Does the black plastic loop cap leak like the others lids do?

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 a stainless 18 oz model. I tried putting it in my backpack but found found that it leaked quite a bit. It must be kept upright.

The lid is screwed on, not snapped on. My wife and I use it for salad dressings in our lunch bags. It doesn't leak when tipped over in a lunch bag. (even vinaigrette or Italian dressings)

I love mine and I find that it never leaks. However, I don't use the screen: I use mind usually as a coffee mug. When I first purchased mine and washed the lid, I removed the latex looking ring that helps the cap seal to the jar. That first time I forgot to replace this ring, at which point the jar did leak. Since then I am careful to replace the ring if I've removed it for washing. I hope this helps.

I just put water in it, put the cap on, and shook it. It doesn't leak. Unless you squeeze it, then it will leak.

All of the lids I have fit very tightly. On the large round ones, I have to pry them off with a knife handle. They don't leak or spill at all.

No leaking, the caps go on very tightly and securely BUT I imagine would be difficult for small kids to put back on.

The screw cap is stainless with plastic seal and insert. Does not leak at all.

I was comparing Rubbermaid containers at Cub Foods in Minnesota yesterday and noticed two different lids for the same products. Both were noted as leak proof. I am not sure if the manufacturer changed lids and the old style is still being distributed or what, but upon my inspection, they seemed similar and of no real consequence.

The one I purchased leaked once. I just made sure the cap was in the locked position and no more leaks. I also purchased one of these fine units for my mother, who lives in a nursing home. THe nursing assistants help locked the bottom cap, as she has difficulties dues to arthritis in her hands.

Obviously, it is an issue based on others responses. However, I have purchased 2 of these same bottles and have not had any leakage problems. I did read a review once from an individual who suggested that making sure the back hinge of the cap is lined up with the measurement marks of the bottle, somehow, prevents it from leaking. I always place the cap on in that manner and believe that to be true--as strange as it sounds. See if that works.

I actually haven't noticed that. I would either contact hydroflask and have them replace your lid. I think in my household we have 5 and none of them leak.

I haven't tried that yet, but if you seal the lid on tightly (and there is a trick to doing that) I suspect it will not leak. I suspect the biggest problem will be when the plastic lid starts wearing out and becoming more brittle. Then it may start leaking.

Mine does not leak. As long as the seal is tight and not worn down, it will not leak.

It does not leak out of the lid or the rubber grommet. Its a water tight fit. The straw is hard to get in the grommet tho. You have to get it wet first and twist it while you push it in the lid. Liquid will come out of the straw tho, but that part is expected. We love the lids.

Maybe I got a faulty flip top cap because it Does leak. I bought the regular screw cap to replace.

No it doesn't leak unless you accidentally screw the lid on wrong (which I've done a few times). I've just learned to tip it over in the sink to see if I got it right and water isn't gushing out. The other time it leaked slightly is when I was rummaging in my gym bag and the stopper was tugged off. I'm more cautious about that now as well, and it hasn't happened again.
