I've researched several hydration belts, and water bottle leakage seems to be a common complaint. Does anybody have any comments on leakage?

By contrast, this is excellent. I have three belts of other brands, but for many reasons this is the best performance I get.Thanks...!

No problems with leaks during runs here either, up to a half marathon. The only problem is when I first load up my Nuun. I just squeeze it a little to release the pressure and it's fine. Of course, if I let the bottles sit upside down in the car, that's another story.

This is an excellent belt! I run between 13-15 miles on my long runs and have never experience any leaks. Except for the time I put red bull in bottles. The carbonation plus the bouncing made a mess- mea culpa!

I haven't had any leaks and I run from 6 to 8 miles, so that's alot of movement I would think. Didn't leak at all while running....now I wear mine turned around on my hips so it's slightly harder to pull the 8oz out, and if I squeeze to tight and they're full a little comes out. But I think that's my fault and not the product....I fill them to the rim and they don't leak themselves...hope this helps!

No, I have not experienced any leakage. There was one time I had some leakage, but it was because I didn't screw the top on correctly and got it cross threaded. As long as is the lid screwed on properly and snug, there has been no leakage.

The NEW belts (approx. 2014 - 2015) that do NOT have the "pull up" nipple... they do NOT leak. The ones with the pull up nipple (white) weren't so good and they did leak if doing sprints or got knocked over. The new bottles require you to suck out the liquid ... and they have NO pull nipple on them. Love it!!

On short runs I use two bottles and it's fine. Long runs I use all four. It's a great belt!! Lots if storage for id and phone.

i have no idea - i've never had trouble with this unit (nor has my family), but frankly not with any other water bottle or hydration packs either.

You are not alone. I have the exact same issue. I too am on my second one and even that leaks now. It's annoying.

I'd agree -- I'd say 3.0 is about 95% leak proof, where the previous version (2.0?) was about 50% leak proof, and totally unreliable if the Kanteen was on its side. This one has been tipped over a batch of times in my briefcase without leaking.

Other than the water left over in the grooves from either rinsing or over filling it and then closing it I haven't had a problem with it leaking. It could also be the rubber attachment, I took nine off right when I got it because it was irritating me.

I bought the water bottles for my fiance and asked him if he's had any issues like this. He said he hasn't. You must have got a defective one with a hole or something b/c leaking isn't happening at all with ours. Good luck!

I've owned a couple of these over the years and never had any leaking issues. Your most prone to issues from the removing and installing the bladder from the pack. Hope this helps.

I've owned mine for over a year and I have experienced that seal failing once. I expect that it is going to fail again soon. This does seem to be their weak point. They replaced it with no problem but I couldn't make my daily green smoothie for more than a week.

It works well for me. I've used it a number of times and have not had any issues with leaking.

There is a closed durable plastic "U" design, that moves up and down. I use this on my an clip to my backpack. If you need pics let me know. If you have a "D" ring (rock climber stuff) you can attach it. But by far this is the best water bottle I have owned, no leaking whatsoever! Need pics let me know.

Do you have a good seal on the bottle? It should be very snug. I had one bottle that I had to use one of the rubber adapters with, but most fit perfectly. Pam

I've used these bottles for all three of my kids. The only time they've leaked is if the rubber piece on the bottom is not on correctly OR the bottom is on too tight causing the rubber piece to shift. I hope this helps you! =)

I use it for yoga classes and mix electrolytes in it and have not had any problems w/leakage. Hope this helps! I LOVE my hydroflask.

I would stray away from this one. I bought it for long dirt bike rides where you can get extremely exhausted miles away from water. This one leaked since the first time I tried it. It was very cold out and my back was soaked. Also, the nozzle was a big let down. You actually have to open and close it like a pop-up water bottle. My buddy bought a fox brand water pack and has had it for over a year, on multiple rides. He has fallen on it and it has never leaked. His nozzle is also a great design. It is a soft material and all you do is bite it gently and suck. No hands needed. Hope this helps. I would stray away from this one.

I am sorry- I don't have a kid with a mini hydration pack! I can tell you, however, when I looked at the pack online, it sure looks like it is the same stuff, only a smaller pack. Never saw any parts options for replacements that are "mini" sized so I would feel safe ordering....also, it might be a good thing to get a "Bit Bite Valve Cover" while you are at it. I know kids might be a little rough on their stuff, but if you can get them used to it, using a cover is a really nice habit.
