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!!

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'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.

The Osprey 14 is a great hydration and mountain biking backpack. I only had one leak issue when I did not take care to thread the lid properly. If done correctly there are no leak issues. I've hit overhead branches and crashed a couple of times without a single leak.

I have not had any problems with leaks yet. The quick release is pretty good quality, and both it and the bite valve create a good seal.

It is not normal for the bottle to leak at all. Sometimes water can get trapped in the threads and get squeezed out when the lid is tightened. Make sure its not just that residual water from the threads and then return it.

My bottle, unfortunately, began to leak increasingly from a side-seam. When it got to point that it would create a pool of water around it on table, I had to replace. REI replaced, but I didn't notice that it was with a .7 liter. So now I'm buying another ... that's how much I like for now. But the seam can leak.

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.

I've had minimal leakage. Very minimal. Has only happened a few times but as long as I close it all the way it seems to be fine.

I have not had any problems, but for some reason Amazon does not seem to be carrying it any longer. If you go to their web site, i.e. http://aigehydration.com, under contact, you can send an email. I hope they fix any company problems, because I love the water bottle...

1) I found it to be such shoddy junk that I sent it back for a refund toward a better filter. I suggest you do the same. 2) I don't think you want it any looser, 'cause if it is, it'll leak. 3) But if you want to try, Vaseline is about the only lubricant that's safe to use in contact with drinking water that won't rot (like vegetable oil would). It's also good for sealing leaky O-rings (where the filter housing screws into the base).

I did not have any problems with leakage. I have used them for transporting pickles, making jello shots and putting condiments in to take for lunch.

I have had zero problems with these guys sweating. I put mine in the fridge alot without issues as well. The only problem I've had is the sport cap leaking...even with it closed.

No problem with leakage...I mean you will be using a bag in there anyway...

I have only had them for a short while, but so far so good. A friend of mine has had them for much longer, and I have never heard her mention problems with leaks. She seems very happy with them. The seal seems pretty tight.

I've been using Nalgene Cantenes for 10 years now, never had one leak. I popped one, but that was my own fault, sat on it in my pack while it was half full of water.

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.
