Vapur Vapur Eclipse 1L— Specs & Analysis
Manufacturer specifications, compared against every other hydration in our database. We do not test gear in the field — we measure, verify, and compare.
The Vapur Eclipse 1L is a collapsible, foldable water bottle that weighs just 37 grams and rolls up to the size of a small snack bar when empty. It is an ultralight backup water vessel for bikepackers who need flexible capacity.
The Vapur Eclipse solves a problem that every bikepacker encounters: sometimes you need more water capacity than your primary bottles provide, but carrying extra rigid bottles full-time wastes valuable space. The Eclipse folds flat when empty and takes up virtually no room in a pocket or bag, then expands to a full liter when you need it.
Construction uses a three-ply nylon and polyethylene laminate that is remarkably durable for its weight. The material is BPA-free, taste-neutral, and dishwasher safe. Despite its flexible construction, the Eclipse can stand upright when filled and feels secure in a bottle cage with an adapter, though it is most practical carried in a bag or pocket.
The SuperCap spout opens with a simple flip and provides a good flow rate for drinking on the move. It seals completely when closed and does not leak, even when the bottle is squeezed in a packed bag. The integrated carabiner clip lets you hang the bottle from a pack strap or bag loop for quick access.
At just 37 grams and essentially zero packed volume when empty, the Eclipse is the ultimate backup water container. Many bikepackers carry one or two as emergency reserves for dry stretches, filling them only when they know the next water source is far away and emptying them once the risk has passed.
The flexible material does pick up flavors from drink mixes more readily than rigid plastic or metal bottles. A thorough wash with baking soda between uses helps, but if you exclusively use the Eclipse for plain water, this is a non-issue.
For bikepackers who want the security of extra water capacity without the permanent space and weight commitment, the Vapur Eclipse is the lightest and most packable solution available.
