What YETI Rambler 30 oz Tumbler owners say

“It keeps water so cold, and ice doesn’t melt; waking up at 3am to pee for the thousandth time, and my water still being ice cold, is amazing.”

“My wife loves [Yeti tumblers](https://www.yeti.com/en_US/drinkware/rambler-30-oz-tumbler/21070070024.html#pos=7), not because the tumblers are any better than other brands, but because the magslider Yeti lids are better. Magsliders don’t leak and are easy to open and close one-handed.”

“For thirty-five dollars plus tax and shipping, this tumbler shouldn't leak a drop, ever.”
