Two Questions: #1. How strong are the lids? If I drop it will they pop off? #2. Will these work outside in the rain without getting moist inside?

The lids are a strong plastic. I have dropped many but have yet to break one. However, I can see that they could break if dropped at the right angle on a hard floor. I have also found them to be completely waterproof when sealed (you have to push on the lid until it clicks shut - otherwise it is not really sealed shut)

These are great quality, I don't believe the lids will pop off if you drop them and (although I can't imagine why they'd be left in pouring rain) I believe they will stay rain-water resistant :)

The lids are very sturdy! I just drop in my purse and go one. No spills or leaks. Also, they are air right so no moisture will get in. They are amazing.

Lids are very strong. I've dropped them full of food before and they stay on. The lids also snap on tight - so yes in the rain they would keep water from getting inside.

As long as you've closed the lid properly it won't pop open. Moisture will not get into the container. Theses are the best containers so far and easy to clean. The lid is in two pieces.

They do have a protective coating on them of some sort. I have mine under a covered patio, but I do think they would hold up to moisture and rain.

I have not had a problem with rain. I do keep them closed during the summer since the humidity would be much higher outside than in the crawl space.

It has rained since we have installed these but not a heavy rain. But so far, they are fine. They are very heavy duty. I think they will be water safe.

I have mine outside in an unprotected area, doesmn't sem to affect them. Might be a good idea to protect them though,m just a rain shield or something. AJ

Yes and no. They do work in the rain and I did see that they accumulated a little water but it eventually evaporated. If they can hold up to heavy Florida rain, I am sure sprinklers would not be a problem.

Totally. Ours are used outdoors to block off a certain walk way. However I wouldn't leave them out in the rain.

Not sure because I have never dropped them in the water or had them in the rain, however I do believe they would be waterproof by the way they are made. Sorry I could be of know more help to you in this matter.Regards,Terry L. Shook

If it is a large downpour, yes. They are better than most I have seen with repelling the water and drying pretty fast. We try to keep our turned over if we know it is going to rain. I love the ones that I got (floral print)

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.

can also pull them off with a little effort. I also bought the WalMart "Better Homes and Garden" container w/ the flip lock lid and I can do the same with a little more effort. I've had them for 6 mos. they both seem to keep things fresh and bugs out. (I live in Florida). They also look nice on the counter.

Absolutely not. I had some that got a little wet, and I noticed they will probably fall apart pretty quick. I used them indoors at a flea market, and they work great for that. Sun, rain, weather, will probably not have them around long. As someone else pointed out you will probably want some sort of plastic tag with a Sharpie.

If they are outdoor, they should be waterproof, Right? But they don't see to be. All three that I ordered have quit working in the first week probably due to high humidity and some rain.

They seem to hold moisture as well as any container. With all container gardening, you have to water a lot more than you would for an in-ground garden. I haven't had any problems with the bags seeming drier than other containers I'm using, and my tomatoes are doing just as well in the bags as the pots.

I just filled one up with water then gave it a pretty good shaking and not a drop came out, but I don't think they were made to use for food on the go...The lid is not a deep lid, it's just right around the very top part of the jar/glass, so if it gets moved just a smidge, anything liquid in it, will be out of it :)

They are light weight and well made. The lids are plastic and while in use are not tighly sealed. You should be OK.
