People choose Yeti tumblers and Ozark Trail tumblers because they keep drinks cold or hot for hours. They’re also leakproof making them easy to take with you throughout your day. Just like the other Yeti products I have analyzed in this comparison, the Rambler Mug also sports a very clean, modern, and appealing design. This 32 oz Ozark Trail Tumbler is in my opinion the most versatile of the bunch. One of the main reasons that you are filling a thermos is to enjoy your beverage at the desired temperature over extended periods of time. To that end, you may be out and about for hours which means having more of your favorite drink on hand will be beneficial. After researching products with a cult following at Walmart, I discovered that reviewers swear that this $10 Ozark Trail tumbler works just as well as the Yeti Rambler—at a fraction of the price. 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. In a sheer stroke of luck for this test, we are having a very aggressive heatwave in Southeast Michigan with temperatures around the 90’s during the day and staying in the 70’s overnight. I’m using my North facing deck as the staging area which receives direct sunlight at almost all hours of the day. The primary complaint regards the sip slot on the lid; in this case, it's the lack of a sliding or snap-close cover, which occasionally leads to leaks and dribbles, some owners say. Unless you really care about being able to wash your stainless steel tumbler in the dishwasher, the Ozark Trail tumbler is a more practical option than the Yeti tumbler. Changing beverages won’t be a problem as there will likely not be a residual taste in the tumbler as long as you clean it thoroughly. Moreover, this Yeti cooler comes with a couple of extra features that make it even more useful and convenient. One of these features I particularly liked is the presence of LipGrip handles – carrying this thing around is as easy as it gets. I also liked the model’s T-Rex lid latches, as these keep the Yeti cooler completely sealed at all times and ensure that the lid doesn’t pop off. In terms of build quality, this is a BPA-free mug made out of high-grade 18/8 stainless steel, so you won’t really have to worry about its durability. Unfortunately, it is available in a single color – burnished stainless steel – but hey, it’s four times cheaper than the Yeti Rambler 14 oz mug. The Yeti pink tumblers are available in the 20 oz and 30 oz Ramblers. According to The Wall St. Journal, in terms of maintenance, Yeti Tumblers seem to have an upper hand over its competition as the Yeti is dishwasher safe. You can use the lid of the Ozark to seal the Yeti tumbler, and vice versa. While the lid seals in tightly, there are still complaints about the contents spilling over. Of course, neither of these will replace your best insulated water bottle, which can also hold more than water. There is a united dedication to quality, innovation, and the wild spaces treasured by many. As a collective of enthusiasts, experiences are shared, and the technology and sustainability efforts that allow for responsible enjoyment of nature are celebrated. Here, individuals are not merely observers but active participants in the legacy of adventure, crafting their own memories in the natural world. Therefore, a cup that is sturdy, reliable, warm, cold and easy to carry is very important. So, the ridiculous hype with the Yeti tumblers last year was just crazy! Neither the Ozark Trail nor the Yeti are designed to be leak proof, unlike insulated stainless steel water bottles. The vacuum chamber in a double wall vacuum sealed thermos prevents that convection from occurring and greatly increases the duration that your drink remains at the desired temperature. To that end, I thought I would put a couple of the most common rotomolded coolers up against what is arguably the most budget friendly option on the market, the Ozark Trail 45QT Rolling Thermocooler. 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.
