When I shake the bottle it seems to leak a bit. Is it normal? I only ask since it will be in my bag and it will get moved around a lot.

Hi Jase,I've noticed that if I fill the bottle to capacity there could be some liquid leaking. However, as long as there's some room between the bottom of the cap once fastened all the way, you should have no leaking.Also, could be good to check the rubber seal to see if it's been warped or damaged. If it's looking good, there should be no problem fastening it nice and tight.Hope that helps...

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.

It hasn't leaked with the 3 i bought, even lying down or shaken up. Maybe there is something wrong with the seal on yours?

Hi there,Thanks for getting in touch. The bottle should not leak. This may indicate that you are in need of a cap replacement. Please feel free to visit our website www.hydroflask.com and submit a Lifetime Warranty request. We will happily send you a new cap which should fix the problem!Thanks!

Mine has never leaked, I don't shake it, but it does get thrown on my car seat, been dropped a few times etc and no leaking. I have had water get trapped in the lid, and when you take the lid off the water leaks out of it.

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.

The hydro flask bottles should not leak. Please remember these bottles and lids should not be washed in a washing machine per the manufacturer's instructions. I would suggest replacing the lid if the problem persists.

It sounds like you have a defective bottle. It should easily squeeze out of the bottle.

This cup can have a few drops come out if shaken really really hard. It doesn't get worse over time. It travels in my diaper bag all the time with no issues. Hope that helps!

I've brought this backpacking on an overnight trip and I've brought this on many day hikes. I've never had it leak and I've stored it in a bag on its side with confidence.You should still be super careful about putting this next to a laptop. User error is the most common reason for issues with this bottle. But, the bottle can still be punctured or popped with a bunch of pressure if you fall or whatever.

I have noticed this happens to me when the bottle is stored on its side rather than being stored upright. The first drop doesn't actually come out, it is almost as though there is an air bubble. The second drop, for me, is usually the normal-sized drop.

I have never had a problem with liquids leaking. I use the smaller sizes in my lunch bags and have never had a leak. The others don't get shaken much unless I'm using them for a marinade, which get shaken gently, but again, no trouble. I like these a lot.

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!! Give it a second chance you will get a good one! There awesome&#128077;&#128077;&#128077;&#128077;&#128077;&#128077;

I purchased this bottle and I have not had any problems with the cap accidentally opening. I carry the bottle in my bag with my books, cell phone, tablet, etc. The cap is secure and stays tight withstanding movement very well.

You shake out the oil. It works fine for most things and the bottles do not leak. That said, it's not too hard to pry the hard plastic inserts out of the neck of the bottle and use your own dropper or syringe if you want to.

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've had no problems with leakage with it falling over in the car but that was never for more than a couple of hours and I usually didn't have a thin liquid in it. I would try to keep it upright if possible though.

I dont think it is normal, but i hear this particular item has this flaw compared to other models. I started to double check the rubber ring and the lid for any food debris left, and normally the leaking didnt happen. Hope you try that.

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.

I would shake it up well before you use it. And just make sure you're rubbing it in all the way and not leaving it too heavy anywhere. If you think it's a bad bottle though, just ask for a replacement.

I haven't had any problems with it. Maybe you have a bad bottle or maybe it's not settled in correctly. If you have not already, try changing it. Hope this help.

Hi, after answering "yes" yesterday, I looked close at the bottle. I was wrong. There was leak, it became solid around the top. I guess that's why I didn't noticed it.

it is not normal at all. Also I hope the first bottle was full because mine was not and I sent it back.
