How leakproof is this? If I lay it on its side, will it leak? What if I throw it in a bag (e.g. backpack, messenger bag, etc.)?

So far mine has proved to be totally leak free! There is also a lock on the lid to make sure that the mug won't open accidentally.

I gave this as a gift and the guy that uses it every day says he has knocked it out of the car cup holder and it fell in the other seat. He wasn't able to retrieve it right away, but he said it didn't leak.

Mine does not leak. As long as the seal is tight and not worn down, it will not leak.

My Contigo does not leak and it stays hot/cold for hours. This is the best drink carrier I've ever purchased!

As long as you lock the top switch, it's completely leakproof. I fill this with coffee every morning and throw it in my purse - many times it's upside down. Never leaks even a drop.

I have the model with the easy-clean lid but without the new lock. They have never leaked and I lie them down on the seat of the car all the time. The lock keeps the button from opening the mouth access accidentally, but the seal on the lid seems to be completely leakproof regardless of the lock.

Have had mine filled with coffee and sitting on the trunk of my car while loading packages in my car and the Contigo fell over and rolled off the car from about 4 feet onto concrete. No spills, paint got a scratch though. Awesome cup.

I'm not really sure, but I think a light sprinkle might not cause a problem. It has a zipper, which might let in some water. If I were taking it somewhere and it was raining, I'd put it in my waterproof backpack. But that's just me.

I use it on a school bus. I have two of them I carry on the bus. They bounce around a lot and I've never had a leak except when I overfilled it.

That is the design :) No leakage for me yet, but you have to make sure the seal is in properly (it comes out for easy cleaning) and I'm sure it would depend on what you put in there. Something really juicy may leak

I have only used a cold pack with this cooler, so I'm not sure how ice would fare. I think if the ice were placed in a resealable baggie, then placed in the backpack, it would not leak.

Very leak-proof. I carry it in the side pocket of my backpack all the time, and it's even fallen out onto the ground without spilling, as long as you screw the cap on tightly.

yes! It is actually engineered to hold hot water and I read that many have put it in their sleeping bag! It does NOT leak!

We have used it for camping and have not had a leakage problem. I try not to transport it very far full of waste, however, just in case. I also transport it inside a big garbage bag just as an extra precaution. We have been happy with it for use with a big family in primitive camping locations. It cleans up very easily and is easy to empty.

Yes, it does leak! and just after few times using it leaks all over. I am not satisfied with the material, because its quite rough and when you fold it, it breaks.

It is leak proof as long as you put the tab in the "lock" position, and have it assembled correctly. I throw mine in my backpack and the only time it leaked was when I forgot to lock it.

It will leak if you immerse it but it keeps the rain out. I has an external zipper where the water could in. It is a good lightweight bag for carrying your guitar around. Not designed or shipping your guitar you need a heaver case for that.

Don't know if it is waterproof or not, I use it as a travel bag in my suitcase. I am assuming because of the zipper, once that is wet it would probably leak.

Sukhraj,I poured some water on my backpack and it did run off. When I put my hand on the inside, I could not feel any wetness. The small phone/ipad pocket on the top would not be water-proof, but its is sealed-off from the other compartments. The fabric is pretty tight, so spraying a water-proofing agent on it would certainly help.

No it doesn't leak. I have had this water bottle on its side in the same bag as my laptop - no issues.

Not likely, if water leaked in large amounts and was left in the bag, it would be a remote possibility. I own the bag, and have never had a problem. Make sure the water fill port is properly sealed on the hydration bladder and you should be fine.

If left outside, then turning it upside down means the zip will sit in water and not a good idea. I have not had any leaks from my item since purchase.

Sorry it will leak if you try to travel with it. I tried a water test with it and the top container with it only filled half way and it leaked in a walking carry test and if tipped will leak badly. The lower containers are just as bad, I would suggest a real thermos is best for soup. This container is great for snacks and other solid foods. Sorry
