Are these air and water tight?

They seem to be pretty air and water tight ... Like with any container, there may be a little leakage, but my lid goes on tight and doesn't move when on. I had to cut holes in my lid for my bread gasses to escape.

Absolutely! The lids fit VERY snugly! Some reviewers even thought they were defective ... too small. But, they're not too small ... just tight. As a matter of fact, I often lift the six quart container by the tab and lid filled with flour. My hands are so dry that they slip on the smooth sides. I LOVE these Cambro containers! I'm planning on adding a few more. One note ... I always hand wash them. I don't even own a dishwasher. So, I cannot comment on how they would hold up if you put them in a dishwasher. BUT ... they hand wash like a breeze!

No, the lid is not tight at all. If I could explain better, the lid when on, will spin. I just use it for rising dough. It basically covers the dough.

Yes, they are air tight. They snap on. I leave the lid cracked open when bread dough is rising. The lid DOESN'T spin.

No. I just tested my 6qt. Added about an inch of water, snapped the lid on, turned it upside down, and it took about 40 sec for a little bit of water to gather on the rim of the lid. I tipped it a bit, and about half a tsp of water poured out. So although the lids are very tight and will not "spin" around, they are NOT air and water tight. Almost- but not quite. Hope this helps.

I would not say they are water tight. I put mine in a Zip lock bag when working the pasture to protect it from dust &/or mud. Don't need to take it out of the bag to use it. No worries.

No they are not. And they very cheaply made. They fill with water when it rains. I do not recommend

The box says yes, but they have not been wet other than light rain. It has seals around all openings and I am pleased with them.

It's pretty air tight but I wouldn't call it water tight. The zippers would leak.

Water tight, very much so. Air tight? Well, sort of. I wouldn't store a gas in them, if that is what you're asking. You don't smell anything if you've got something gross in there (that's happened a few times). But they are probably only about as air tight as a plastic bottle. So, some air is going to escape, it will just be slow. So I guess it depends on what you're planning to use them for.

Yes, they are airtight. I use them though for flavored water, not juicing. They do seal very well.

At least for me, they fit very, very tight. I don't believe leakage should be a problem with these.

I do not believe so. But they are water proof... sealed lightly. You would have to ask the seller specifically. thanks

No. Its not air/water tight. There is no seal whatsoever. The cap is just a cover with a spout for the water. The space for the spout is always open and the water can come out anytime.

Yes, they are breathable and waterproof. My husband uses them and showers with them and they hold up really well.

They are not airtight. Water will not get in. There is no seal, but the lid overlaps the side by 2 inches. The lid also fits very snug. I have used these for about 5 years now. They are very well made (good materials, heavy duty) hold up to lots of abuse and have a lot of space. I put gear I want to keep dry and safe in it and put it in the bed of my truck. I have traveled many thousand miles with these in my truck bed and never had any issues with water leakage no matter what the weather brings.

Yes, but only if the water level doesn't rise about the top of the sock. I used these when snorkeling, so they were fully submerged as soon as I got in the water.

In terms of being Air Tight ,they Are pretty Air Tight . I have Not had any Issues with Moisture at all . I have My Baking Flour in one and has held up just fine . Stays Fresh and Dry .

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.

Good question. I only have used them out side of the water. They fit very snuggly. If I was home now I would test it for you but I am at work. Sorry I could not be of further assistance.

I can't say for certain if the buckets are air tight, but I can say that they snap on securely in four places. In fact I find it difficult to get the covers off when all four points are snapped down tight. When the Department of Agriculture inspected my processing facility they were impressed and commented on the tight lids on these buckets.
