vapur bottle..

"Vapur is the foldable, reusable water bottle designed to go anywhere. Unlike rigid bottles, Vapur can be rolled, folded or flattened when empty – easily fitting into pockets, purses, packs or briefcases. The highly-durable bottle is freezable, dishwasher safe and BPA-free, which means it can be safely reused again and again.."
