Vapur’s Lightweight Filter Bag

There are more than a few options for water purification these days, most of which taste a lot better than iodine tablets. Products like the Life Straw allow outdoor enthusiasts to drink clean water no matter where they go, but portability and access to bodies of water are still an issue. Vapur comes in handy thanks to its folding bag design that stores water before it’s purified in the straw.

Plastic water bottles can be bulky and heavy, making Vapur the perfect bottle for campers and hikers who need to lug all their equipment on their back. Vapur’s MicroFilter Bottle Set isn’t even a bottle — it’s a BPA-free durable plastic bag that can pack down when empty to save space. It can hold up to one liter of water, filtered on demand by squeezing it through the screw-on cap, which contains a filter that removes 99.999 percent of bacteria, including salmonella, cholera and E. coli.

The filter itself is just .2 microns wide, and lasts for at least 500 liters of water. The best part is the filter automatically closes itself to prevent contaminated water from getting through.
