The Rambler’s slide cover actually stops most (but not all) leakage and only lets drops escape. The one category YETI manages to squeak ahead of some competition is in spill prevention. The main reason to pick this tumbler is if you've gotta have that logo. The magnetic slider is more convenient than a flip-up stopper, but it doesn't make this cup leakproof.

YETI didn't invent this category, but they made the 30-ounce insulated party cup into a must-have accessory for cold refreshment. If you want the easy-filling and easy-sipping convenience of a tumbler, YETI has the same performance drawbacks as the other brands. This is not a Yeti thermos: You can easily beat this kind of insulation with the narrow-neck bottle from Klean Kanteen, for about the same price.

YETI didn’t technically invent this category of drinkware (similar insulated travel mugs have been around for a very long time), but they created a new market with big 30-ounce tumblers targeted at outdoor enthusiasts who loved their coolers for camping and tailgating. If you want something better than a budget-priced tumbler, there’s no way to beat the original YETI – Rambler.

RTIC compromises on quality very slightly, with some plastic parts, but the vacuum insulation is all that it needs to be.

The RTIC – 30-Ounce Insulated Tumbler is a bargain-priced drink vessel that will keep your beverage just as cold (or hot) as other brands.

Note that the outer dimensions are slightly different old-style handles don’t fit new-style mugs with the plastic foot. If you don’t want the flip-cap to stick up into your face when you’re drinking, the older version of the RTIC with no stopper is going to be just as good at insulating your drink. The main feature that bumped this tumbler to the top of our lineup is the spill-proof lid. That popularity also means that accessories (like this handle) will actually be designed to fit this cup. RTIC has been around since the beginning of the fake-YETI game, and availability online is always good. Perhaps the most important consideration when it comes to recommending a bargain-priced tumbler is availability: Ozark Trail, Zak! Designs, BEAST and a dozen other companies are also producing similar tumblers at low price points, but inventory (and new brands) come and go seasonally. So, what is the difference that brings the price down? The plastic “foot” on this new RTIC is less tough than the YETI if you drop it on a hard surface, but the difference in price more than makes up for that. If you're picky enough about durability or insulation that a budget model is a turn-off, you should probably check out a travel mug or thermos anyhow. The plastic base is a drawback, but the price makes this a real winner. RTIC gives you all the insulation of the other brands and better leak prevention than anyone else.
