Give Me Your Best Insulated Cup Comparison YETI, Ozark Trails and RTIC

They aren’t porous like plastic tumblers so they won’t stain or retain odors. There is a notch to stop the straw from coming out of the drink but it doesn’t make it leak proof. I wiped the tumbler down with rubbing alcohol to make sure there was no grime or oil on the surface of the tumbler. I aligned the vinyl with the top of the tumbler and carefully smoothed out the transfer tape.

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 started the test first thing when I got to the office and was waiting for hours on end. By the time I left the office about eight hours later, the ice still wasn’t entirely melted and the water levels in both tumblers seemed to be at the same level. The ice in the Orca Chaser melted at the 11 hour 35 minute mark for second place in the test. But the ice melted fast as the side of the smaller tumbler took a lot of heat.

The Ozark Trail tumbler won our second ice retention challenge, this time but a wider margin. It held ice in brutal Alabama August heat for 12 hours and 42 minutes. One reason the Ozark Trail tumbler held ice so much longer may be due to the fact that the sun was so low in the sky. For the last hour, the tumbler was not being blasted by direct sunlight anymore. After seeing the previous test story, several folks asked me how these tumblers stack up on a really hot day outdoors.

Now, to be more competitive with Yeti, they have a wide range of colors and styles. If you are looking for more of a traditional Yeti cup with a handle, there is the Yeti Rambler Mug. Tumblers enable office workers to enjoy their beverages hot and cold. Unfortunately, like most all water bottles and tumblers, they are made in China. Although the Ozark Trail Tumbler is not dishwasher safe, it is very easy to clean by hand washing. Most important – is the popular Stanley Quencher Tumbler spill proof?

Running from sizes 14 oz ozark trail canopy to 64 oz, this tumbler keeps drinks cold for 8 hours. All of the tumblers had the same 27 ounces of crushed ice and were placed in the sun in a straight line so all received the same amount of sun, heat and breeze. After a brief rain shower around noon, the sun came out and stayed out.

So it’s easy to use one-handed, while you’re driving or on the treadmill. The press-in lid creates a seal around the mouth of the tumbler, and that cut some of the leakage when we knocked over the cup, but of all our picks, it did leak the most when this happened. This tumbler comes in fewer colors and capacities than our other ozark trail canopy picks.

The slim Everyday Tumbler tapers toward the bottom (its base measures 2.5 inches), so it’s compatible with most cupholders we encountered. Cupholder sizes vary depending on an automobile’s make and model, so it may not fit in every car’s cupholder. But with its tapered, 2.8-inch base, the Simple Modern tumbler fits into my Subaru’s cupholders, and it also fits into the treadmill cupholders at my gym. Of all the tumblers we tested, the 24-ounce Simple Modern Classic Tumbler offers the best combination of performance and value.

Double-wall insulated tumblers are all the rage and for good reason! They can keep drinks cold or hot for hours, which can truly be a lifesaver whether you’re on the road, in the car, at the office, or at home. Ten hours into the test and the sun is not straight overhead but hitting the broader surface area on the side of the tumblers. The pavement temperature has fallen to 134.7deg but the external temperature of the tumblers has soared. The Yeti external temperature has risen to 126.5deg, the highest external temperature recorded all day.
