Additionally, when holding each tumbler, I couldn’t feel any heat or chill through the material, which makes either ideal for drinking exceptionally hot or cold drinks. I also took into consideration how cold or hot to the touch each tumbler was when filled with liquid and tipped each one over to see if they would leak. Obviously, the performance of this significantly more affordable travel mug is not as good as that of its rival. While Ozark Trail 12 oz mug does feature double-walled vacuum insulation, it is not capable of maintaining the temperature of the beverage for a very long time. In other words, the ice is held closer together and not allowed to spread out. As the ice melted in each tumbler, the water was poured into a measuring cup at roughly 8-hour intervals. I started by filling each cup with 15 ice cubes, set them in my kitchen with the lids on, and started the clock. We’re testing the quality between high-end YETI tumblers vs. the very affordable Ozark Trail brand from Walmart. Walmart’s answer to Yeti’s popular product is a bottle that has many similarities with the aforementioned model – it also features an easy-to-carry handle and an overall sweat-free design. In addition, it is made out of BPA-free materials and comes with double-walled insulation whose job is to maintain the temperature of one’s drinks. By now you have probably heard of Yeti cups that that claim to keep your drinks cold (or hot) for much longer than typical insulated cups. You might also have seen the YouTube videos that prove that Walmart’s Ozark Trail brand tumblers work just about as well as the Yetis… and cost about 3 times less. Knowing how cheap I am, you guys can guess which version I purchased. As a business, it is important to find affordable ozark trail tumblers at great wholesale prices on Alibaba.com. The ones that didn’t (the Simple Modern and Owala, most notably) had tighter silicone seals holding their straws put. It was to the point where I had to forcefully pull the straw out of the Simple Modern to get it to budge. If a leakproof tumbler is your priority, you now know which one to get. A few of the tumblers (the Owala, Hydro Flask, and MiiR) had straws located in the center of the lids. For most (i.e. those who aren’t testing 10 insulated tumblers side-by-side) this placement will be unnoticeable. However, I did find straws that were located closer to the edge and set at a slight angle were more intuitive to drink from. If you haven’t heard of the brand name Ozark, then you should know that it is a company that specializes in outdoor recreation products. I wiped the tumbler down with rubbing alcohol to make sure there was no grime or oil on the surface of the tumbler. I aligned the vinyl with the top of the tumbler and carefully smoothed out the transfer tape. I used the weeding tool to remove all of the vinyl I didn’t want transferred onto my tumbler.
