Something that has been all the rage lately is vacuum sealed stainless-steel drinkware. There are a few brands that have competition, some of the brands are Yeti, RTIC, and other brands that are very similar to this drinkware.

Why people buy these products is because they claim to keep your drink hot or cold for a long period of time. I am here to test their claims and see which brand can hold ice the longest.

I am comparing a Yeti 30 oz tumbler, an RTIC 30 oz tumbler and an Ozark Trail 30 oz tumbler. These products all have a different price range with Yeti being the most expensive ($39.99), RTIC being almost half the Price of a Yeti ($14.99) and the Ozark trail being the least expensive ($9.74).

All of the cups look very similar, but the Ozark Trail felt heavier than the others weighing in at 402 grams versus the RTIC and Yeti which weigh in at 357 grams (Yeti) and 364 grams (RTIC).

To put these cups to the test I put  two cups of ice in each cup and monitored the ice for six hours checking the progression every hour. In the first hour, nothing really happened to either of the cups, but I did notice that the ice was slowly melting. However, not a significant amount was lost.

During the second hour, RTIC still had no significant loss, but Yeti had 1 ¾ cups of ice and Ozark had 1 ½ cups of ice left.

During the third hour, RTIC has 1 ¾ cups of ice, Yeti had 1 ½ cups of ice and Ozark had 1 ¼ cups of ice.

In the fourth hour, Yeti had 1 1/ cups of ice, RTIC had 1 ½ cups and Ozark had 1 cup.

In the fifth hour RTIC 1 1/8 , Yeti 1 1/16 and Ozark had a little less than 1.

And finally, in the final hour  RTIC had 1, Yeti had 1 and Ozark had ¾ of a cup.

I think it is very interesting how close the RTIC and the Yeti are in competition and also how well Ozark Trail is for its price. If I were to personally rate these tumblers on a rating system out of five stars I would rate the Yeti a 5, the RTIC a 5 and the Ozark Trail a 4.
