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.

Yes they are water and sweat resistant but you cannot wear them swimming. You will have to get waterproof for swimming.

Yes they are. I have worn them many hours while hunting in Montana and they are awesome! I have not submersed them in water however in snow, blowing snow, slush, etc they have performed flawlessly! They also seem to breathe well and do not make my hands sweat excessivly. I definately reccomend them!

What do you mean air-tight, they have holes in the top! If you mean do they come with covers, no. You can put a disposable plastic glass (motel type) over the top for a cover, that is what I did.

these are well made, and have a O-ring to keep out rain and weather moisture, but I would not recommend them for underwater, submerged use. good luck

I cant say much on this but I would say NO they are not leak proof or water proof the whole you suck the air out off I"m sure can get water in it, its plastic and I highly doubt its 100% proof.

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 do not believe they are "air tight." If they were I think there would be a bit more resistance felt when closing and locking the box because of pressure on the O-ring. The manufacturer says that they are "water resistant." Were they "water-proof" then they would be airtight.

Not sure, i haven't tried them in water. I think they are water resistant not water proof..

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

No they do not provide a water tight seal. They leak and they began to rust on me.

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

Yes, they are. However, I still sealed everything up with a mylar bag before putting on the lid. They are very high quality buckets/lids that seal up very tight and once sealed, have a one time use pull strip to open them again. The lids will go on again without the pull strip...but I wouldn't think it would be air tight without that strip.

Although I put them on when I was already in the water, I don't think they are waterproof in the sense you inquire about. (They're now in storage, so I can't try them out for you -- sorry.)

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

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

The short answer to that question is: yes. This box is water tight and thus has a compartment full of air. You should be fine.
