I filled it up with ice and water when I left in the AM and it did a fine job keeping the water cold....better than any travel cup I've ever owned....but I gotta tell ya....there's some pretty tall tales floating around on this thread....

I suspect some of these "scientific" tests are being conducted in air conditioned offices......

It wouldn't surprise me if YETI, Ozarc Trails, and RTIC cups were all made in the same factory either...

On the same day it filed the lawsuit against Wal-Mart, Yeti also filed lawsuits against Zhejiang Zhuosheng Industry & Trade Co., a Chinese stainless steel drinkware manufacturer; and Waukesha, Wisconsin-based restaurant outfitter The Boelter Companies. Both lawsuits were trade dress infringement claims relating to Yeti’s 20 and 30 oz. stainless steel tumblers. These claims did not include patent infringement, however.

Doesn't look to me like any of the others could still be called Yeti clones either since it's pretty clear now that they all simply bought the identical beverage containers manufactured and sold by the very same Chinese company but each with their own brand logo embossed.
