YETI  Silo Insulated Water Jug with Straw Cap - 40 fl. oz.

I purchased this jug expecting a high-quality water vessel, and while the design elements are great, its primary function—keeping drinks cold—is sorely lacking. It is indeed rugged, simple to clean, and genuinely nice looking. However, despite understanding that it is not a double-insulated steel tumbler, I expected much better thermal retention for the cost. Ice melts shockingly fast in this jug, essentially rendering it just a sealed cup for holding water. For this price, I expected superior performance. If you only need a durable, easy-to-clean jug and don't care about keeping ice for more than an hour or two, this is fine. But if you want your drink to stay cold, look elsewhere

I bought this last week for my hiking and camping trip. I put ice-cubes in and water at 9am this morning. By 5:30 the ice was all melted and the water was luke warm. YUK! I own many stainless steel Yeti and love them all. Wish I had purchased the 64 oz or half-gallon stainless steel instead of this plastic piece. It may only be good for a couple of hours, definitely not all day. It's lighter weight, but not worth the price unless you want to drink unrefreshing warm water on a hike.

With both of my boys playing sports and having a large, reliable water bottle during soccer and baseball tournaments is a must. We used to rely on the big Gatorade jugs, but they constantly leaked, which became frustrating over time. So we decided to make the switch and invest in a Yeti jug and we couldn’t be happier. It holds plenty of water, keeps everything ice-cold for hours, and best of all, it doesn’t leak. It’s been a game-changer for our weekends at the field!

I'm a big Yeti fan. I believe their products are top tier. All of them hold up great, keeping my drinks hot or cold for hours or even days. However, I thought I'd add this to my collection since it was larger than the ones I have. Unfortunately, this one didn't hold up like the others. It barely keeps my drink cold. Even inside a conditioned building, it turns room temp in a couple of hours. Which is pretty disappointing since it advertises "keeps water ice-cold from warmups to the final whistle". Don't get me wrong, the design is great, it seems pretty durable, just not what I was expecting for keeping your water cold. Especially if they are advertising it alongside their coolers material. Yes, I did try pre-chilling it as well. Same results, maybe I just got a bad one. Unfortunately, I'd like to return it, but with their policy. It looks like it will be stuck in a cabinet.

Exactly what I needed for the sports field! Lasted me the whole 9 inning game, ice retention is excellent and the fence hook is so smart. I would recommend Yeti think of making a chug cap lid an optional standard choice for the 40oz jug, by the time I bought that to swap out(my teeth do not like the hard Yeti Straw flippers), I could have had the 0.5 gallon for cheaper but I didn't want the extra heft of the jug as I'm female and the 40oz fit well in the hand with the textured insets. Doesn't effect my rating but I think it would get those on the fence to buy the 40oz vs walking away. Is it a Rambler, no. I have those but they get knocked over by my dugout family and dented or roll around. I save the metal ones for work and hiking solo, running around town, home sippers. Gotta be honest, the fence hook and cooler type construction sold me. Love my Yetis! This one filled a nitch and I was excited to finally snag one! Well done!

Wanted to like this, but not what I expected. Does not keep water cold even with ice. Filled it up with ice and water at 9am, by 3pm ice melted and water luke warm. Kept outside at campsite on hike. Other metal yeti cups work so much better than this plastic jug. Bought it for the size and light weight. Wish I could return it. I do not recommend.

Meh. I was expecting something that wasn’t so insulated I guess more like the stainless or metal yetis my kids have. Looks as though you’re going to be able to fill it up with a lot of water then you open its and it’s like oh, it’s mainly plastic. I love yeti though and their products, I just probably would have made a different choice with this jug.

Bought this when it first came out and I must say I'm pretty disappointed... I work a 10 hour shift and not even half way through my shift the water isn't even cold anymore. I love the look of the jug but other than that I'd rather get a compact bottle that hold more than this jug.

Most disappointed with Yeti’s recent color choices. I have every yeti in the charcoal color. It’s popular. Yet there isn’t a charcoal water bottle like this design…stop with these neon green colors and let’s get some popular ones. Thanks
