Ok so I watched the video here for the Yeti Rambler and thought it would be a good choice for use while driving. After watching several side by side comparison tests with the Ozark trail tumbler which costs about $30 less, I'm thinking of going with the walmart knockoff because it looks like they are equal in performance.
I realize Yeti is a sponsor of Eastmans but I just can't bring myself to spend $40 on a drink tumbler.
Does anybody here have one? How is the seal on the lid cause it seems like all the cheapo tumblers I've tried end up being like a dribble cup and you have coffee or whatever on your shirt.

We have both at the camper, and the lids fit both of them and look identical. Seems to keep ice just as long. Probably the same tumbler. Haven't had any problems with the lid leaking.

Two of my brother in laws have the Yeti tumblers, both love theirs. I use both of mine regulary and Ike loves his as the video showed much better than I could. I can't speak to the other brand, have never used it.

I got the RTIC last week. Kept same ice 7 am this morning to 7 this evening. I refilled throughout the day. Now this was driving to work working in office and driving hime. When I got home I emptied Ice and refreshed. I am pretty impressed

I have the Tumbler and two Koozies, they work great cold or hot. Happy with both. FYI I bought mine myself not supplied by Eastmans.

We have an rtic and an ozark trail. The Rtic lasted 1.5hr longer full of ice yet both were impressive. I think yeti better get after some agressive pricing. I wouldn't even consider one with all the good competition these days.

Thanks UH. Ordered 3 RTIC 30 oz tumblers for the $11.99 from amazon. Very impressed with ice retention. Filled with ice and water while siding the house yesterday. Drank all the water out and still had ice left at noon today.
