OutdoorHub 02.04.13
An Australian–designed filter installed in a collapsible water bottle, has scooped the pool at the US largest outdoor retail trade show.
The Vapur Microfilter collapsible water bottle was given the prestigious accolade during judging of all the latest retail products released for the outdoor retail market.
The bottle is designed specifically for campers, hikers, and fitness enthusiasts as it can collapse down to a compact, lightweight parcel that can fit into a small pocket or backpack.
