    I have all 3. I can't tell any difference in the 3. All the tops are interchangeable and my handles fit all 3 just fine.

    I have all three too!  More confirmation that Yeti didn't have some breakthrough invention here...they just slapped their name on an existing product and got us to pay good money for it!  
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    Yesterday I got into my truck and my RTIC 30oz was so hot I couldn't pick it up.  I wrapped a rag around so I could pick it up, and the water inside was still cold.  

    Sorry for the thread hijack.  Just thought it was interesting.

    Wife has a 20oz Yeti, she got me a 30oz RTIC. Not exactly impressed with mine. Left it on the table few nights ago. Had very little liquid in it, was about half full of ice. 6 hours later...liquid. Need to fill it with clean ice and leave it out...

    I'm kinda cheap, so I only have the 30oz tumblers from Sam's and the 20oz from Wal-Mart. Both perform well. Actually, Yeti should be congratulated for their marketing acumen for taking Thermos' old-time vacuum insulation techniques and updating with a big price increase!

    I bought 10 of the 20oz Ozarks yesterday

    I am totally happy with them, especially since I could have only bought 2 1/2 of the Yeti 20oz for the same price

    Glad I waited to pick one up, just saved myself a bit of coin.

    Solid little experiment that very much illustrates what we all need to know - they are all basically the same in terms of performance.

    I can't tell any difference between my Yeti and RTIC.

    I have two of the Ozark 30 ounce. They were $9.74 each and I have no complaints.  Holds ice all day and night.

    Am I the only one getting a kick out of all these hybrid cooler and drink glass comparison ice tests?  WGAFRA.

    Go out and use the damn things.  Some people have entirely too much time on their hands.

    I have the Ozark 20 and I like it.  Keeps the drink very cold.

    I dont have a Yeti cup but my wife surprised me with a Colster - I love that - keeps the beer ice cold.

    I've got the 20 Yeti and two 30 Ozark's....  No difference in the two manufacturers in my opinion.  I've started playing with painting one and plasti-dip spraying the other since I won't feel too bad if I ruined a $15 cup over a $40+ one.....

    I have all three brands. The gasket on the Ozark rolls out of the groove when I put the lid on, so I can't close the lid. My yeti and rtic have better tolerances
