Learn which Rise Tumbler lids fit which tumblers and how to swap them for a leak-free carry. Diagnose the source of drips and fix them fast.
Quick Answer
Most Rise Tumbler lids are interchangeable between sizes, but the straw and flip lids seal differently. Start by checking the gasket and lid alignment, then swap to the Flip Lid for the best leak resistance on the go.
Why Lid Swapping Works (and When It Doesn't)
Klean Kanteen designed the Rise line with a shared lid diameter, so the 26oz and 36oz tumblers accept the same lids. That means you can buy one extra lid and use it on either tumbler size. The trade-off is that the splash-proof Flip Lid is better at preventing leaks in a bag than the straw lid, which has an open straw channel. If you carry your tumbler sideways or jostle it, the straw lid may still drip even when fully closed.
What the Catalog Facts Tell Us
The 26oz Rise Tumbler comes with a splash-proof Flip Lid, while the 36oz Rise Tumbler ships with a multi-function lid that includes a stainless steel straw. The Flip Lid uses a silicone seal that presses against the rim; the straw lid relies on a gasket plus a straw plug. Neither lid is guaranteed 100% leak-proof when the tumbler is upside down, but the Flip Lid is the better choice for everyday carry in a bag.
Diagnose and Fix Your Leak
- Symptom: Water or coffee drips from the drinking spout or straw hole when the tumbler is tipped or shaken.
- Likely Cause: The lid gasket is misaligned, the straw plug is missing or not fully seated, or you are using the straw lid in a bag where the tumbler tips sideways.
- Corrective Action: Remove the lid and inspect the silicone gasket. Make sure it sits flat in the groove with no twists. For the straw lid, push the straw plug firmly into the straw hole when not using the straw. For the Flip Lid, close the spout cover completely until you hear a click. If the gasket is damaged or missing, order a replacement gasket from Klean Kanteen.
- When to Stop or Choose Another Option: If the lid still leaks after reseating the gasket and closing the spout, swap the straw lid for a Flip Lid. The Flip Lid has fewer leak paths and is the better choice for bag carry. If you need a fully leak-proof seal for an upside-down carry, consider a bottle with a screw-on cap instead of a tumbler lid.

Sip using the included stainless steel and silicone straw or flip open the lid and drink right from the Tumbler. The multi-function lid offers two drinking modes, but the straw channel creates a potential leak path when the tumbler is tipped over.
