You can see from the images below that there was consistent ice melt, however two of the three were better performing. As far as color options go, you can purchase this in one of two colors, Greystone which is the one featured in this article and a lighter grey. The constant color feature among the two are the orange rimmed wheels which I don’t love but, it is not a deal breaker. When it comes to the seal, I was again very impressed by this cooler. Cracking this thing open sounds like you are opening the airlock on a spaceship.
Yeti has clearly set themselves apart as the biggest player in the cooler space. Since they launched, they have carved out an incredible market share delivering products across the board from coolers to dog bowls. This cooler, when compared to the Pelican 45Q Elite and Yeti Tundra, has the smallest profile while still providing 45Q internal storage. It features rubber latches which I am a huge fan of for boating applications.
Crafted from robust 18/8 stainless steel with a sleek powder coating finish, this tumbler stands the test of time, resisting scratches, rust, and the mingling of flavors. Its ergonomic handle promises a comfortable grip, making it an ideal companion for any journey. Engineered to fit most car cup holders, it’s the quintessential accessory for the home, office, gym, or while traveling. Experience unparalleled temperature retention, keeping beverages ice-cold for up to 12 hours or piping hot for up to 6, thanks to our cutting-edge vacuum insulation technology.
Like our top pick’s lid, the Everyday Tumbler’s lid screws into the mouth of the cup, creating a watertight seal that doesn’t leak when you knock the tumbler over. And a rubber gasket holds the plastic straw in place, reducing any splashing. Much like our other picks that come with straw lids, the 20-ounce, leakproof Stanley The IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler has a built-in flip straw, for quick beverage access. But unlike the straws on those other picks, the IceFlow’s straw can be tucked away when it isn’t in use. The tumbler also has an easy-to-grip contoured body and a carrying handle built into the lid (rather than jutting from the side), so it fits easily into a backpack’s bottle pocket.
By now you have probably heard of Yeti cups that that claim to keep your drinks cold (or hot) for much longer than typical insulated cups. You might also have seen the YouTube videos that prove that Walmart’s Ozark Trail brand tumblers work just about as well as the Yetis… and cost about 3 times less. Knowing how cheap I am, you guys can guess which version I purchased. The Simple Modern tumbler, the lids, and the plastic straw are all dishwasher-safe.
Yeti Tumbler – We can all agree that nothing beats a cup of hot coffee in the morning. But there are things that can come in the way that may prevent us from sipping that warm beverage, like an urgent staff meeting. During those instances, you’d really want to have a tumbler that can keep your coffee for a long time. There are many tumblers available but two stand out for the quality of their construction, durability, and function. Here’s the Ozark Trail vs Yeti Tumbler review which explains it all. So, the ridiculous hype with the Yeti tumblers last year was just crazy!
This vacuum-sealed, stainless steel tumbler will prove to keep your cold drinks cold longer than 12 hours, and hot drinks hot. The sun and oppressive heat continues to bake the tumblers eight hours into the test. The pavement temperature rose to 144.8deg, the highest temperature measured all day. The Yeti had an external temperature of 111.5deg, the orca 104.7deg and the Ozark Trail was measured at 122.9deg. The Yeti drained a total of 11 ounces of water, the Orca 10 ounces and the Ozark Trail 12 ounces. This is the first time that less than half the ice remained in the tumblers and it was melting fast.
We seem to have a growing supply of tumblers at home and I often wonder if there’s a difference between the higher-end brands like YETI and Walmart’s ozark trail chair more affordable brand Ozark Trail. Actively engages with the outdoor community to continually improve and tailor products to real-world needs. This gravel bike features a lightweight yet sturdy frame that ensures smooth handling and stability.
Though the tumbler and lid are both dishwasher-safe, the one-piece lid has crannies where grime and gunk can build up. Deep cleaning this lid is not impossible, but it takes effort, attention to detail, and a straw-cleaning brush (to scrub the interior of the straw). Airplanes, trains, and other modes of public transportation are not known for cleanliness, and you may prefer not to have your tumbler’s straw exposed at all times. The IceFlow tumbler’s straw folds out of sight—and away from germs and dirt—when you’re not using it.
Combining durability, versatility, and convenience, this multi-tool is designed to handle a wide range of jobs with ease. You will be able to work certain brands and types of straws in it but the lids’ designs aren’t meant for straws as they aren’t circular. In both of these vessels, your drinks will stay hot for hours longer than you will need. We keep a small quantity of other colors/bottles on hand, and can source other colors/sizes for you upon request. If you don’t care about brand names and are pretty careful with spills, I would go with the Ozark Trail tumbler. Other than the lid, it works nearly identically to the Yeti tumbler at a much lower price.
