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!!

I agree with Suzers45, it is a snug fit around the top. No pain involved, but I wouldn't want to wear it for an extended period. I had no problems with water leaking.

Other than the water left over in the grooves from either rinsing or over filling it and then closing it I haven't had a problem with it leaking. It could also be the rubber attachment, I took nine off right when I got it because it was irritating me.

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.

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.

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

No leaks. I've dropped it numerous times, laid it down on my car seat, put it in my briefcase upside down.....all without leaks. I may be lucky, but.....it's a good bottle.

Yeah, there is a place for hydration bladders, but depending on the bladder it might be hanging out a bit at the top. I've got a 1 liter that hangs out. I think there is one made specifically for this bag, but it's got issues with leaking, supposedly. I hope that helps.

I have had no issues w/ leaking yet. I did use pipe tape to help the fitting to better seal. So, I have not even bothered getting a fitting as mine has been fine

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.

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.

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.

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.

No problem with leakage...I mean you will be using a bag in there anyway...

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 have used mine extensively and have had no leakage. Here's an idea - if you are concerned about ruining a $1k+ laptop, go to Target or walmart and pick up a box of the HUGE ziplock bags and put the bladder in the ziplock bag as a secondary barrier. Hope this helps...

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.
