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!!

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!

I had the same problem with my Bella mixer, but I have had no leaking issues with my Ninja's single serve cups. I've had it a couple months now, use it almost every morning, & no leaks!

I didn't have that problem, and I dropped mine plenty of times. There were other issues with leaking, but not that. I did try to contact them to ask about issues, and I couldn't find a contact number or email address, so you're on your own with it unless you can find a way to contact them.

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.

over time I have switched to other bladders. My favorite right now is http://www.geigerrig.com/. I have tried Camelbaks and Platypus bags but I find the geigerrig's ability to turn inside out the easiest to clean and keep dry. The problem with the sawyer bags are they are hard to keep clean and the handles/small hole at the bottom tear under full weight of water (or maybe a bit more if you hang it wrong) so they become (imo) worthless. If I had to do it all over again, i would just order the filter and make my own system with it. Just my .02

No real experience with leaking . Not very well made is my opinion . Retractable cord worked one time. Would not by again as that was one reason I purchased it .I would return 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.

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.

No problems with leaking, this is a high quality water bottle. Very comparable to a Camelbak water bottle without the annoying bite valve to get a drink.

I've owned a couple of these over the years and never had any leaking issues. Your most prone to issues from the removing and installing the bladder from the pack. Hope this helps.

I haven't had this problem. Have you tried tightening it to see if that helps? I remember at least one other reviewer had the same problem. Once he/she tightened it, it no longer leaked. Hope that helps

I'd agree -- I'd say 3.0 is about 95% leak proof, where the previous version (2.0?) was about 50% leak proof, and totally unreliable if the Kanteen was on its side. This one has been tipped over a batch of times in my briefcase without leaking.

It works well for me. I've used it a number of times and have not had any issues with leaking.

I know I have the same problem as well. I think I will try and call Nalgene customer service. Really disappointed with the bottle, especially because it is an expensive water bottle.

I've had mine several months now and use it almost daily. Never had any problem with it leaking.

Do you have a good seal on the bottle? It should be very snug. I had one bottle that I had to use one of the rubber adapters with, but most fit perfectly. Pam
