VapurEclipse Reusable Plastic Water Bottle - Blue, 0.7 Litres

This is a really handy bottle, easy to fill, very light, and like the way it collapses as you drink the contents, so very practical to carry in a rucksack or a pocket. It really only has one irritation in my opinion, but its minor, and thats that after you've rinsed it out, it absolutely will not dry out inside! I tried it on the draining board, the window sill in the sun, right way up, wrong way up - there was still a mist of moisture droplets inside. Storing it with moisture in for a week or two between uses (in my case) isn't a good idea I would have thought. The simple way I addressed this was to rinse it out and then just pop it in the freezer. It's flat, so takes no room, the moisture freezes so no bacteria problem, and then to use it I just take it out for 5 minutes, rinse and refill.I'm not sure about 'dishwasher safe'.. keeping it in position sounds like it could be difficult as its so light, very little water would get up the spout and it wouldn't dry inside! All it needs is a good rinse out.

I'm a big fan of Vapur bottles in general, but not so much of this bottle in particular. It's got a matte coating which I really liked at first, but as soon as I used it and rolled it up a couple of times, the coating started rubbing off and looked horrible. It gave the bottle a weird greasy appearance, like I'd been holding it with oily hands. A shame, as this is a good size for longer journeys etc., but the tatty appearance just really put me off using it.I've subsequently bought the  Vapur Shades Reusable Plastic Water Bottle - Grey, 0.5 Litres  and although it's a slightly smaller capacity, I've been really pleased with it.

It was a bit different to how I thought it would be. It's made from stiffer, more crinkly plastic than I thought. I thought it would be more like a tough plastic bag. The matt finish soon rubs off, and it's shiny plastic, (though because it doesn't rub off everywhere, it looks a bit knackered and worn). The seal on the cap works very well, and I haven't had a leak so far, even with it being squashed in a bag, but it's always been upright, so not sure how it would perform being chucked in a backpack, if it was loose.

The first one I got was clearly faulty, immediately started leaking. It was shoddily made, and the edges on both sides near the cap was not sealed properly, with obvious gaping edges. However, since the other reviewers didn't seem to be having this problem, I figured mine must just be the unlucky one. Gave it another chance, was sent a new one in the post (Well done to the customer service! I left mine really late, only got round to contacting them a few weeks after I'd received it cause I had been travelling, but they were willing to send a new one right away). Took a while, but I just used this on a 10-day holiday, hanging it off the strap of my bag. Worked perfectly this time, no leaks. Seems sturdy, hope it lasts a long time.

Have tried cheaper alternative versions but found this one to be of a much higher quality. The material is a lot more durable and it doesn't leak. I just hope it doesn't start to smell after a few months of not using it.

Bought one a couple of years ago, which lasted near enough 2 years. Great item, bought it again as I knew it would come in handy. Great for hikes and what not.

Just what I needed a well thought out and useful bottle, lightweight and packs down small when empty, water tasted good and the clip was useful, easy to fill and drink out of. Super bit of kit, going to get the 1 litre version as well

Used extensively for nearly a year both traveling and day to day. Excellent quality and have had no leaks. Collapses small when empty, making it perfect for a day bag or going through airport security. Has probably saved 100s of plastic bottles from landfill, and my wallet too!
