If you haven't used any wholesale yeti tumbler or bottle products by Yeti yet they are worth checking out. Yeti has a line of vacuum insulated bottles and cups that take the hot and cold beverage experience very seriously. They are definitely high performing drink ware, but is it worth the price? For a little bit of an investment you get a stainless steel tumbler or bottle designed to keep your beverages at the desired temperature without subjecting your drinking hand to those temperatures. Vacuum insulated technology is nothing new but incorporating it into easy to clean use tumblers is where Yeti is redefining what we should expect from our day to day drink ware.
You might remember Yeti by the high quality coolers they make. Yeti coolers are expensive but super durable and embarrass the competition's performance. The company was founded by two brothers who knew they could make a better cooler than what was out there. They formed their company only around the beverage cooler niche until now. It seems they have taken the same idea towards how people should be drinking their beverages: over engineering the hell out of it, slapping on a seemingly hefty price tag and producing a high quality product. The result is a more expensive product than you would expect for a mere tumbler or cozy....if only these were mere tumblers and cozies.
When wholesale yeti cup introduced their Rambler line it was the tumblers that really stood out. These vacuum insulated tumblers come in three different sizes and are a pretty unique product on the market. They're made out of ridiculously durable stainless steel, designed to keep hot beverages hot and cold drinks cold and can go straight into the dishwasher. As with any quality product, if you are willing to pay for a reliable solution to an every day problem, look at how the outdoor enthusiasts have solved it. For someone who takes a couple hours to drink their coffee in the morning or someone who enjoys putting ice in their cup and actually having it last, the tumblers are the way to go. The ease of use but lack of a spill-proof lid make these ideal for backyard get-togethers, commutes, or the super casual camping trip.
Yeti's most popular product is their Rambler Colster. This is a beer cozy that is not even in the same category as the cheap neoprene cozies that basically only succeed in keeping condensation rings off your patio furniture. The Colster is a vacuum insulated (of course) stainless steel cozy that secures your beer or soda can into place with a screw on ring. Watch the video below to get the full effect.
The biggest drawback to the tumbler is that you can't throw it in your bag and if you knock it over it's, well, over. Companies outside of Yeti have been developing lids for Yeti tumblers that slide closed when you're not drinking. They come in a variety of prices of course with varying quality but it's hard to find any that truly make the drink water tight. It still shouldn't be trusted enough to throw in a bag like you would with a good water bottle.
Another issue with the wholesale yeti coolers size is pretty hefty and top heavy so it can be cumbersome to hold. They do still fit in a standard cup holder, which is genius, but it does leave some portability to be desired. To help out with this issue there are handles available that slip on the cup, or some with a carabiner to secure it to a bag. There are also a few great tutorials online showing how people have made their own handles with parachute cord and rubber bands.
