Found this posted on Facebook - Comparison test between Yeti brand and Walmart's (practically identical looking) Ozark Trail brand of insulated can 'koozies' and insulated mugs/tumblers. (click on the photos to see the test procedures and results) https://www.facebook.com/Whoisthisr.../Whoisthisreally/posts/10205893033073543

I got the 20oz Yeti for Christmas last year - fantastic mug. I'll have to check out the Ozark next time I go to Walmart.

Somebody gave me a gift pack at Christmas that had one of those Yeti mugs, a bottle opener and a ball cap that set the giver back $50. I couldn’t believe it. The mug works great but not that great. Cold coffee doesn’t bother me, and some people even pay extra for ice cubes in theirs.

I've got Two Yetis and I just got an RTic. The RTic is the same thing.

what I can say about yeti, is tis a bit warm here in TX in summer. Well most of the damn time too.
Carolyn puts ice in hers, takes it to work, adds tea at noon and it still has ice in it when she comes home...
Never seen that with anything else.

They are all made in the same factory in China.

I can't say about the Wal-Mart brand for sure but the RTic is identical to the Yeti and holds ice just as well for half the cost. I have both so I know. And since the RTic is obviously made the same, I figure these Wal-Mart ones
are too.

My wife got me a 30oz one that also appears to be identical. It's branded Mossy Oak (but its not camo), made by Haas Outdoors (in China) and sold by Sportsman's Warehouse. It's another one that will hold temperatures for a long time. I can sip on it for 3 hrs and the last coffee will still be hot.
I can't find it on their website so I can't compare the price.

Try a Hydro Flask. I use the 18oz. at work, and recently bought 1 for the wife. They perform as advertised. http://www.hydroflask.com/

We have Yeti tumblers and they are great.
The wife bought a bottle neck SS QT container at a gun show, that kept hot tap water, hot over 24 hours, and warm three days.
We figure it is the same technology as Yeti, also from China.

The weight of the Yeti koozie has my brain thinking I've got more beer than I really do.

I have the YETI lowball that I drink coffee out of in the morning and then rinse and drink whiskey out in the evening.Best damn cup I have found. I didnt see the lowball size cup in Ozark Trail brand,will have to keep an eye out for that. I was looking at the RTIC brand coolers,but have not seen one in person yet.I know people that have pre ordered,but no one I know has received theirs yet.

The boys bought a 20 oz Yeti for me last Father's Day. My wife bought all of us boys Yeti koozies engraved with our surname engraved for Christmas. I don't see that I will need anything more.

I got a Yeti tumbler. Love mine. Same as some I use it for everything from coffee to , icewater to whiskey. If i pack it full of ice at 9 am I can just keep pouring room temp water in it all day. I pretty much just carry a case of bottled water with me instead of a cooler full of ice and water. Its funny it was a gift from a buddy of mine that is a general mgr of a walmart super store. I will have to check with him on those Ozarks. Inwoukd like to get a set for my hunting camp but not lookng to spring for a half dozen tumblers from yeti.

Probably Yeti had a factory in China start making them, then the factory decided they could sell to other people. Not the first rodeo in China

I just got one of the 30 ounce ones at the local Walmart. It was the last one, so they must go quick. I'll give it a try, and see how it works.
