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.

I have not tried but with those 2 bottles you will be fine for almost every running distance and the quality of this belt is very good and comfortable.

Hi! If you use it with only two bottles in the front or rear the belt, it works perfectly fine! I personaly bought 2 belts over time (since I got slimmer I had to bought a smaller size) and I used it with only 2 bottles on shorter distance. Good Luck.

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've never had a problem with it leaking. I throw it in a bag for the range and never think about it until I need a drink.

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.

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 .

I do not live in such a climate so I am unsure. I haven't had a problem with leakage though, I travel alot!!

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.

It is a problem. I am not that happy with how they have sealed the top. The first time I used this in a Tri, I did not secure the inner bottle down with the rubber band and it was creeping up. I pushed it down only to be drenched with gatorade. So for the next 55 miles of my ride, I was very sticky. I ended up making my own gasket to seal the top. You then need to open it to refill, but it is better than having the liquid come out of the bottle.

Though this bottle looks great & feels solid, I would not purchase it again, nor would I recommend it. The spout leaks...given I brought mine several years ago and I still have it. I never use it, just can't part with it because I spent $20 on it....LOL So unless you can find out if the makers resolved the leaking from the spout, I would look for something else. Maybe, something of the "camelbak" variations. I've have a basic style water bottle (non-insulated) for years now, best water bottle I ever owned for approx $20 and easy to clean. They do have insulated variations. As for the "kefir" drink. I'm go on a limb and say this should be okay, but don't quote me on this fact..

Yes, my first one leaked so I bought another and the second one leaks too. I may return it, or just use them in the car where they will remain right-side up all the time. Also, even when upright if the mouthpiece is open then warming air in the bottle will push a LOT of water up and out of the straw and all over your cupholder area. So if you use it in the car make sure to close it. I'd never carry one of these in a backpack. Water does really taste better though, so I'll accept the limited usefulness.

I have had mine for over a year now and have never experienced any water leaking into the grill. I have a heavy grill cover for it which does its job of keeping the grill dry. At most when it rains some water gets around the wheels but that dries off pretty quickly. I think it's one of the better investments I have made and am very pleased with it. Good luck.

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.
