, but I wouldn't use it regularly at home since it's not insulated and I'd prefer drinking cold water.

Ideal para los aeropuertos y museos en Europa, solo me terminaba el agua y a la mochila

*** ACTUALIZACIÓN A JUNIO DE 2018*** Sigo usando la botella, y sigue igual que cuando la compré. Es muy muy recomendable y la tengo más que amortizada. La usé para un trekking de 2 semanas, de forma intensiva, y también viene conmigo siempre que viajo, y ya digo que está como nueva. La tapa que se desenrosca es ancha por lo que es muy fácil limpiarla. Tiene mejor calidad de la que me esperaba. Si estás dudando... ¡no dudes más! *** FIN ACTUALIZACIÓN *** Es una buena botella de más de medio litro, para los que solemos beber bastante. No la recomendaría para líquidos calientes porque puede coger olores, pero para agua, refrescos o té frío va perfecto, no deja olor a plástico y puede meterse en la nevera para enfriar. La ventaja que veo es que a medida que la vacias, se va plegando y ocupa menos, así que vas cargando con ella en el bolso o en los pantalones o donde sea, y cuando vas acabando el agua acabas con un rollo que no ocupa nada. También sirve para hacer senderismo de pocas horas y llevarla colgada del mosquetón a alguna trabilla del pantalón, cuando pesa puede resultar incómodo pero al acabarla ni te das cuenta de que está ahí. Otra gran ventaja es que genera menos basura, al reutilizar siempre la misma botella. La recomiendo.

Easily roll up to a small packing size once empty, great idea.

Have found myself using this much more than expected, because it practically disappears when empty and rolled up. Also small enough to make keeping it clean straight forward.

Die Größe ist super praktisch, passt sogar auch in der inneren Taschen meiner Skijacken oder Umhängetaschen.
