Just what the title says- can anyone recommend a water bottle that doesnt leak?

I have bought 3 in the last couple of months and ALL of them leak after a few weeks- either from the cap seal, the drinking spout, etc. They fall on their side on the car seat and the seats wet, I drink and get dribbled on, sideways in the hydration belt and I can feel my back getting soaked. I dont overtighten so the seals are fine and not cut/degraded and I do screw the caps down firmly.

I dont buy cheap- these are not Walmart $4 bottles- they are all int he $12 - $20 range with the most expensive one being recommended at a running store.

Plastic, aluminum, titanium, mithril - I dont care what its made of or how expensive it is (relatively) but I would just like to buy one bottle and be done with it. The only requirement is I would prefer a 24 ounce container.

Thanks!

    I buy bottled water sometimes and just reuse it. Yes, it's a pain to unscrew the cap each time I drink but it doesn't leak. My small hydration pack bottles haven't leaked yet. I buy cheap. Maybe that's what you should try, something cheap

    I have several from different brands that haven't leaked.....
    I buy the water bottles for bicycling from Wal-mart or Performance Bicycle and haven't had any problems.

    My Camelback is good. I've had it for over a year. If anything happens to it, you can email them and they will send free replacement parts.

    Camelback is awesome, both bottles and water backpacks. I have used both and been very pleased. I have also used a cheaper brand... I just cannot remember the name right now but it definitely starts with a N and is very common from running supply stores to super centers like Wal-mart or Target.

    I have a Camelbak as well - it's only 21 oz but it's awesome. I definitely abuse it and it's never leaked.

    I won one of these, and I hate it. Too small, wonky taste, leaks.

    I have a 25 ounce Kor Hydration Vessel - hasn't leaked on me yet, keeps my water cold, black.
    However, since I'm great at winning water.. I also won a Nalegene, narrow mouth, 32 ounces [I'm sure you can get smaller ones.], in grey, that I love love love.
    I like ones that screw on and off.

    Nalgene's All-Terrain-Bottle (ATB) comes in a 22-oz and a 32-oz.
    I've been using them for years and love them.

    * also love the fact that you can replace the top/mouth part

    I'm using a family size orange juice bottle. Sports bottles have always leaked for me.

    GOtta agree with the others... Camelbak... I have a 24oz bottle, I actually got it free when I ordered my Merrell hiking shoes... it never leaks, it has a great little flip top spout/straw and a handy carrying hook. I take it everywhere... gym, hiking, and work
