They are made with food-grade 18/80 stainless steel and are BPA-free.
Vacuum-insulated tumblers keep beverages cold for hours, and you can drink from their spill-reducing lids (through either a sipping port or a straw). These reusable drinking vessels, which have grown in popularity over the past few years, are a great alternative to disposable cups and single-use plastic. If you can’t find our top pick, and you know you’re going to need something with a sipping port, we recommend the 20-ounce Yeti Rambler Tumbler with MagSlider Lid. Its rim has a sloped lip, for easy sipping, and the smooth-operating MagSlider Lid reduces the likelihood of spills when the tumbler is upright. But if you knock it over, this vessel leaks more than our other picks, and it doesn’t keep drinks as cold. Also, it comes with the MagSlider Lid only—if you want to use a straw lid too, you’ll have to buy one.
If you are adding warm drinks to your ice, you will see reductions in the overall length of time your ice will stay cold. So there you have it, when looking at just the ability to keep ice cold over a period of 6 days the Pelican has just slightly won, but we are talking about decimal points. I have to say ozark trail canopy that I am very impressed with the performance of the Ozark Trail 45Q cooler. This cooler is not only smaller in its overall size but also a fraction of the price of the competition.
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.
My own personal beverage drama every summer has really pushed me to do this review. To me, worrying about the temperature of the drinks I have on my boat is the absolute last thing I want to be thinking about when I am heading out on the water. Cooler’s have become somewhat of a status symbol in the outdoors and many equate the bigger brands with better quality. A higher price tag should mean a higher quality product, right?
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 picks.
On the flip-top lid, you can press the mouthpiece cover securely into the sipping port to create a leakproof seal. And though the straw lid is only leak-resistant (given the very nature of straws), it has a rubber gasket that seals snugly around the straw. This double-walled stainless steel tumbler kept beverages just as cold as two of our other picks, the Yeti Rambler and Stanley’s The IceFlow (but not as cold as the RTIC Everyday Tumbler). The Simple Modern vessel also kept hot drinks warmer for longer than our other picks. This tumbler has a sloped lip, which makes sipping easy, and the smooth, lid-locking mechanism is easy to operate while you’re driving. However, this vessel leaks more when it’s knocked over, and it doesn’t keep drinks as cold as our other picks.
