Vapur Collapsible Water Bottle with Carabiner, 34oz (1L), Blackout

I bought the 34oz, Water Blue version. The top unscrews to make filling easy, however I was unable to get anywhere close to 34oz into the bottle. The nearest I managed was 28oz and even that amount was only achieved by coaxing the plastic to open wider - previously the most I could manage was 26oz. So that was a disappointment. The plastic carabiner looks flimsy, however it does have some flex so perhaps it will survive. I'm away to Portugal and Azores for 3 months so I will get to fully test the bottle's endurance. Yes, it does stand upright once filled. It does not appear to leak. The water in the bottle did not smell or taste of plastic after an overnight stay in the fridge. The plastic construction material does not inspire confidence. Again, only time will tell. I found the video review I watched to be amusing if only because it dodged the obvious questions such as capacity or durability. I will update this review after I return home from Europe. ------------------------ Okay, back from Europe. We visited Britain, Portugal and the Azores. Trip duration was 66 days. We hiked approximately two out of every three days, made trips to the beach, and relied on these two plastic bottles for water. So then, some observations: After a few uses, the bottles held the prescribed amount of water - I guess the plastic relaxed somewhat. Anyhow, by the end of the 3rd we were filling to 34oz. What about durability? We made eight flights and when not in use the bottles were scrunched up as shown in the product description. Whenever we were between apartments, one of the bottles was filled with water and frozen in order to protect certain medicines. Despite the abuse neither bottle failed or leaked. Outstanding! The top fitting unscrews which makes filling (and draining) very fast. Reading some of the comments, I wonder if everyone realized this? Anyhow the o-ring seal held up perfectly, as did the carabiner loop which I thought at the outset looked rather flimsy. I think the key to 'not breaking' was the plastic itself - flexible rather than rigid and brittle. I did not try and hang a 34oz bottle off my belt, but other occasional uses did not stretch or break the carabiner. I did NOT attempt to store fluids other than water. I think this is important to note because sticky, sweet fluids, soup etc., would be a problem when it came to cleaning. Common sense should apply here - these are primarily water bottles... for water! If you do use them for something else, be sure to flush them immediately after use and maybe consider a solution of bicarbonate of soda (or lemon juice) to suppress growths of any kind. Even in the Algarve (coastal) the bottles dried out if you unscrewed the tops, so no issues to report and the bottles remained healthy throughout the trip. Looking at the bottles now we are home. They've obvious seen 'some use' and cannot last forever (unlike my REI bottles which I've owned for 20+ years.) Functionally they are not a 100% replacement for proper camping bottles, but they are incredibly versatile, light-weight, and in our experience completely durable. I expect to use them on several long trips before I need to consider retiring them. Conclusion. I've revised my opinion of these water bottles and upgraded from 3 starts to 5. These are now my primary go-to water bottles for day hiking and extended overseas trips.

I took this water bottle on a 2-week trip around Peru and it was PERFECT! Very lightweight and compact, so I could carry it around in my purse and fill it up whenever we found potable water. The neck is also big enough that you can use a steri-pen in it to sterilize the water, which is great for camping, 3rd world countries, etc. I never had any trouble with leaking (as long as I screwed the top on tightly - you do have to make sure it's on pretty tight), the sipper mouth was a great size and easy to keep clean, it was easy to fill, stands up nicely on a table or whatnot, you can squeeze the air out when it's partially full and it magically becomes a half-size water bottle... it was wonderful in every way! We had no taste or smell issues, and it even seemed somehow resistant to the mildewy funk that often besets my Nalgene bottles if I don't empty and clean them frequently. I bought the 1L size, which was perfect for my needs - big enough to keep me hydrated when I was running around during the day, small enough to not be heavy, bulky, or hard to carry. And again, easy to refill (even in the back of a bus going along bumpy dirt roads and around cliffside hairpin turns!). Everyone else on my trip was jealous of my Vapur and wished they'd bought one too! My only complaint is I very clearly ordered the blue color, and got sent a black one instead. I didn't have time to return it before my trip, so I just used it anyway, but you shouldn't offer color options if you're not going to honor them... grumble, grumble. In conclusion: buy this water bottle, and do it far enough in advance of your needs that you can return it if they don't send you the color you want ;)

The capacity is great. It folds up nicely. Sadly, the plastic bag separated from the spout after a year and now it leaks. I contacted the company and got a prompt response. They send me a new water bottle.

Absolute favorite “bottle” to drink water from. Great for traveling since I can collapse until I get through security, then I can fill it up. Have purchased a couple, will purchase more.

**Update** Been using mine every time I leave the house, for work, school, or other, it's been 18 months and only now has it started to leak. I really liked this bottle, I rarely cleaned it, as I only used water, and it would get slightly musty smelling if I left it in the sun, but I honestly washed it maybe 6-7 times in 18 months! Also, I've stepped on this several times, by accident, and I only weigh about 110lb, but still! My stepping on it didn't cause the leak though, just noticed it around where the cap meets the plastic of the bag. wish I knew how to recycle it. -adult child Bought one for each of us for Christmas. Adult children LOVE them and use each day. I use mine only when I want water (no ice or flavoring) and am out and about shopping, hiking, etc. I'd seen a co worker with one and she loved hers, highly recommended them. At work I want to add half ice to my water so I used a covered cup. The opening would also make it a little harder to refill using the water cooler dispensers. I'd have to put the opening right up around the flow valves from those machines and I am not confident with our cleaning crews attention to hygiene. (Somehow I think if there is more air space then my drink won't get contaminated--could just be me.) When shopping though, or WHEN I CAN'T FILL IT FROM HOME, then it's great--my go to bottle, use it 1-2x per week. Wonderful for air travel because you can just collapse it into your bag or pocket. My kids love it, use it at their work places, school, work. They fill them up, partially freeze, even use them at home instead of the endless barrage of cups. They like to use them at home because the house cat considers any open container an invitation for her to have a sip. I would have liked to purchase different colors. We put our initials on ours with a permanent marker. I thought I was ordering different colors, was amazed at the change in price. So, out of all of the reusable containers we have purchased and used over the years, this seems to be the best water container.

Update: my 5 yo bottle broke, and I ordered a new one in Fall 2020. The new one leaked on the first use. Not sure if something has changed in the production in the last 5 years. Based on all the other reviews, this doesn’t appear to be uncommon. I will not be ordering a new Vapur and instead will find another brand. I’m very sad that I’ll be needing to find a new water bottle. Original post: I've had my 1L vapur water bottle for 5 years now. It remains my favorite water bottle. This water bottle is great for travel. I love to travel and usually take water bottles with me as I'm strolling through cities and running through airports. It weighs next to nothing and takes up so little space when empty that I always have room for it in my purse. It rolls up very easily and also stands up easily too. You don't need to worry about it falling over. It's never leaked (but continue below). Because the bag is flexible, it doesn't need to intake air as you drink water which prevents the "glug" when you drink. As a result, the water flows out faster, and I actually have found that I drink substantially more water when using this water bottle as compared with my nalgene. Like a bong built into a water bottle (lol), which is awesome when you're trying to stay hydrated. On the other side, it's not easily cleanable. Don't get me wrong, this wouldn't prevent me from buying another, but it's worth mentioning. After each use, I make sure to flip it upside down with the top screwed off to ensure as much air flow as possible to dry it out. After many uses, I do usually need to soak the cap in bleach overnight, but most of my other water bottles require this as well. I've never tried putting it in the dishwasher. The other thing that is disappointing is that the seams on the sides tend to crease and rip if you're rolling it too tightly. This is what's caused me to purchase 2 of these bottles. Eventually, I learned that you can't roll the bottle up and use the clip at the top to hold it together- this will eventually wear it out. However, I've had duct tape hold my bottle together for the last 4 years, and it doesn't concern me one bit! Even with my two concerns, this is still my favorite water bottle. I highly recommend it for anyone trying to increase their water intake or avid travelers!

I'm a minimalist and been looking for a bottle which is portable and can hold a descent amount of water. This bottle fits the bill perfectly. At first, I was skeptical based on the design. A hard plastic bag, really? I kept looking at the silicone roll up bottles and even bought the Aquabod, which leaked by the way. Here are the things I like about this bottle: 1. It rolls up to be REALLY compact. The plastic "bag" I was so concerned about, turned out to be its most endearing feature. The attached carabiner on the spout acts as a nice clip to hold the rolled up bag in place. I can easily empty all the water out of the bag, roll it up and chuck it in my bag before going through airport security (remember, no liquids allowed). On the other side, I would unroll it and fill it up at the water fountain before boarding the plane. 2. The spout and carabiner design is well done. The spout is not the type which you have to squeeze water out. Once opened, you can pour the water freely into your mouth. No need to suck or squeeze the bottle for water. The cap closes securely without allowing water to leak out. Carabiner is nice because it allowed me to clip to the front of my backpack so I have easy access to the water during the walking portions of my trip. Also, the clip allowed me to hang it on the back seat in front of me on the airplane rather nicely ... and out of the way due to the bottle being more oval in shape, when filled, than round. 3. It's LIGHT. Compared to the Aquabod, the weight is unnoticeable when empty. Overall a well designed and manufactured product. It's made in the US. If I had to give it a con, I would say that when filling it at a water fountain, the bag would bend/wrinkle since you have to turn it slightly side ways to catch the water in the fountain. But this con is also its pro since this is what it was constructed to be, a flexible/collapsible water bottle. Filling it on my cruise trip was no problem since they had pitchers of water available, so having it standing up while filling was a breeze. Tip: Before filling it with water, take off the cap (of course), and blow into the bottle to fully expand it. That way you will ensure that you fill the bottle to its fullest potential.

I often take a sling bag out and have a 24oz steel water bottle in it. Obviously it takes up a lot space and if I’m done with the water, that space can’t be reclaimed. This water bottle has more capacity in about the same size and when the water lessens, so does the space it takes up. The material is super durable and it actually does stand up when filled and even drinking it down to empty. Then you can just roll it up when you’re done. The cap is nice tight and I haven’t experienced any leaks. The flip up cap clicks in tight and is still easy to pop up when drinking. It’s easy to drink from, just like a sport bottle. No weird smell or taste either. Highly recommend this.

De momento muy bien, porque el agua sabe a agua, no a plasticos. He leído opiniones que dicen que termina teniendo fugas, pero de momento va muy bien. Eso sí, me parece un poco cara (16,58€) Por lo demás, se bebe muy bien de ella, se mantiene de pie, aunque esto da igual porque como es estanca da igual que esté de pie o tumbada.

プラティパスを使っていたが、蓋が崖下に落ちて難儀したので 蓋を外さないタイプを物色して購入。 カラビナ部は、オマケかと思ったら、これが何気に便利だった。 持ち運ぶ時や、落とさない様にザックに付けたりと重宝してる。 ただ、まだ数回しか使ってないので耐久性は分からないです。

Sarebbe stata fantastica, se non si fosse bucata vicino alla chiusura del tappo dopo solo un mese di utilizzo. Tra l'altro, l'ho sempre tenuta da sola nella tasca dedicata alla sacca idrica dello zaino, quindi senza che potesse entrare in contatto con altri oggetti. Ne avevo comprata anche un'altra per il mio compagno e devo dire che per ora la sua sta reggendo. Come borraccia sarebbe fantastica, perché nello zaino da bici, a differenza delle borracce rigide, non fa male alla schiena. Inoltre, a differenza di tutte le sacche idriche che abbia mai provato, fa sì che l'acqua non sappia di plastica.

Great water bottle. Shipping was on time.

7 star quality one of the best purchases on Amazon. Build design functionality truly excellent.
