The Yeti Rambler tumbler is made with kitchen-grade stainless steel and has double-wall vacuum insulation. This allows hot drinks to stay hot and cold drinks to stay cold, and it’s “MagSlider Lid” helps prevent heat or cold from escaping but won’t entirely prevent spillage. It’s claims to be BPA-free and has a “no sweat” design, which keeps fingers dry. The sun and oppressive heat continues to bake the tumblers eight hours into the test.
It is hand-wash, but I did wash the lid with no problems. There are a few key features that are really important to me and created a good benchmark of which brands to include. They had to be insulated for maximum chill factor (no one likes a warm drink), include a straw or a lid with room to add your own, fit in a cup holder, and be a large size. I did my best to keep the sizes comparable across brands, so each one has a capacity between 24 to 40 ounces.
For the last hour, the tumbler was not being blasted by direct sunlight anymore. After a brief rain shower around noon, the sun came out and stayed out. At the six hour mark, the pavement temperature soared to 142.4deg. The external temperature of the Yeti rose to 122.9deg, the Orca rose to 110.3deg and the Ozark Trail climbed to 117.3deg. The Yeti has now drained 8 ounces of water, the Orca drained 7 ounces and the Ozark Trail drained 8 ounces.
However, we have personally washed the Ozark brand water bottles and tumblers in the dishwasher at my house without issue for years. 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.
Even though both claim to be leak-proof tumblers, I held both upside down and they both leaked a lot! Because of the handle, for example, you won’t be able to put them into the side pockets of a backpack either. The design is very sleek with a thicker top and narrow bottom. The flexible straw is very convenient, but it is hand wash only. If you prefer the subtly etched silver look to black marking on the silver tumblers, we offer sand blasting! You are able to purchase additional lids both in a spill proof configuration and the open mouth version that comes with the tumblers.
They aren’t necessarily meant to be multi-day cups, so I think they all performed really well. 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. After seeing the previous test story, several folks asked me how these tumblers stack up on a really hot day outdoors. I tested the same three tumblers on one of the hottest Alabama summer days in early August.
If you love espresso or plan to use the Tumbler for a cold beverage, the 10oz Ozark Trail Tumbler is going to be a great option for you. Many outdoorsmen have taken their infield coffee preparation to the next level making pour overs or using a coffee press. If you plan to do something that is more in ozark trail chair line with a high end coffee shop, you should consider this Tumbler. Like most things in life, there is so much more that goes in to your coffee than flipping on your coffee machine. To achieve the optimal cup of coffee you have both a recommended brew temperature as well as a recommended serving temperature. The crazy thing here is that these recommendations were not only provided by a group of hipsters who assembled at their local coffee shop.
Additionally, the bike has ergonomic handlebars and a comfortable saddle for long rides. The Ozark Trail Gravel Bike is designed for versatile performance on both paved roads and rugged trails.

Then I did the same test with cold water from the same coolers. The tumblers are made from 8.8 food grade stainless steel. If you are looking for more of a traditional Yeti cup with a handle, there is the Yeti Rambler Mug. While it cannot be denied that the Yeti Tumbler is a great tumbler for keeping beverages cold or hot ozark trail backpack for an extended period, it is also hard to deny that it is pricey. As such, you’d rather not use both the tumblers as replacement for your stainless steel insulated water bottle.
Tumblers, one from YETI and one from Ozark Trail, to test if there’s a difference that would make me want to spend 4x as much money for the YETI. 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 more affordable brand Ozark Trail. I used a digital thermometer to test the water at 2 hours, 4 hours, 7.5 hours, and 10 hours. We require an $15 processing fee to engrave photos because of the extra steps involved. Not only is the Ozark Trail line of thermoses BPA free but they are also rust proof and feature a sweat-proof design. One of the things that I was curious about was how well the lids performed.
