It is made with stainless steel with vacuum-insulated walls designed for regulating ambient liquid temperature. It is really nice to be able to grab a sturdy handle to carry them around. I don’t necessarily think one is better than the other, and they are all high enough that they can still fit in a cup holder. This brand is made with the same type of 18/8 food grade stainless steel as the Yeti, RTIC tumbler and Ozark Trail. I imagine this is because of the vacuum ozark trail canopy seal; however, the directions for the Yeti tumblers say they can be put in the dishwasher, including the lid. Watching ice melt was probably the most difficult task of the tests I performed—only because it seemed to take forever for the ice to melt in each tumbler.
I also took into consideration how cold or hot to the touch each tumbler was when filled with liquid and tipped each one over to see if they would leak. Stainless steel water bottles have really gone mainstream over the last decade with many buyers opting for this over the plastic water bottles of old. The Ozark Trail 24oz Black Light Weight Stainless Steel Water Bottle can serve so many purposes because of its tight fitting screw on lid. Whether you are going on a field adventure or driving to work, a favorite drink in the morning is indispensable. But the problem I have always encountered is that in the hot summer, the ice cubes in the cold drink quickly dissolve while in the cold winter, the hot coffee quickly cools off.
The water in the Yeti tumbler did cool down slightly slower than the Ozark Trail one, but not enough to cause a significant difference in experience between the two. After extensively reviewing the data from the travel logger, we found that—drumroll, please—the two tumblers performed exactly the same. I’ll pause for shock value, but there’s no real difference between the two other than the price tag and that the Yeti is dishwasher safe. Then I did the same test with cold water from the same coolers.
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. The Ozark Trail Multiforce Multi-Tool is an essential companion for outdoor enthusiasts, DIYers, and everyday tasks. Combining durability, versatility, and convenience, this multi-tool is designed to handle a wide range of jobs with ease.
As an avid outdoorsman, I can say from experience that a hot drink on a cold morning or a cold drink in the blazing heat of a midsummer day is a creature comfort that I can’t live without. I am not only an avid coffee drinker, but I am also the former co-owner of a coffee roasting company, so when I say I take coffee seriously I absolutely mean it. Having such a deep love of a great tasting cup of coffee I am always on the hunt for a thermos to keep my brew in. This is one of the main reasons that I wanted to take a deep dive in to the Ozark Trail Thermos line from Walmart. I really do enjoy a home brew more than a store bought cup of coffee, so having a well functioning thermos is vital to me, no matter what I have planned for the day. Double-wall insulated tumblers are all the rage and for good reason!
According to most user reviews, the Yeti Tumbler can keep hot coffee warm for five to six hours at room temperature. Although the Ozark Trail Tumbler is not dishwasher safe, it is very easy to clean by hand washing. Once the lids are placed on to the Tumblers you can see a bit more in relation to how they work.
You can take the straw out and close the tab, which will help. It’s worth noting that the Ironflask does not have that capability. The 10 hour mark was where the biggest differences began to show. Nothing had ice left, but surprisingly they all maintained a fairly cool temperature. I would say you could expect ANY of these brand to keep your water cold for at least 6 hours, which is really probably as long as you would need them to anyway.
So many of you have recommended your favorites that I had to put them to the test and see which tumbler comes out on top. I ordered 16 of the most popular drink tumblers to compare them side-by-side. Most were recommended by you and others were simply highly rated online. I love being able to use the dishwasher to be sure it’s clean and for the convenience. Ozark Trail and Yeti tumblers are made with stainless steel which is easy to clean.
