Follow up to is it leak proof. I going to be putting it sideways in a carry bag. Is the cap secure enough to stop from leaking all over in my bag?

If the cap clicks tight you should be fine. I have tipped my new bottle over and not had a problem. However, if there is something else in your bag that might "uncatch" the lid, or it gets loose through the years, it will obviously spill. It's not going to just open by the shear force of the water itself - something would really have to snag it. All that being said, I did have my old one come open and everything in my bag got wet - but it might have been my fault in not snapping the lid shut tightly. Hope that is helpful. I really like this bottle and think it might be worth the try. If the cap clicks tight you should be fine. I have tipped my new bottle over and not had a problem.

If cap screwed on tightly & flip top secured it will hold. I would make sure everything is secure by turning it sideways for a second before inserting it into carrying bag. I've dropped them before without spillage.

So far, I have had no issues with it leaking. Like you, the bottle is sideways and getting moved around a lot in my backpack when I take it to work.

I would be careful it's hit or miss and if something if something in the bag rubs the cover the wrong way it will open

No it is not. You will have a wet bag guaranteed. A better option is the Nalgene OTF bottle. It costs a bit more but won't leak. Just remember to take out the little rubber stopper and wash it every once in a while. It tends to mold.

This is a great water bottle. Prolly not good for just throwing it in a bag.The lid could pop open.

No problems here. The lid, if shut fully, does not leak on the one I bought.

I haven't had a leaking problem, but decided to experiment to answer your question. I filled it and put it on its side overnight - no leaking. However, when I vigorously shook it upside down, there was some dribbling. I've been very happy with this bottle so far.

I've bought two of these. The first one, I was not able to. The second one didn't really have that problem.My experiences from the first one was that no matter how tightly I screwed the cap on, it would still leak if the bottle was on its side. I never had an issue from either of mine leaking from the cap when it was right-side up. If it leaks from that position, you probably should get a new one because that's not supposed to happen whatsoever.

It is rather leakproof, but if you were hiking and had this in your backpack I am sure it would open up at some point and begin to spill. I would recommend just using a thermos and a tea infuser instead.

Well, never had to test it out, but I would say probably not totally leak-proof. The inside lining is a very soft material, as is the outside of the bag.

No its just a cap but when tightly sealed, I've never had problems of leaking when it falls over.

These fit most bottles but once you open/unseal it to drink, it won't be able to hold the liquid inside when you place the cap back on for later. Hence, expect some leaking if you're gonna put the bottle in your bag on the go..

It didn't come in a package, that I recall so I don't have an answer for that question. Regarding the cap, it doesn't leak if that's your concern. If you're not happy with the cap when you see it, go to a craft store and get a material that will satisfy you, take 10 mins to make a new cap liner and rock on. See ya at the Bieber concert!

the only time i've had my cap leak is when i leave my tea bag in, hang the string over the edge, and screw the cap on. ... but i really wouldn't expect the seal on the cap to handle all of that. I've used it about 3 times a week for many months.

No leaking issues, travelled to Jamaica with it. p.s. you could always put it in a ziplock bag.

Yes they are leakproof. We've never had a problem. I carry one in my purse. HOWEVER, folks are right about the caps. a few of mine are starting to crack, possibly from over tightening. I'm going to get replacements caps because the bottles are excellent.

My lids are snug and stay on tight. I've dropped mine and had minimal spilling from the drink and vent holes, not from the seal. It will leak if you lay the tumbler on it's side. Think of the lid like any to go cup lid- works well for driving about or walking but if you drop it or tip it over, you'll get some spilling.

No leaks. I've dropped it numerous times, laid it down on my car seat, put it in my briefcase upside down.....all without leaks. I may be lucky, but.....it's a good bottle.

From my experice it's pretty air, tight. It's got like a rubber piece that keeps it sealed tight or from popping open. I don't think I would throw it upside down in my backpack, but it's pretty leak proof I think.

Hi Jase,I've noticed that if I fill the bottle to capacity there could be some liquid leaking. However, as long as there's some room between the bottom of the cap once fastened all the way, you should have no leaking.Also, could be good to check the rubber seal to see if it's been warped or damaged. If it's looking good, there should be no problem fastening it nice and tight.Hope that helps...

I didn't have issues with the cap, it's very secure, there is a click (or a thonk sound) when you close it. You'll have more issues with condensation if you freeze it or have it cold, but a sock or bottle cozy should fix that. I carried it with my 3DSXL and Cell Phone in the same pocket of my bag. You can also hand it from the loop on a backpack/bag if you go one to be extra safe.

It really isn't meant for that. It is not a good cap for just keeping water out. It might fit over that but it does not keep water secure. You can easily put your finger through the hole. It is more preventive for water when turning upside down. I would def give it a try depending on your use.
