Vapur Element BPA Free Durable Foldable Flexible Water Bottle with Carabiner

Not a bad product here which I've used on two airplane round trips so far. I bought this to help decrease costs of water when traveling. I travel about 20 weeks a year for business and another couple for personal. As airport bottles of water typically are in the $3 to $4 range, that can get expensive fast. This bottle will supposedly hold about 0.7 liter (about 23 ounces), so a good size, and many airports now have bottle-filling stations to make this easy. It's all non-BPA plastic; out of the box it had a faint plastic smell which dissipated after a good washing at home.The head of the bottle opens somewhat easily, but you'll want to use both hands when it's full or close to it. Same when closing. Closing provides a solid snap so you know when it's really closed tight. The underside of the lid has what appears to be a silicon rubber seal; flexible but providing a good seal when closed. The drinking port is 1/2 inch in diameter: large enough to add water from a fountain, and large enough to overcome your mouth and spill over onto clothing if you're not careful. The entire head assembly screws off for cleaning or to add water or ice cubes; the mouth opening there is 1-1/8 inch. The entire threaded assembly on the bag appears to be solidly welded in place as do the welded seams of the bag itself. A plastic caribiner-type clip is solidly attached to the head to let you clip the bottle onto your backpack or carry-on bag. The clip opening is 7/8 inch, enough to get it clipped onto a bag handle or a molly-bag strip.When screwed in, the head aligns side-to side to allow for folding up the bottle. Simply roll the empty bag up from the bottom, then pivot the clip down to capture the rolled bottle. When rolled up, this guy is 5 inches wide by 3 inches high and easily slips into a side pocket of my carry-on bag.When filled with water, the bottle is flexible and usually take two hands to drink without spilling. So far I've had no leakage. After the initial washing, I filled it up and left it upside down overnight with nothing leaking. It's had some bumps against it while full and also no leakage. Overall, a good purchase so far.Only con: as noted above, it's not too easy drinking one-handed with this like you can with a solid bottle, but I don't mind that against the convenience factor.

My boyfriend has this bottle in green, and he makes fun of me because his is rolled into a tight little tube as he schleps it to work and back every day, while I've had mine for a year or something now and have only folded it once. It's so pretty! I don't want it to be wrinkly!But that's the point - it holds up to the abuse of my boyfriend and he's had one longer than I have!I drink so much more water with this thing. I take it with me everywhere, tucked in my purse, and it's completely leak-proof (except for the one time when I washed it and the rubber seal shifted. Don't do that.) If you're someone (like my dad, per his recent comments) who manhandles things in a Hulk-like way, and can't remember to grab this bottle with a bit more of a delicate sensibility, you will inevitably spout a fountain and spill water all over yourself. Sucks to be you, 'cause this bottle is awesome.

I've bought three of these. I love them, but they just don't last. Two of them have failed with a crack on the seam, the most recent of which failed just 10 months after I bought it. (The other one failed because raccoons decided to play with it, and stabbed multiple holes in the sides, but that's no fault of Vapur.) Also, the rubber plug in the cap forms a black residue over time; I contacted Vapur and they said it was harmless, and offered to send a replacement cap...but I declined. They do have a one-year warranty, but you have to send the old bottle to them (at your cost), and then they'll only send you a replacement if they deem it to be covered under the warranty, which excludes "normal wear" and "natural breakdown of materials over a prolonged period"...so it seems not worth the risk of wasting money to send the bottle back to them since it only costs $13 to buy a new one anyway.

Used it at Disneyland for 3 days. It was perfect. I searced reviews on similar items and chose this because of a reviewer who stated there was no bad taste from the bottle. Absolutely true!!Pros- flip top lid --won't get lost When empty folds really small, fit in my small purse NO BAD TASTE, and no BPA Holds a LOT if you choose Stands on it's own and clips easily to whateverCon-The only thing I didn't like are the bottom corners. Just a little sharp, need to be rounded off a bit.Overall- would totally reccommend!

They are nice bottles in that they fit the Sawyer filter system and they are collapsible and light. Unfortunately, they leak from the cap when not upright. I contacted Amazon about the leak and they sent me a new one no problem. But the new one leaks too. I'm done with getting replacements. I will buy other collapsible bottles that don't leak. I mean, when you put them in a pack the odd are they won't stay upright completely. So useless in a backpack or bag. Fine if you will always have it upright.
