The Vapur Eclipse Water Bottle is great for what it is—an ultra compressible water bottle that is optimized for travel. It just may be the water bottle of our dreams.

Not that we dream about travel water bottles… That’d be weird. We definitely do not do that, just to be clear. We have, however, been testing this Vapur Eclipse Water Bottle for over a year, and we’ve been thoroughly enjoying it.

So far, this bottle has held up with no leaks or functionality issues. It does have a lot of aesthetic dings and scratches, and the matte coating has pretty much been scraped entirely off. However, it's still working like a charm—even though it might not look the greatest.

The Vapur Eclipse water bottle is great for what it is—a self-compressing, highly portable water bottle that you can use in a pinch. Although it doesn’t keep your water very cool and the filter obstructs the compressibility, we think these are minor cons compared to the amazing benefit of having a liter of water at your fingertips. Plus, it helps you save money and protect the environment by avoiding those single-use airport water bottles.

I’ve had this water bottle for 3 years and it’s still going strong, admittedly I didn’t really use it the first year. But I love it

[patricklerigolleur]

I've been using the one liter version for more than two years now without any problem :-)

Hi Packhacker, thank you so much for reviewing this! I've been considering buying the Vapur for a while now.
Great review! Just wondering would the opening be able to fit ice cubes?

[sleddy]

It takes serious dedication to test the endurance of a water bottle for more than a year. Or at all, for that matter.

[michaelsellers]

Yes! I need this staying hydrated is definitely the key when traveling obviously you do a lot of walking and moving so hydration is the key keep you in the game longer

[Youknowthebo]

Thanks for this review. I was considering this bottle, but I was worried about a plastic smell or taste. I have used a similar bottle and that one was suffering from a plastic taste. Have you found a similar thing with the Vapur?

[MsReneArtois]

Used on of these for about 4 years. Loved it. Changed recently to a Hydrapak Stash, more stable and easier to clean/dry; although is just a bit bigger when compressed and no built in clip.

This bottle is excellent. I've had mine for almost 2 years.

[jackolantern]

Yup. We got 2 of these prior to our 2-week trip to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Each day, we would fill up in the hotel, placed the bottle in the side pockets of the LLBean Stowaway Daypack and then went out to enjoy the city. This is a perfect travel bottle when you're packing lite. My wife was filling up in Heathrow and got asked by a surprised traveler what type of bottle that was. The only thing I am not sure about is if there would be any issues with the plastic if this goes un-used for a few months.

Have you guys seen the latest reviews on this bottle in Amazon? They are mostly negative - I'm curious what your thoughts are since I found the bottle on this channel

If you want your water to stay cold, you can pull a wet sock over the bottle. When the water of the sock evaporates in the sun, the water inside the bottle cools down

[HellzMajik]

Can i use this with alcohol? Considering for camping trips. Or do you know of a different one in the same size category that would work better for that? thanks!

[fmartinez]

Came here to find out how reliable the cap is against accidental opening. No mention made about the cap or leak-proofness.

[cankoklu]

Nice video.. Bought the older version.. Wonder how long it will last.
Useless trivia: Vapur means "boat" in Turkish.

[TheToeKnee]

I am not sure if I would end up using it. I normally drink alcohol on the flight and we end up buying water at the store when traveling to other countries. However, I do like compact things!

You have a new/different shirt, hopefully you went somewhere tropical!

[RJ.Ev.G]

Will a standard LifeStraw fit inside of the opening?

[curblaw]

Can this bottle stand up when put on a table or does it have to lie flat?

[ioannescianus]

How do you completely dry this bottle?

[josephinecronin]

You hydrate better with room temperature water but it’s not as refreshing obviously

[MrAWMangum]

“The size that it is when compressed is a huge thing.” Looks pretty small to me. :).
