Whether it is an extremely hot day and you want to keep your drink cold during a day at the beach, or if it is an extremely cold day and you want to keep your hot chocolate nice and hot while you are traveling during a winter storm, having a multifaceted tumbler comes in handy in both cases. There are plenty of outdoor oriented companies that sell tumblers that excel in both temperature extremities, but we have picked out some of our favorite outdoor companies and stacked their tumblers against each other to see what materials are used during manufacturing and how well they perform. We wanted to know what is the best tumbler. So, we compared Yeti tumbler vs RTIC tumbler vs Ozark Trail tumbler vs Orca tumbler and more.

Quick Tips

• 18/8 Stainless Steel – All of the tumblers that we compared were made of the very same grade of 18/8 stainless steel.
• 20 oz. & 30 oz. are the most common sizes
• Sweatproof – All of the tumblers we looked at were sweatproof.
• Performance – All of the tumblers performed nearly identically.
• Price – Prices ranged from $39.99 (Yeti) to $9.74 (Ozark Trail). We found the cheapest model to perform equal to the highest price model. We recommend the Ozark Trail as the best tumbler for the money.

Top Best Tumblers For Sale

Yeti Rambler Tumbler

The first brand that we tested was the Yeti tumbler. The Yeti name is synonymous with quality and luxury in the world of outdoor activities, so I was really excited to try out the Yeti tumbler. Featuring a tried and true double wall vacuum insulation, the Yeti Rambler tumbler can keep cold drinks the coldest and hot drinks the hottest. Created from high quality 18/8 stainless steel, you won’t have to worry about your Yeti Rambler sweating, due to its no-sweat technology. Available in a wide variety of different sizes and the ability to be customized, the Yeti Rambler is a good choice, but probably gains the most attention because of the Yeti name. Like all things Yeti, this tumbler is a bit higher in the price range, with the standard 30 ounce Rambler coming in at an MSRP of $39.99.

RTIC Tumbler

The next tumbler that we decided to try was the 30 oz. RTIC tumbler. This tumbler also has the double wall vacuum insulation that keeps your drink at the optimal temperatures, and no sweat technology. The RTIC tumbler had all of the features of the Yeti, including the coveted 18/8 stainless steel. The only real difference was that it was half the price with an MSRP of $14.99.

Ozark Trail Tumbler

Next, we tried the Ozark Trail tumbler, which performed just as well as all of the other tumblers, but was definitely the most affordable. Ozark Trail’s 30 oz. tumblers can be found at Walmart or other department stores for under $10, and there is word going around (unconfirmed, mind you) that both Yeti and Ozark Trail are manufactured in the same factory. This was our favorite choice of the bunch. We found that the only reason someone would ever go for the Yeti Rambler is for the name alone since it had virtually no difference in the manufacturing and performance of the other choices as far as we could tell.

Titan Tumblers And Geyser Tumblers

We also tried the Titan 30 Oz. tumbler which had all the same qualities as the Yeti, RTIC, and Ozark Trail tumblers, except its pricing comes at around $12.99. The 30 Oz. Geyser tumbler also comes in at $12.99. After having compared all of these different tumbler brands and models, we soon began to realize that none of them have much of a difference between the construction and their performance. They all shared the same basic design, construction materials, performance, and sizes. The only difference that we could find was their price.

Orca Tumbler

While most of the tumblers that we looked at were 99% the same, the only exception was the Orca Tumbler. Orca’s Chaser Tumbler functions and performs essentially the same as the rest, and it too is made from 18/8 stainless steel. However, what makes the Orca Tumbler unique is it’s size and color choices. The Orca Chaser Tumbler is comes in many powder-coated color options, such as red, salmon, green apple, purple, blue, gray, yellow, and several more colors. Also, while most of the other tumblers were either 20 oz. or 30 oz., the Orca Tumbler is 27 oz. While the color options make them unique, at almost $25, only you can decide if the Orca Tumbler is worth the extra money.

Best Tumblers Conclussion

In conclusion, we feel that all of these tumblers look, feel, and perform the same. We suggest opting for the Ozark Trail tumbler if you are looking for practicality, affordability, and peak performance in the temperature retention of your beverages. We feel this is the best tumbler for the money because it has all of the same qualities and features as even it’s most expensive competitor, they have excellent reviews on both Walmart’s site and Amazon, and they can be found in most Walmarts, or on Walmart’s website for under $10.

So what is the best cooler with wheels out there? When evaluating what are the best wheeled coolers on the market it is important to note the necessary components that make a great wheeled ice chest. Portability, sturdiness, ease of mobility and ice retention are all important aspects that should be looked into when finding a premium cooler with wheels.

I’ve used quite a few different brands that have coolers with wheels, but during my research I found that the two most reliable brands that have wheeled coolers are Coleman and Igloo. Both manufacturers boast trusted reputations as well as affordability, but what specific models are the cream of the crop when it comes to coolers with wheels?

Igloo Island Breeze Cooler With Wheels

The extreme affordability of the Igloo Island Breeze wheeled cooler, almost seems like it is too good to be true. However, Igloo’s Island Breeze not only will save you a nice amount of money in comparison to the other wheeled coolers on the market, but it also excels in all of the aforementioned components.

The Igloo Island Breeze has a thick, premium insulation that offers an impressive amount of ice retention, even on the hottest days. The Island Breeze model also has a great amount of compatibility and mobility because of its convenient features. The telescopic handle is retractable and can be released with a push of a button. The two sturdy wheels on the cooler, make the movement of the Island Breeze nice and smooth.

The Best Cooler With Wheels: Coleman 100 QT Xtreme 5

Coleman has a nice selection of different coolers to choose from, but when it comes to top quality wheeled ice chests, the 100 QT Xtreme 5 is definitely the front runner.

The 100 QT Xtreme 5 can fit up to 160 cans, which makes the 100 QT Xtreme 5, the ideal wheeled cooler for large gatherings. A large gathering often means that your cooler will be spending a long time in the sun, so ice retention is a huge part of what makes this the best cooler with wheels. The extremely thick insulation and Xtreme technology can keep ice up to 5 days in temperatures that can reach up to 90 degrees! The ThermoZONE insulation contains no CFCs, HFCs, or HCFCs, which damage the ozone, making this cooler not only sturdy, but also environmentally-friendly.
