They aren’t necessarily meant to be multi-day cups, so I think they all performed really well. On the other hand, the Ozark Trail tumbler is made of high-grade, double-walled stainless steel and is vacuum-sealed—so pretty much the same as the Yeti. It’s also BPA-free and has a “no sweat” design, but doesn’t have a slider on the lid. The Yeti coffee mug has an easy-to-use handle much like a coffee cup does. These come in various sizes, including 10 oz, 14 oz, and 24 oz.
Double wall insulation and double wall lid keeps liquid hot ozark trail tumbler and cold longer compared to previous tumbler. This vacuum-sealed, stainless steel tumbler will prove to keep your cold drinks cold longer than 12 hours, and hot drinks hot. The 18/8 stainless steel gives it a clean palate, and doesn’t leave behind any metallic taste.
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. However, if you are simply looking to ozark trail canopy be able to tote your drink while keeping cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot, without using dangerous plastics, the Ozark Trail tumbler is the way to go. Neither the Ozark Trail nor the Yeti are designed to be leak proof, unlike insulated stainless steel water bottles.
You can take the straw out and close the tab, which will help. It’s worth noting that the Ironflask does not have that capability. 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.
It is made with stainless steel with vacuum-insulated walls designed for regulating ambient liquid temperature. It is really nice to be able to grab a sturdy handle to carry them around. I don’t necessarily think one is better than the other, and they are all high enough that they can still fit in a cup holder. This brand is made with the same type of 18/8 food grade stainless steel as the Yeti, RTIC tumbler and Ozark Trail. I imagine this is because of the vacuum seal; however, the directions for the Yeti tumblers say they can be put in the dishwasher, including the lid. 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.
The 22oz Ozark Trail Tumbler is what most people think of when they are envisioning a coffee tumbler. The size is well suited for any coffee drinkers hand and it holds just the right amount of coffee to keep you from going over board and maxing out on your caffeine intake for the day in one sitting. This tumbler is the perfect size for any cup holder and has a sleek design. One difference I noticed is that the YETI brand specifically states dishwasher safe and Ozark Trail says to NOT place in the dishwasher. However, we have personally washed the Ozark brand water bottles and tumblers in the dishwasher at my house without issue for years.
When they were first released, the only option was stainless steel. Now, to be more competitive with Yeti, they have a wide range of colors and styles. The two tumblers are also very good in keeping beverage cold.
With the locking lid, there appears to be more heat transference than the open mouth lid. Even with the locking lid absorbing more heat, it does provide a few degrees more heat retention over time. 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.
You can use the lid of the Ozark to seal the Yeti tumbler, and vice versa. Using a thermal imaging scope from ATN, I filled one of the 22oz mugs with water boiled to 185 degrees Fahrenheit and another filled with water boiled to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. I tested the temperature using a Weber meat thermometer which was $15 off the shelf. I used plain water which I boiled to temperature and placed inside each of the Tumblers and immediately closed with the provided lids.
They’re also leakproof making them easy to take with you throughout your day. Because it is cheaper and practically does everything that the Yeti Tumbler does, it is not surprising that Walmart’s Ozark Trail tumblers are selling fast. Perhaps most famous for the popularity of the Yeti tumbler, many people refer to their Yeti as a cup instead of a tumbler.
