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

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!

Both the Ozark Trail tumbler and Yeti tumbler seem to have the same high quality, vacuum-insulation. Therefore, a cup that is sturdy, reliable, warm, cold and easy to carry is very important. We TRY to ship same day for blanks ordered by 10 am CST, but may have to wait 1-2 days for a restock. I used the weeding tool to remove all of the vinyl I didn’t want transferred onto my tumbler. Target has been inclusive of several exclusive summer drops, like the Diane Von Furstenberg for Target collection and the exclusive Prince for Target Pickleball collection. Now, you can shop the Stanley collection at Target, too, featuring new styles and juicy summer colors.

The Ozark Trail cooler is made from polyethylene, which is the most common kind of plastic in use today. The rotomolding process entails heating plastic pellets which coat the interior of a mold while it is spun around in a number of different directions at a very consistent pace. The mold is kept on the move during both the heating and coating phases as well as the cooling phase. The coolers remained in the same location for the duration of the 6 day test, only being opened to snap daily progress pictures. So, I have to say that I was really surprised with how this test turned out.

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.

This vessel is the most affordable of our picks, and it’s the only tumbler that comes with two different lids—a straw lid and a flip-top lid (at no additional charge). I’ll be totally honest, I was not expecting this cooler to be as nice as it was. It’s easy to get caught up in brand perception and often times very difficult to break away from what you think you know about a brand. I used the word “think” intentionally, because what I thought I knew about Ozark Trail was not correct. Ozark Trail is proving to be a really solid competitor for outdoor products. This cooler has a number of features that you would ozark trail chair find on more expensive coolers and a few that you won’t find.

Is Walmart’s Ozark Trail brand a true sleeper, putting out products that deserve much more attention among outdoorsmen? With that question being floated, we decided to travel down the path of discovery and start to take a closer look at Ozark Trail and some of their products. We just completed a review of the Ozark Trail Tumbler line, which is not only budget friendly but also well performing. We employ a stringent quality control process that ensures all our products are defect free at the time of order fulfillment. Exchanges (if applicable) We only replace items if they are defective or damaged upon arrival.

I spend a great deal of time on the water every summer boating and fishing in Northern Michigan. I will often load a large cooler up at the beginning of the week and leave it on my Pontoon packed with drinks and ice. If you have a boat and bring kids or friends on the water, you know that once you leave the dock the requests for drinks start rolling in fast and furious. Sure, you can load a cooler out each morning packed with fresh ice, but it is just so much easier to cut down all that work with a cooler than can keep ice for days on end.

However, we have personally washed the Ozark brand water bottles and tumblers in the dishwasher at my house without issue for years. This set includes a 30 ounce Kitchen Leaders stainless steel tumbler, a sliding lid, straw, straw cleaner, and best of all — the handle too. All in all, both mugs do an incredible job at insulating both hot and cold drinks for hours on end. Additionally, when holding each tumbler, I couldn’t feel any heat or chill through the material, which makes either ideal for drinking exceptionally hot or cold drinks. As stated previously, all of these tumblers are well-built and will keep beverages cold for a long time, even is hot Alabama summer heat. The pavement temperature measured 122deg at the four hour mark.

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.

They’re the same size and shape, are made of stainless steel, and have similar sip tops. The only real physical differences are that Yeti has a slider on the lid and they have different logos adorning the cups (obviously). This tumbler is made with food grade stainless steel and large handle that prevents slipping out of your hand. Stanley cups range from 14 to 64 ounces, so you can fit as little or as much of your favorite drink. They come in various editions, colors, and styles, so you can surely find one that suits your taste.
