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.

They're definitely water resistant. We've been in a few light rains and drizzles with them. I can't say how long they might keep the water out in a downpour.

They are air tight. I use them to store yeast and have never had a problem.

No, they are a knit material and water will penetrate. You shouldn't have wet hands, either.

Hmm, I'm not sure. They are plastic with regular zippers sewn in them. I would think some air could get in, and they would not be air tight.

There is a rubber seal on the inside of the plastic lid. Some of them still leak. I certainly would not call them airtight.

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

Not fully. They've gotten wet and survived on mine. But they ran a little different and noisier after I did.

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.

They are self contained and should have no problem on a boat. Unit is sealed. Read q/a on this b4 and others state it is water tight. Good luck.

I can't answer 100% as I only use them on beach. These are perfect on beach as flexible and not too tight. However, I would think in a fast water stream you would need something stiffer and tighter so they would not come off as easily

They are totally waterproof, and I have used them both ways. Hope this helps.

No they are not. They are very quick drying, and do shed water somewhat, but are not meant to be a waterproof layer.

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

After a brief look at the ones in your link, it appears they are water resistant. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

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.

Yes, its water tight. There is a rubber seal. I submerged it overnight and no water got in. I own a bunch of them.
