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!!

Meghan, normal water bottles are not going to work in this Nathan Hydration Belt. The bottles are designed to fit snugly in both sides of the belt. I usually use one for water and the other for Gatorade. I can get about 11 ounces in each bottle filling right to the top. Best, Tom

Thank you! many times... I will seek out the Ziploc pump + bags at your (and others)solid recomendations. It is gratifying to know I am deffinately not the only "leaky" bag person.

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.

If you are talking about these specific bottles leaking ,NO.. I have bought three for my household alone and neither one of them leak and I ordered three one goes with me on the road,one is just my work out bottle and the other my husband uses for work and again absolutely No problems with any of them. Then my brother in law seen me with mine and ordered 2 one for him and the other for my sister and they love them and also purchased from the same seller!! Maybe the one you had purchased was just by accident was already damaged somehow.. So there are 5 of these bottles in my family and we love,love,love them!!

Haven't had any issues with leakage. I have one bottle which was accidentally dropped and minus the dent still works well and no leakage

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 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...

Nope, I haven't encountered any trouble with leakage and I've been using these water bottles for years. I throw them in my bag all the time. The black caps have rubber rings on them that block any water from seeping out.

I have had no problems with leaking, however I do try to avoid submerging it whenever possible... If it gets rained on when taking videos etc or cleaning it with water no problems yet.

yes my unfortunately has started to leak,which is too bad because i love the other product that they have.I ihave 4 autoseal travel mugs and another water bottle so i am familiar with these.

It has leaked for my wife but not myself (we own two). It would seem that the quality of the seal varies. Due to this, I can't safely recommend this for bag carry.

Hi! If you use it with only two bottles in the front or rear the belt, it works perfectly fine! I personaly bought 2 belts over time (since I got slimmer I had to bought a smaller size) and I used it with only 2 bottles on shorter distance. Good Luck.

I have not had any problems with mine... Sometimes if you do not line up the bottom right when you screw them on they will leak (just like anything with a screw cap). What I noticed is that water can get stuck in the bottom (Between the white "ring" and the bottle plastic) and it seems like the bottle is leaking but its not.

Hi Kate - well it seems that only us purchasers will accept that this product has a problem with the leaking - krups it seems don't - I've emailed them. I am now about to send my THIRD Circolo back (purchased this time through Co-op online just to make sure it was not a 'faulty batch' that Amazon had in stock. Seems that it was not. Anyhows, going to chose another style now - don't want to because I love the modern style of the Circolo but it seems to me that until Krups acknowledge that there is a problem they won't actually sort it out!

Mine is. I've had pretty good luck with these types of bottles. In the past, I had a couple off brand ones that leaked, but even those I think the seal got twisted or loose in the dishwasher and was able to fix. If you're taking it to work, I would just make sure it's totally dry, put my powder in and fill with water/milk once you get to work. Personally, I keep one at work with a bottle of protein mix. Good luck!

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.
