Hi Folks, are these waterproof? Can liquid leak out of them?Can I take soup to work and not worry about it leaking out in my bag?Thanks!

I bought this set a few months ago mainly because I'd heard about how leak-proof they were. They are leak-proof and wonderful. The one & only time that has failed me is when one of the 4 clicking flaps that seals the top on popped up & a little got out.

They are! I am still amazed by this - even after going through the dishwasher! I often bring soup or juicy fruit to work and it does not leak. Hope that helps!

I cant promise that they are leak proof but definitely leak resistant. If you knocked one over upside down their might be some slow seepage but not much and no real mess to clean. The heavier the liquid the safer you are. Water itself might leak out but probably not soup!

absolutely no leaking. i make soup and store soup in these boxes and put nox into my backpack and go to work on almost daily basis. never had a leaking situation.

The lids are quite well fitting and tight. I'm not going to turn a bowl of soup upside down over my head to prove it but I can say for normal use they keep liquids from spilling ...hold on a minute.Okay, I turned the small bowl half full of water with the lid on upside down over my head and I'm still dry. So, yes the lids are quite nice and tight.

I've taken mine on a number of rides, in good weather and bad. The last time I took them on a rainy trip, they held up well for two days (it rained one day and one night.) The contents inside were dry, so they'll handle the rain. I'm not going to say they're waterproof, since if you drop them in a lake of water the contents will get wet. But they'll be fine in the rain (and mud!) Honestly, they're nice to have. They hold a good amount of gear. Between them, a camelback, and some ultralight backpacking gear, you can easily store what you need too and them some! They'll be going with me again on the C&O Canal this spring/summer. Ohhh, they won't hold a bed roll, they're not deep enough. But a small sleeping bag should fit nicely, mine fit, but then didn't provide for much additional storage (except for the outside pockets.)

I have never had a problem with liquids leaking. I use the smaller sizes in my lunch bags and have never had a leak. The others don't get shaken much unless I'm using them for a marinade, which get shaken gently, but again, no trouble. I like these a lot.

I have not had any problems with them yet. I even put coconut oil in one of them with a lid and keep it in my swim bag. It has not leaked yet.

I have not tried to use them with liquids, but I can say they are tough and if I had a reason to use them with liquid, I would not hesitate. I can say I feel they are very good quality and have held up very well to the storage uses I have used them for. I sealed dry goods then "stuffed" as many as I could into 5 gallon buckets with a lid for long term food food storage. I have not had any problems using them.

The top has a rubber seal and should work to keep in liquids if put in properly. The bottom seals tightly and should hold more thick soups but I wouldn't try swinging it around or anything

I have put wet curries and thick soups in without problem, but every time I have used it for anything that has a real broth (water-like) base has leaked some, but as long as you carry it upright, it works great! So only in a rough situation would I not carry a soup in it, but I use it to carry soups to work.

I have never had one leak. We use for lunches. I have taken them on carry on luggage.. I guess a thermos is another possibility.

I did not have any problems with leakage. I have used them for transporting pickles, making jello shots and putting condiments in to take for lunch.

I don't actually know for sure,but I do believe they are air tight and leakproof because the seal is very tight around the dish. Just make sure when you wash the seal,to let it air dry completely,or stretch the seal outward towards you to wipe clean&dry. I had an experience where I didn't wipe dry the seal and had to throw it out because it turned black. But I do think they are good and air tight and leak proof. Good luck,and I hope this has helped you.

Yes, they are good for hot soup. I bought them specifically to see if I could use them for a soup bar. I haven't had the party yet but I tested them out at home and the lip of the bowl stayed quite cool so you can carry the soup bowl easily. I don't know how they would work with a boiling hot liquid but they worked quite well for soup directly out of a hot crock pot.

No, they are not water tight. If immersed in water they will fill up; and if tipped, any liquid inside will leak out. That being said, they are great bowls for keeping food hot. I bought them for bringing my father hot meals and have been very happy with them.

You can seal soups, but freezing them in a ziploc bag first at least until somewhat firm has worked the best for me. I don't know about the seals, but I am sure if you check their website they would list replacement parts

They are heat resistant so you can handle food. They are silicon on the outside so I would say waterproof in that respect but you could end up with water inside if it goes in where your hands go in and it may not be too comfortable.

Good question, they are water resistant. I have taken them in hurricane weather however and the items were only moist after trip. Good bags for the price but if you want waterproof try the Ortleib brand.

They are plastic but they are extremely durable and i have never had a problem with them. I make soup by pouring boiling liquid in them and they hold up just fine. My biggest advise is that if you are using something that could possibly stain it ex. tomato soup then clean it as soon as possible since cleaning is so easy.
