I bought four different types of these tumblers. Yeti, RTIC, Orca, The Beast. The Beast was by far the worst. It would sweat profusely and ice would melt within a a couple of hours. Orca was was decent, but the ice still melted within a few hours inside my truck. The Yeti and RTIC keep my Diet Coke ice cold and maintain ice on the same level. I will say I prefer the slide lid on the Yeti as opposed to the flip lid on the RTIC
I have the RTIC Cup and what I hate about it in the lid/cover. It is so hard to get off, that I loose my patience with it. Looking for something with an easier lid to deal with.
Note that Yeti now has the better lid with the mag slider, which is easy to remove for cleaning and probably helps insulation a bit. I ordered a number of these for all my insulated cups of various brands (Yeti, RTIC, and Ozark Trail). They all work fine for me since I don't let my beer or coffee sit around 4 hours before I drink them.
I heard (do not know if it is true) that RTIC was made by the husband of the woman who had Yeti when they got a divorce and that they are both exactly the same except for the price. The ice was almost no difference at all. So even though I have many Yeti’s, I would go with RTIC from now on.
TrekTumblers has a replacement lid for these at 2.99 each and have a slide closure like most tumblers. 2.99 This Premium Slash Proof Lid has been designed and crafted to perfectly fit any 30oz TREK, RTIC, YETI, SIC or Ozark Trail Stainless Steel Tumbler. There is are small holes on top of lid that will allow airflow for smoother drinking experiences without annoying splashing.
We ship these every summer at my fed ex hub the yeti tumbler well worth the price have yet to buy one though😑Great review 👍Hello austin tx and hello from texas also🤘
But why buy a Yeti when you can get a tumbler with the same performance for half the price or even less? That alone makes the Yeti not worth the price. The only difference I see is perceived status some attach to the Yeti.
Ffollies Yeti is the pioneer. They came up with the product. Rtic literally copied them. Plus you can wash a yeti in the dishwasher and rtic you can not.
To do this truly accurately, you should have EXACTLY amounts of liquid and ice added at the exact same time and capped at the exact same time. Also, the cups themselves could have been at different start temps depending how long you let them sit after washing them with warm / hot water. BUT, I still don't think it'd make a difference with products that are made almost exactly the same way. Spend less and who cares about brand names. RTIC for me.
Exactly, should have put identical numbers of ice cubes in each and measured the water in a graduated cylinder. Eyeballing it in some glassware isn't scientific at all. When he first poured the water I was expecting him to call it a tie.
@@LordRahl74 same here. But some customers are also brand loyal and will NOT leave yeti. No matter what. Which I find funny since my rtic tumblers are just as good lol.
I hope you have updated your test as it was a pretty good comparison video. The 20 and 30oz RTICs I own both have locking hinged lids. Not sure what kind of lids the anti-gun brand, YETI has... But will look for an updated vid by you sir. Good job.
I think that when it comes down to the fine line it's what people prefer. Just like anything else in life you get what you pay for. I don't think that ozark trails have the same warranties that yeti does and not sure about RTIC but I could be wrong. The only thing about this that bothers me good sir and it's quite disturbing is why in the world would anyone put beer out to sit and get warm well unless it's Pabst
In summary what I have l learnt as to why to go with Yeti: 1: Rubber seal longivity 2: Magslider preference 3: Dishwasher safe 4: Less denting on the base of the product (hard on hard surfaces) 5: Lasting color
You want a realistic test?? Leave them both next to a pit. In what world are you using an RTIC/Yeti at room temp??? Or fill them both with gas station coffee, and drive for 2-3 hours in the morning.
I'd bet they both perform very similar. There are other videos doing similar tests between Yeti tumblers and other brands and they're all pretty similar. Seems like all stainless steel tumblers are similar in performance.
I have my Yeti since they came out, still going strong and works flawlessly every time. Now there are really good knockoffs. like Ozark Trail, Mossy Oak, RTIC. Etc.... nothing wrong with competitors. just brand preference and money.
Seems like pretty much all stainless steel tumblers are very similar in build and performance. You really pay for the brand name when you buy a Yeti. I've had my tumbler for about 2 years and it's still going strong too and it only cost me $15. BTW why do you think the other brands are knockoffs of Yeti? It's not like Yeti invented the stainless steel tumbler.
Doesn't the Yeti have a lifetime guarantee tho? I like the quality of their rubber seals and magnetic slider lids. I'll pay 10 bucks more or so for better quality even if it does the same thing, b/c 10 bucks isn't going to break my bank. To each their own I guess...
It took me a while to see the value in the YETI. My RTIC cup keeps my drinks iced just as long as my YETI cup. It took a year of in service to see why the YETI is double in price. The YETI is more dent resistance that’s why. You say the small dents don’t bother you that bad? They just happen to occur on the bottom of the cups were they need to be perfectly flush to sit properly. There you go the truth is out. YETI is the better made tumbler for that reason only.
yeti is totally overpriced. Its a status thing to own a yeti. Some people are into that some people aren't. I personally spent the extra just to own a yeti. I will say some people have said that the rubber ring on the inside of the cups does not hold up as well with the other brands. just something to think about.
For me it comes down to were it's made. Yeti use to be made in Rochester, NY they moved to Texas due to Tax reasons. No Idea were the RTIC is made probably China I would guess ?
I agree, let's support our own! RTIC are made in China. Yeti now looks like combination based on product: Our Tundra coolers are manufactured in the USA at facilities located in Minnesota and Wisconsin as well as at a facility located in the Philippines. Our Hopper coolers, Panga duffels, and Rambler drinkware are manufactured in China. The LoadOut 5 gallon bucket is manufactured in South Carolina.
This review was good until the end when he says it depends how much money you want to spend. The first test appeared to be a tie but even if it had a quarter ounce more the RTIC is clearly the winner since you can buy 2 RTIC’s for the price of 1 Yeti. Are there people out there that want to spend more money for the same results? Dumb
Hi Kevin - absolutely, this is why Yeti exists and why they dump tons of money into their marketing. They are a 'lifestyle' brand and smart consumers gladly pay double for a product just because they emotionally relate to the product. Oh, and that cool sticker.
Coffee in the morning, beer in the afternoon. Sounds like a well balanced life.
thats TeXAs foR yoU
Pretty much was my dads life lol
Well, you can't get a more straight forward comparison test than that, showing clear data. Is the Yeti worth $15.00 more than the RTIC? I think not.
Price difference is even more now. RTIC always has sales.
The Biggest difference is that the RTIC is not dishwasher safe and Yeti is, you pay for convenience of upkeep. I like them both tho.

I will say I prefer the slide lid on the Yeti as opposed to the flip lid on the RTIC
my guess is if the ice would have been exact and melted water was weighed ...would have also tied on that test.
Thank you. I was about to get the Rtic because of price, but I got a Yeti as a present. No complains.
The one big difference is the YETI can go in the dishwasher and the RTIC is hand wash only.
Not true they're dish washer safe brother
Did you use the same amount of ice like X# of cubes? For the ice test?

Great comparison. I bought the RTIC 30 oz on sale at $12 US as a gift for my wife. I think she will really enjoy this tumbler.
What is the weight on each tumbler?
I heard (do not know if it is true)
that RTIC was made by the husband of the woman who had Yeti when they got a divorce and that they are both exactly the same except for the price. The ice was almost no difference at all. So even though I have many Yeti’s, I would go with RTIC from now on.

I just picked up a nearly new condition 30 oz black Rtic at Goodwill for $1.99 :)
@@laurabaumeister1826 Got mine at .50 cent!
I use Rtic tumblers for my laser engraving business and they are well made. 100% satisfaction from all my customers.
@@LordRahl74 same here. But some customers are also brand loyal and will NOT leave yeti. No matter what. Which I find funny since my rtic tumblers are just as good lol.
Just bought an RTIC 40oz Tumbler 14.99 in 2021
Can you share the link please
About as scientific a test as you'll find on TH-cam. Bravo.
The variation in the first test was the ice.
for the price of one yeti you can get yourself and your wife a nice couple of equally good tumblers
RTIC handwash, Yeti Dishwasher
Handwash a cup tooks less tan a minute, I don't see the value of the $15 extra for dishwasher safety.

Wait, they're anti-gun?! I just got one and put my Yeti sticker on my suv. 😢

Haha, well said! I actually have a beer fridge and grabbed a horrible beer that was in the back.
Actually I think Ozark has a lifetime warranty, RTIC is 7 years and Yeti is 5 lol, exact opposite of their price lineup lol
Who takes 4 hours to drink a beer
Not me! But sounds better than water. Happy New year!

It’s like do you want imitation air pods or real air pods ?
Who the hell's beer lasts for 4 hours???
U need to do same color!

For people with jobs*
well damn that hit hella close to home 🤷🏼♀️
LOL damn bro. As I’m read this comment I had crocs on and costas on my head. I work in the pool industry. Guess I’m a damn tool.
Rtic is for the trolls that don't know the difference in we're and wear.. Just sayin'
Hey, I represent that remark! More money than brains I guess. Better than the alternative.
The problem is we have so many choices in this world and we have a problem with that 😄
walmart has these for $5
Test for leaking.

Just wear a boot
Is that coffee or tea

Harry Smith wish I read this before ordering mine
Harry Smith same as owning an iphone its a status thing
rashonda paige wELLL not really because really no other phone is made like that
At least you made an informed decision when you bought your Yeti unlike others who insist Yeti is of better quality than cheaper brands.
@@chloegraves3516 You're correct, because there's _so_ much better options than an iPhone. So I'm glad no other phone is made like it.
I will by a Yeti when pigs fly at 40,000 feet at 1000 MPH. Up your Yeti !!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is mad for no reason..
Should've used separate thermometers, those are inaccurate readings.....

Yeti tumblers are now made in China from what I've heard. Anyways why does where it's made matter? Isn't all about performance?
Ffollies I agree with what your saying but at the same time i like to support just about everything American made!
Umm... Yeti tumblers are China made. Their coolers are made in the good ole USA. Sorry.
They both made in china so obviously Yeti is shit cause they think their product is so much better 🤣💀
"Bought a Yeti I''m a Fool" stickers available, hit up

Yeti is just over priced China made vacuum tumblers. It sucks those yuppies in every time!
