I found some on Amazon and I get them tomorrow. 20$ for 20 of them.

Whats the best y'all have found?

Leak PROOF would be nice.. but I haven't found anything that's truly leak proof yet..
 
I just buy the disposable ones on amazon. you can get like 15 or 20 of them for $14 usually. They do not leak but I would not pack them upside down or fill them with water.
 
The Amazon containers I bought sucked they broke when I pressed them down next time I want reuseable im gunna pay the price

i buy the disposable ones at the grocery store, use them til they look like shit then buy new ones..
i never had mine leak.. what are you doing with them that they would leak?
 
I have different ones (sizes) for bulking or cutting. For cutting the basic snap on lid ones such as fitpacker, gladware, etc work fine. i use the 4cup containers since they still fit in my various 6pack bags. for bulking I use 8 cup snap-lock containers that are definitely leak proof. the top snaps down on all 4 sides. I've used the same ones for years without any issues.
 
I have an ISO meal bag and bought a bag of 30 containers at Costco for like 15.00 that fit it. Look the same and work the same . Not leak proof but they don't turn upside down in the bag.

The ones you are getting are pretty good. The portions are a little small but for the price they work well.
 
Got an ISO bag also . Been using it for close to 2 years . I use the containers that come with it which are basically the cheap take out containers . I also ordered a stack of them . The ISO Lunch box is the ticket. I've had 2 meals in it and I've had 8 meals in it of various sizes . The only thing I changed is the Ice packs .

Did you find better ice packs? I use the ones that come with it but for a full day they give out.

I found the blue ones that will fit in the slots on the side and put a larger blue square one in the middle. They have them at Walmart . I work in a cab over Isuzu Npr with a broken AC . It sits on the floor all day and are still pretty good when I get home . I eat a meal at 6:30 that has been in there all day.

Bingo. I think snapware is garbage, fuck those things. They claim they're top rack safe but the lids always end up taking a shit within a couple months. It's more cost effective to just buy the ones at the grocery store/Walmart and toss them when they're done.
 
They say microwave safe. I've unhooked the lid but left it in place and microwaved a full container on high for 3 minutes until my food was hot AF. I have not noticed any issues, but it may be related to loosening the lid for steam to escape.

TBH, I like these things but I really wish they were a little thicker plastic. Everyone is trying to get away with super thin plastic containers these days, and they just feel a little flimsy to me.

I bought them because they are the same size as the containers that come with a Six Pack Fitness cooler but I haven't actually purchased the cooler yet. It's possible the name brand containers are a little sturdier.

6 pack has upped their container game since they first came out. one of my bags is like 4-5 years old and i threw the containers away that came with it they sucked so bad and my latest backpack that i bought came with 4 side snap lock lids. a HUGE improvement. i still replaced those with bigger containers though.
