I have stuck with Camelbak because all other hydration packs that have the screw off lid like this leaked on me. Is that an issue with this pack?

I have had no problem with the Osprey cap leaking if it is put on without cross threading. That being said, I find it very difficult to screw it on correctly. The retaining ring with keeps the cap attached to the hydration bag binds somewhat when you try to screw on the cap. It can look like it is screwed on correctly, but if you tilt it, it will be obvious if it is not.

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.

it depends if your pack has an internal hydration pocket or not. if it does there will be a hidden opening to allow the hose to pass through and down one of the straps so you can drink from it.

I shouldn't leak at all if you have the lid snapped on firmly and the little vent hole cover snapped into place. It's a rubbery lid that seals pretty tightly and takes some effort to sort of "peel" it back off the cup when you are ready to eat. I've never had any spillage in my fancy tote bag I haul lunch in.

We haven't had any problems with leaking if the lid is on right. And if you are sure that the rubber little sip lid is closed all the way down. But, we don't usually put it in a bag because some of the reviews said theirs leaked all over. It has been upside down quite a few times though and never leaked. but for some reason this particular bottle, and only this particular pink one (we have a few), has an issue with the lid going on straight. I have to check it every time we use it to make sure it's on right and it often times takes 2 times of screwing it on before its on right. But that's not a big ideal. Overall a good bottle.

Absolutely. When you push the cap down after drinking, you hear a snap. Then it has a wire connector that slips over the opening also. Mine has not leaked a bit, and I have carried it in my backpack and in my huge travel purse with no problems. I love mine! I hope this helps. :)

I use the .5L size to fit in a pocket for sporting events or other places where the "beverages" are expensive to purchase. Use the larger sizes for extra water when backpacking. Never had any leaking with any method of carry. I use the standard screw top sold cap, but there is the option to buy a bite valve style, no knowledge with those.

There is a soft shell I insulated lining in the bottom like any other soft side cooler. I used both ice and freezer packs and there was no leaking. I like using freezer packs best since it not only gives more room it ensures no water leakage.

You can also contact Camelbak and tell them how yours is defective and leaking and they will send you a new one, they have great customer service.

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.

Yes, in fact I swapped out a valved bite valve from another CamelBak brand hydration pack and swap them back and forth with no problem. BTW, the two liter reservoir is pretty easy to fill, clean and dry. The only (minor) hassle is cleaning the tube which is the same no matter which system you get.

FIRST camelback i've ever had that leaked and it happened the first time i used it! i put it sideways on my front car seat and there was a puddle. quite disappointing. i love the filter but not sure if i trust carrying thing thing around like i have with all my other camelbak bottles. if i do, i'll keep it upright. i contacted camelbak to request a new lid. let's hope this will fix it.

I have 3 of them and took them backpacking with pretty full packs and none of them leaked. But, with that being said, I'm not sure I'd chance it with my laptop unless there was a divider of some sort.

I would stray away from this one. I bought it for long dirt bike rides where you can get extremely exhausted miles away from water. This one leaked since the first time I tried it. It was very cold out and my back was soaked. Also, the nozzle was a big let down. You actually have to open and close it like a pop-up water bottle. My buddy bought a fox brand water pack and has had it for over a year, on multiple rides. He has fallen on it and it has never leaked. His nozzle is also a great design. It is a soft material and all you do is bite it gently and suck. No hands needed. Hope this helps.

The clear plastic insert attached to the bottle is supposed to fit inside the bottle lid. I have two bottles and when lid is screwed on there is no leakage on either one. I wonder if there is a defect with the clear plastic insert or the lid. You might check to see if the clear plastic is inserted rightly into the bottle. I have tested mine a few times after reading this, and mine are both sealed tight when lid is screwed on. You might contact seller. I am very pleased with my product.

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 was able to fit my Camelback Antidote Reservoir in the backpack without any issues. Wasn't a perfect fit, but its secure and I've never had a leak or problem.
