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!!

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.

Yeah, there is a place for hydration bladders, but depending on the bladder it might be hanging out a bit at the top. I've got a 1 liter that hangs out. I think there is one made specifically for this bag, but it's got issues with leaking, supposedly. I hope that helps.

It's not going to work in the water, of course. Since I have carried in rainy day for few times, I haven't experienced any leaking so far. However, you may ask others, too. They could have different opinions. At least it has worked for me.

I've had my evap for about a year now and have had no issues with leakage. The only problem I have is with my hard water... The calcium builds up around it. Just remember to clean it out every now and then. I also like to add vanilla extract to the water, it brings out a nice sent (just don't use oils).

I have used mine extensively and have had no leakage. Here's an idea - if you are concerned about ruining a $1k+ laptop, go to Target or walmart and pick up a box of the HUGE ziplock bags and put the bladder in the ziplock bag as a secondary barrier. Hope this helps...

No, i have had it for a while and it is usually in the car rolling around in the back. I haven't seen any leaks or damage to the bottle. It is the best thing I have bought for water.

I do not live in such a climate so I am unsure. I haven't had a problem with leakage though, I travel alot!!

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.

It is a problem. I am not that happy with how they have sealed the top. The first time I used this in a Tri, I did not secure the inner bottle down with the rubber band and it was creeping up. I pushed it down only to be drenched with gatorade. So for the next 55 miles of my ride, I was very sticky. I ended up making my own gasket to seal the top. You then need to open it to refill, but it is better than having the liquid come out of the bottle.

I didn't have any problem with the bottle sweating. The straw does not have a cover but it folds up. I never had a problem with it leaking or anything like that.

No leakage problems, at all! This is a very sturdy bottle and worth every penny! You can put ice and water in it and it stays ice cold for 12 hours. We got them after family members used them in the service in Hawai'i. The bottle does not sweat, at all:)

Hi Michelle, if you check their website http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/pv/products/photo-video/detail-1-1-229-726.html towards the bottom of the page is a section called "Other Features". This shows the various hanging loops and belts for carrying additional gear. If your water bottle has a carrying loop or provision for a carabiner, you'll have no problems.

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 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.

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.

Yes, have. I bought a set of 3 and the one bottle leaks terribly from the spay nozzle and from the trigger. I feel there should be some type of small o-ring or something in these areas to prevent this. It becomes a real nuisance.
