With all of the Yeti-style insulated drinkware available, I was initially skeptical about whether a Yeti was worth the investment. However, I should have never doubted it. This 26oz Rambler with the straw cap is absolutely fantastic! Forget about the cheap knock-offs—this Yeti keeps your drinks cold forever. It originally came with a chug cap, but I have to say, I prefer the straw cap for traveling. It’s incredibly convenient—no need to mess around with a cap, just flip it over and drink. Another great feature is that it doesn’t make that annoying slurpy sound that my wife’s Hydro Flask does. The design is sleek, and the performance is unmatched. If you want a reliable and high-quality insulated bottle, the Yeti 26oz Rambler is definitely worth every penny.

I love my Rambler 18 oz it keeps my ice coffee perfect all day, however, I've stopped using the optional plastic straw my husband purchased from Yeti. I have found that once the contents are gone if I have let it set a while and forgot to close the black sipping portion of the lid any residual drink that may be left in the straw will spit out. I've three times been showered with coffee when I went to retrieve the Rambler. I'm guessing it's due to a pressure change in the canister. I would still recommend the 18 oz, just not with the straw. I use it everywhere. It can fit inside of my small backpack and I also have a clip which attaches to my back pack and the water bottle. I love the convenience of it being small, and not as heavy as my larger yeti water bottle. ... MoreI love my Rambler 18 oz it keeps my ice coffee perfect all day, however, I've stopped using the optional plastic straw my husband purchased from Yeti.

Defective Product, Terrible Customer Experience

Ordered a custom version of this at a discount. The order went through, and then I got an email saying that they no longer had the product I ordered. So I ordered this one.Had it for less than a month. Chug cap leaked. Destroyed my Scottish Leather bag and work papers. When I called Yeti to tell them it was leaking, they wanted me to send proof, upload pictures, and treated me like I was lying. I told them to just sent me a postage-paid box, I'd send them back the defective product, and they could send me what I paid for = a product that doesn't leak.All in all, it was a terrible product and an even worse customer experience. I think that I'm supposed to get a replacement chug cap sometime soon. We'll see. I don't even know that I want this product anymore. The ... MoreOrdered a custom version of this at a discount.

The whole experience made me feel taken advantage of, and I feel like I paid for a product only to get terrible customer support when their product wasn't working as advertised. I used to love Yeti products. They used to be extremely high quality. Now I'm not even sure that I feel welcome as a paying customer. In the past year alone, I've ordered 5 Yetis from their website. Don't think I'll be ordering any more.

Great bottle but has RFI points (room for improve)

Great bottle for sports, travel or just at home.This is the only water bottle I have had that does not leak.The one thing that I would like to see YETI do is include a tool, even if it's just a small piece of plastic that helps you to remove both gaskets from the chug cap lid.I'm a healthcare provider and have a background in infectious disease and there are several accounts in my area of people who have an ending infections that don't respond antibiotics and finally someone was smart enough to say hey what are you drinking water other things out of. And the isolated and cultured infectious organisms from water bottles.(Not specifically yeti).Additionally, it would also be great if you had some type of silicone boot for the bottom of the bottles. There are ... MoreGreat bottle for sports, travel or just at home.This is the only water bottle I have had that does not leak.The one thing that I would like to see YETI do is include a tool, even if it's just a small piece of plastic that helps you to remove both gaskets from the chug cap lid.I'm a healthcare provider and have a background in infectious disease and there are several accounts in my area of people who have an ending infections that don't respond antibiotics and finally someone was smart enough to say hey what are you drinking water other things out of. And the isolated and cultured infectious organisms from water bottles.(Not specifically yeti).Additionally, it would also be great if you had some type of silicone boot for the bottom of the bottles. There are incredibly sensitive to being dented if they're in your backpack and you accidentally put your daypack with a yeti bottle inside the pack down hard and it hits one of the seat rails in the backseat floor of your car on the footwell.Additionally, I think you guys need to make the gaskets for all of your bottles available on blister cards for people to purchase.You really sell yourself short by not having these available for purchase,. If someone needs to travel out of the country and their gasket on their bottle breaks and they can't get to a place that stocks another lid they can't even buy a chug cap if they're up in the Himalayas or if they're skiing in Switzerland or trekking in Peru.You guys claim to be aware of carbon footprints, and not putting more plastic in the environment. Well, stop forcing people to buy another full chug cap when you could just sell the gaskets. You could make it like a tiny keychain tool that has a clear plastic thing that says YETI on it, and just enough of an edge kind of like a bicycle tire iron that would both advertise product and give the user a sense of pride. Otherwise, she ended up with people using the wrong type of knife to dislodge the things. And I can tell you that the upper one of Chug Cap is tough to get off.

I love the Rambler

I love this bottle, it is convenient when I have a long stretch at work or having to spend extra time outdoors in this summer heat. I can fill it with ice and the contents remains cold throughout the day, even once the ice melts.I chose the cosmic color. The lavender shade is lovely. I get compliments often as lavender is a popular color with my colleagues it stands out and I do not have to fuss about which bottle is mine if others are carrying a similar size. The Rambler is a popular design with my colleagues so there can sometimes be a collection of cups during meetings.The weight of the cup is a bit heavy. It does not fit into standard sized cup holders or side pockets on a backpack, so I would not recommend carrying it in hand for long walks/hikes, it can ... MoreI love this bottle, it is convenient when I have a long stretch at work or having to spend extra time outdoors in this summer heat.

It does not fit into standard sized cup holders or side pockets on a backpack, so I would not recommend carrying it in hand for long walks/hikes, it can create hand fatigue. I have a 16oz Rambler that I carry in my side pocket when traveling and walking nature trails if it is a day spent outside. It also holds up to being leak proof and true to the extent of time with hot and cold beverages. I carry hot tea in it every morning and it stays hot through the morning before switching to ice water. It holds ice for a long time before it initially starts to melt, so water stays cold. The wide mouth Rambler lid holds true to durability and having a great seal when cap is on. It can withstand up to being knocked over by my students if they bump into it or want to hold it but accidentally drop it on the carpet makes it a nifty mess free water bottle that will not come apart if it slips from little hands. It is a great bottle overall to have and true to the allotted time to keep drinks hot or cold without altering flavor of beverages such as tea and coffee.

Keeps ice in +40C working conditions!!

I bought this Yeti for my husband because he is a courier driver in Osoyoos, BC. One of the hottest places in Canada in the summer. It is not uncommon to see weeks close to +40C or more. Being a driver he is in and out of the hot truck all day and the AC is pointless. He has measured the heat in the cab of the truck to be +45C and higher. Every other thermos for water we have bought has resulted in the ice melting quickly and he has to drink warm or hot water for the majority of the day. Not with the Yeti!! He put ice in the Yeti in the morning and kept it in the cab of the truck with him while he worked and enjoyed cold, ice water all day! At the end of the day we opened the Yeti to find the ice he put in in the morning still there! We then left the Yeti open on ... MoreI bought this Yeti for my husband because he is a courier driver in Osoyoos, BC. One of the hottest places in Canada in the summer.

We then left the Yeti open on the counter overnight thinking the ice would melt with the lid off, but there was still some left the next morning, even though the lid had been off!Yes, they are expensive which is why I haven't bought one up to now, but if you need a product that will perform as it promises, get a Yeti!

My favorite daily 8

I wanted a half galIon jug for daily use. I tried a brand that rhymes with “arctic”. To say the least, I was extremely disappointed with the quality even though it was significantly cheaper. Then found out about yeti giving veterans 30 percent off! Honestly it’s what I wanted, I just couldn’t justify the price in my head. But that is the best discount that I’ve received as a veteran!!! So I ordered the 64oz rambler bottle in KCO… and I love it so much!!! It goes everywhere with me. You can tell that the engineers designed this with REAL PEOPLE in mind! I have consumed between 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per day in this and the last sip is as cold as the first. It is a joy to use and I think that it’s going to go down as one of the best buys I’ve ever made! Now that ... MoreI wanted a half galIon jug for daily use. I tried a brand that rhymes with “arctic”.

I hope that if you’re in the market for a daily bottle you try the 64oz YETI! I was not given anything for this review, I just appreciate a company that puts out consistently amazing products. Thank you YETI! Oh, and with the price of bottled water, this thing pays for itself in no time filling up with filtered water from the fridge at home. I have never been less than impressed with a YETI.

Not worth the hype.. very heavy bottle

I wanted to see what all the fuss was about so decided to invest in a YETI Rambler..I will say, I love the chug cap and it's very nice to drink from, however after only a week the cap was completely jammed and stuck and I was unable to take it off. I ended up having to use a zip tie and hammer to resolve this. I found this hack by googling it and it turns out it is a common issue with this bottle which is very frustrating. I also I find this bottle incredibly heavy! The weight has surprised me with it being heavily advertised for the outdoor/camping/hiking lifestyle. Previously I have been a ride or die Hydroflask drink bottle lover and have had multiple of these over the years that I still have and cannot fault. They have no dents or scratches, much lighter in ... MoreI wanted to see what all the fuss was about so decided to invest in a YETI Rambler..I will say, I love the chug cap and it's very nice to drink from, however after only a week the cap was completely jammed and stuck and I was unable to take it off.

They have no dents or scratches, much lighter in weight and keep ice for much longer than the YETI which is surprising. I have also found it to mark quite easily in comparison to other brands .. many have claimed these are indestructible so that's also been misleading. I'm glad I purchased to get it off chest but definitely would not repurchase in future

Terrible First Purchase; Issues with Both Products

I couldn't have had a worse first time purchase experience with Yeti. I have received Yeti products in the past as gifts and enjoyed using those products so I decided to make a first time purchase, however the experience was just terrible. I purchased this product along with the 30 oz travel mug. There were faults with both. On this product, the mouth piece was faulty and did not seal properly. When reaching out to customer support, they repeatedly misinterpreted my emails and were completely unhelpful despite me sending videos to show what the issue was. Next, I called in and they sent me to a warranty link which did not work. After trying multiple times, they had me provide the information in an email to them.

It's been over a month and I still haven't been able to use this product that I was looking forward to.With the 30 oz travel mug, it came without a magnet for the mouthpiece. I reached out to Yeti and customer support and multiple times they sent the wrong item, which I had to correct them each time. They finally sent out a magnet replacement, and when received, it was the wrong one. They ultimately sent out a full mug replacement, which I appreciate, but it took me jumping through so many hoops to get there.At this moment, I'm still waiting to receive a replacement for my 36oz water bottle. Terrible terrible experience with Yeti.

Very Cheap And Very Flimsy

The "stainless steel" looks like two different tones inside the water bottle like it had been contaminated with half full liquid. The steel is also very thin. On the bottom of the bottle there is a virtually unremovable sticker with residue that cannot be cleaned off. I made a bunch of fine scratches trying to remove the glue.I will never use this bottle because it looks like someone else's return, but I can't return it because I tried to remove the sticker before noticing the garbage inside.This was my first purchase from Yeti.There are a bunch of questions related to the review about my demographics, but Yeti has them blocked out because they appear not to care since I rated this product with the lowest possible score.Yeti's loss because I was considering a ... MoreThe "stainless steel" looks like two different tones inside the water bottle like it had been contaminated with half full liquid.
