Pelican is a newer entry in to the world of rotomolded coolers and have taken their own spin on design and function. Overall the Pelican coolers have sharper edges and a bit more of an industrial feel than the competition. One of the first things to note about it’s design is that it has a larger drainage hole and a tethered drain cap, which is a nice feature. I have lost a couple of drain caps in my day which makes the cooler unusable until a ozark trail chair replacement arrives. In a sheer stroke of luck for this test, we are having a very aggressive heatwave in Southeast Michigan with temperatures around the 90’s during the day and staying in the 70’s overnight. I’m using my North facing deck as the staging area which receives direct sunlight at almost all hours of the day.
However, the Everyday Tumbler has a straw lid only, so that could be a dealbreaker for folks who want a tumbler for both hot and cold beverages. Also, compared with our other picks, this model comes in a limited number of colors and sizes. If our top pick is unavailable, and you prefer drinking from a straw, we recommend the 20-ounce RTIC Everyday Tumbler. It kept iced drinks at a colder temperature for a longer period (nine hours) than any other model we tested. And its lid seals tightly enough to prevent it from leaking (unless you turn the tumbler upside down).
Easy setup is ensured with color-coded poles and pin & ring frame attachment. Additionally, the tent is ozark trail chair weather-resistant with a removable rainfly and taped seams for protection against the elements. I have been using the 30 oz Ozark Trail tumbler and the 30 oz Yeti Rambler for a true comparison. We love using a straw to drink from, especially while driving. I like how having this lid adds more versatility to the Yeti and Ozark Trail tumblers. What’s great about this lid is it’s meant to fit a straw as it has a circle opening.
This leads to a short time to enjoy the drink or have no way but endure an unfavorable experience. Then I did the same test with cold water from the same coolers. And the rubber gaskets, which make the lid leak-resistant, come out for a deeper clean. Simple Modern offers a robust selection of colors, patterns, and capacity options. The Classic vessel comes in four sizes (16, 20, 24, and 28 ounces) and in dozens of colors and patterns, so you’re bound to find something that matches your style. This sleek, slim tumbler has a smooth powder coating that’s easy to grip, even with wet hands.
That’s fine for people who plan to use their tumblers just for cold drinks. In our testing, this model was the best at retaining heat, but if you’d like to enjoy the occasional cup of coffee or hot cocoa, you’ll have to buy a separate slider lid. The Ozark Trail 40-ounce double wall stainless steel tumbler will keep you hydrated all day long with less refill.
According to The Wall St. Journal, in terms of maintenance, Yeti Tumblers seem to have an upper hand over its competition as the Yeti is dishwasher safe. The two tumblers are also very good in keeping beverage cold. In fact, when you place the Ozark and the Yeti tumblers next to each other, you would have a hard time figuring out the differences. Of course, neither of these will replace your best insulated water bottle, which can also hold more than water.
