Double-wall insulated tumblers are all the rage and for good reason! They can keep drinks cold or hot for hours, which can truly be a lifesaver whether you’re on the road, in the car, at the office, or at home. Ten hours into the test and the sun is not straight overhead but hitting the broader surface area on the side of the tumblers. The pavement temperature has fallen to 134.7deg but the external temperature of the tumblers has soared. The Yeti external temperature has risen to 126.5deg, the highest external temperature recorded all day.

Running from sizes 14 oz to 64 oz, this tumbler keeps drinks cold for 8 hours. All of the tumblers had the same 27 ounces of crushed ice and were placed in the sun in a straight line so all received the same amount of sun, heat and breeze. After a brief rain shower around noon, the sun came out and stayed out.
If you haven’t heard of the brand name Ozark, then you should know that it is a company that specializes in outdoor recreation products. We’re testing the quality between high-end YETI tumblers vs. the very affordable Ozark Trail brand from Walmart. Offers high-quality outdoor equipment at competitive prices, making outdoor adventures accessible to all. The Ozark Trail 10-Person Modified Dome Tent offers a spacious, versatile, and weather-resistant design, perfect for family camping adventures. Featuring a large screen porch and easy setup, this tent provides comfort and convenience for outdoor enthusiasts. I love being able to use the dishwasher to be sure it’s clean and for the convenience.
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. The two tumblers are also very good in keeping beverage cold. In fact, when you place the Ozark and the Yeti tumblers next to each other, you would have a hard time figuring out the differences. Of course, neither ozark trail chair of these will replace your best insulated water bottle, which can also hold more than water.
Coupled with a health-conscious PP plastic lid that ensures a 100% airtight seal with its quarter-turn technology, spills and leaks are things of the past. 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 ozark trail tumbler “no sweat” design, which keeps fingers dry.
Pelican is a newer entry in to the world of rotomolded coolers and have taken their own spin on design and function. Overall the Pelican coolers have sharper edges and a bit more of an industrial feel than the competition. One of the first things to note about it’s design is that it has a larger drainage hole and a tethered drain cap, which is a nice feature. I have lost a couple of drain caps in my day which makes the cooler unusable until a replacement arrives. In a sheer stroke of luck for this test, we are having a very ozark trail tumbler 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.
Easy setup is ensured with color-coded poles and pin & ring frame attachment. Additionally, the tent is weather-resistant with a removable rainfly and taped seams for protection against the elements. I have been using the 30 oz Ozark Trail tumbler and the 30 oz Yeti Rambler for a true comparison. We love using a straw to drink from, especially while driving. I like how having this lid adds more versatility to the Yeti and Ozark Trail tumblers. What’s great about this lid is it’s meant to fit a straw as it has a circle opening.
