[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve gone a little crazy with my Yeti’s!!! From the new blue to the pretty coral. Love, love, love my new Roadie cooler and my matching Rambler. Already looking forward to my next purchase!
AMAZING! I got this from my dad as a gift on my birthday! It has been in such great use and overall definitely recommend it for any age and yeah! Only one inconvenience ever with this such bottle which was the gasses leading up to the lead trying to escape. But, that is not anything you should worry about unless you don't use it for a long time or you put carbonated drinks inside. I would also like to thank, Julia C she is amazing if you need to give information about a problem you should ask for Julia C while speaking to the chat bot!
I absolutely LOVE the 18oz Rambler Bottle with Chug Cap! It’s easy to carry around with me, keeps my drinks hot/cold for a long time, and doesn’t leak!! Oh, and the colors are super cute, too!
I won this bottle in a White Elephant gift exchange at a Christmas party this past weekend. It was put to the test a few days later on a winter Wildland fire in Colorado. After 8 hours of hiking, crawling and digging through dirt, ash, soot and dense shrubs this bottle kept my water cold and, most importantly, CLEAN. The removable spout kept out dirt and grit and made it easy to refill on the fire line. The bottle fit into any of the pockets on my pack and the wide handle made it easy to grab on the go. After a long hard day, the last thing I want to do is wash a water bottle by hand. Thank you Yeti for making this bottle dishwasher and firefighter safe. Not a scratch on it!
This tumbler, with the chug cap, is a horrible combination. The cap leaks heat at an astounding rate. You can feel the heat transferring to the chug cap and the lid. I used a laser thermometer to verify it, and it's shocking. After an hour or so, the tumbler was 76.9 degrees, the mid-cap 78.8 and the main cap, 90.6 degrees! It won't keep coffee hot for 4 hours. Given Yeti's history and reputation, I'm shocked by this. I really expected more from this company.
I bought this today & am in love after my first sip! Drinks like a regular Yeti Rambler.. The "over the nose" wide mouth, smooth rim, and the loop on the cap just made every other bottle I own obsolete. Haven't had it long enough to see how long ice stays cold, but it's a Yeti, so I'm sure it's just as good as my cup, actually better, since it has a seriously insulated lid. Thank you for a great product!!
This water bottle is easily my favorite! The cap is secure - it twists off quickly and easily, the spout is the perfect size (I don’t feel like a baby sipping or a whale chugging), it fits in my car cup holder, and keeps my water cool and delicious. The Firefly Yellow is my favorite color (chartreuse) and its a perfect balance of easy-to-carry and satisfying amount of liquid.
I love Yeti!!! I'm definitely a Yeti snob.... I trashed all my other carry around drink containers just so I would have room for more!!!!
Love my 18oz Yeti! Fits on my bike & car cup holders. Use it on a a daily! I did purchase the stars top lid. Overall happy.
I drive a bit as part of my job. I chose this bottle because it fits well in a cup holder & the chug cap is perfect for water. It's about the size of a plastic single use bottle, but without all the wasted plastic. I bring two to work and feel about right if I've had both. Would normally drink a 40 oz bottle, but that doesn't sit in easy reach in a cup holder. I chose silver because it's a little less visually heavy on the branding. Overall, I never leave without these and I use them both every day. They also have a cool minimalist, streamlined look that I appreciate. They're solid, consistent, and reliable. Would buy again.
