If you're picky enough about durability or insulation that a budget model is a turn-off, you should probably check out a travel mug or thermos anyhow. The plastic base is a drawback, but the price makes this a real winner. RTIC gives you all the insulation of the other brands and better leak prevention than anyone else. Improving the insulation of a tumbler without making the lid area smaller is like adding better insulation to your house while the doorways and windows are sealed with plastic sheets.īest Buy: RTIC - 30-Ounce Insulated Tumbler In every case we’ve seen (even among top-class insulating mugs and bottles from Zojirushi, Thermos and Hydro Flask) a big lid means mediocre insulation. “Maybe the vacuum is actually less of a vacuum.” Our testing shows, though, that If there’s anything fancy that other brands are doing to improve theoretical insulation performance, the giant plastic lid is an equalizer that levels the playing field. Without buying and trying out these tumblers, it’s easy to make assumptions about performance. This is an updated version of the RTIC, but the old all-metal-no-stopper version is still available. The stopper actually prevents some spills, and compatible accessories are easy to find. The RTIC – 30-Ounce Insulated Tumbler is the best bargain in this lineup, and it’s our top pick overall.
