YETI Rambler 36oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Chug Cap - Leakproof & Durable for Outdoor, Gym, Hiking & Travel (Black)

We have had our fair share of water bottles up to this point, so I feel pretty qualified to give a review. It is easy to clean, the top/lid is a very dense plastic (possibly Delrin), so it's thermal properties are good. It has a matte surface, so it has a good surface to grip. My only concern is how it would hold up to a fall/drop. It has the dense plastic, but it also brittle, so if it falls it will probably break instead of absorbing the impact. I only say that because of its size in comparison to the thickness of the loop/handle, but it would also have to fall directly onto its top, which doesn't seem likely because of the weight of the liquid that would generally be in the bottle. So I guess it's a moot point?! Well, that's my 2 cents, liked it so much I bought another one. Amazon has the best prices as well.I love this drink bottle. I had a Hydroflask that I really liked (32 oz) that I lost, and when I was shopping for a new one came across these discounted Yeti's (37.49 when I ordered). after I bought it I looked at the reviews and saw a lot of people claiming it was a counterfeit. So as soon as I got mine I just put some ice in it (no water/liquid)and let it sit on the counter for 24 hours. after 24 hours the ice had barely melted, maybe only a tablespoon full of water was in the bottle. After my test I washed it and filled it with ice water, now 24 hours later it still has about 50% of the ice remaining and nice cold water. It's legit peopleUsed for drinks and liquid. Durable and easy to maintain. Little smaller than I thought it would be.I have been running this same bottle for 3 years without any issues. I have had it drop out of my car, thrown down the range, and beat on at every turn. It never leaks and keep my water cold for me for days at a time. The only down side is cleaning it is a pain since my hands are too big. Great water bottle and worth the money after all the years it has held up.I was surprised of the quality of this product. I did a 24hr test to see if my water remains cold with ice included and it surpass my hydro flask . My yeti still had ice and my hydro didn't I dropped my yeti once and it didn't dent . Very easy to hold and to drink from with the sip edge design . Love the look the name the quality I wish I could give more of a review on it but sadly someone stole my yeti insulated water jug but my first impression and test were amazing I recommend this product. For ice cold beverages and hotI got this for my husband so he could have cold tea at work. He hates it. It didn't keep his tea cold. I fill it up the night before and it stayed in the refrigerator until he takes it the next morning. After 6 hrs the tea was tepid when he drank it at work. All in all it was a waste of money he says.Update- Now that cold weather has hit he does like that it keeps his coffee hot in the morning. Probably not all day, but he is a heavy coffee drinker. So plus on keeping coffee hot.I don't usually ever take the time to review something I buy online, but I felt like I really had to on this one. This thing is absolutely insane. I use it all day long, every day. I put refrigerated cold water in it in the beginning of the day (not even any ice) and it stays really, really cold throughout my 12 hour work shift and when I go to the gym afterwards. So cold that it still hurts your teeth a little when you drink it lol. If you have any doubts because of the price, DON'T, Its worth every penny if you like your stuff cold all day. I cant say enough good things about it. Super durable also. I got the "chug cap" with it also which is great.I love mine.I got the 36oz and could imagine it may be tough for someone with a smaller hand to hold one handed while drinking.It will keep your drink nice and cold.I like that the lid fits down in the bottle with the seals on the outside of the lid where it is easy to clean and allow to dry. I had a hydro flask and it would continuously mold under the seal though I washed it frequently. I have had no issues with that since buying the Yeti. A bit pricey but it often seems true that you get what you pay for.OverviewThis is my third YETI product (to go with an insulation tumbler and a one gallon insulted jug.)I bought this for a very specific purpose...to attached to my motorcycle for those long trips where I want a hot or cold drink along the way. The leather holder it's in is actually designed for a fuel bottle...this was the perfect size, and the style of the lid allows me to pass the top strap through the lid to secure it for the ride. So far the fuel bottle is staying in the garage...so I'm hauling more coffee than petrol!There's not much to say about YETI...you get what you pay for. Superior insulation as compared to other competing products...big product line....and expensive.I always say, you won't remember the price unless you regret the purchase...Pros-Typically great quality from this brand-Exceptional insulation properties-Matt black finish to match my motorcycle (I guess that's just a pro for myself)Cons-The style of the bottle does not include your typical thermos cup. More of an observation than a con.-Cost ( but there is no mistaking the value)Recommendation – Would buy it again and would highly recommend.<---Click below if you found this review helpful--->This thing is amazing! It keep ice in it for 24 hours while filling it with water over and over, as long as the water is cold going in. It also keeps hot tea hot for a full day. I made tea before I left for work, and it was still to hot when I got home 10 hours later. At about the 15 hour make it was cool enough for me to get more than a sip. Can’t wait to try it ice fishing, and at the beech. It’s going to get used daily. My plan was to use it for tea in the first couple hours of work and put ice water in it for the last few hours, but I think I’ll have to get another for water and have both keep their temperature all day. Great buy.Absolutely love the yeti brand. This is the first time I’ve experienced a defect in a product and I have multiple 32oz tumblers that go with me everywhere. Right out of the packaging there are visible defects in the black coating. And after only a few weeks of use, looks like I’ve had this cup around the world and back and given the current situation I don’t go anywhere. It does however stay true to the yeti brand and keeps my water cold throughout the day.I don’t know what happened to my yeti, but I bought a stainless steel, white and this black one. The only one that kept the ice and water cold as promised was the stainless one. The white and the black one was completely useless!! It just did not work! They are both going back. I will order another plain stainless one.Love !!! When I first got it I was thrown of by the size. It's almost too big. I was definitely going to return it but ended up using it and I'm SO glad I did. I suck at drinking water. I've had 3 of these today ! The water stays ice cold. No gross taste to it. Perfect.
