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!!

This is the best water bottle I've had. No leakage issues. I've used it daily at the gym, in the car, etc. Never had a problem with it.

So far, I have had no issues with it leaking. Like you, the bottle is sideways and getting moved around a lot in my backpack when I take it to work.

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. I would stray away from this one.

I have not noticed anything like that really. I mean besides sweating like crazy when you're working out. I have never noticed leaking of any sorts though.

Glen, my initial thought was no because the pouches are sort of oval-shaped to fit the bottles that come with the belt. However, I just tried it and it worked. I was easily able to slide a standard 16 oz water bottle in and out of the pouch. My only question is would my elbows be hitting it if I tried to run with it that way. The 16 oz water bottle stuck out considerably higher than the 8 oz bottle that comes with the belt. I added two pictures to my review to show you the 16 oz water bottle in one holster as compared to the fitletic bottle in the other holster.

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 haven't had a problem with leaking, but mine are still pretty new. I tossed a mason jar with smoothie into the diaper bag. It didn't leak. It was kind of risky, but I was desperate at the moment.

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.

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.

There is a closed durable plastic "U" design, that moves up and down. I use this on my an clip to my backpack. If you need pics let me know. If you have a "D" ring (rock climber stuff) you can attach it. But by far this is the best water bottle I have owned, no leaking whatsoever! Need pics let me know.

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.

I've owned mine for over a year and I have experienced that seal failing once. I expect that it is going to fail again soon. This does seem to be their weak point. They replaced it with no problem but I couldn't make my daily green smoothie for more than a week.

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

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

I use it for yoga classes and mix electrolytes in it and have not had any problems w/leakage. Hope this helps! I LOVE my hydroflask.
