    I ended up only getting the 30. Have had it for a few days and love it. Going back tomorrow for a 20. Thanks for the post. By the way because of your post about the timestick a while ago I am the very proud owner of a timstick trio and a thermapen. Thanks again!

    I picked up the last Colster at my nearest Bass Pro.  I can't wait to try it.  I've never been so worried about losing a "beer koozie" before. :s

    @Greeno55, your local Bass Pro carries Yetis? I didn't think they were available in Canada?

    Did you see the ramblers (20 or 30) there too?

    Whether you buy from the company, or BP, or Dicks the prices are uniform even though Amazon wants a few bucks more! The Colster and the 20 s/b 29.99 and the 30 s/b 39.99. Anything higher then you are getting ripped off!

    That's USD though - I'd be curious to see pricing in CAD. Will report back.

    You're welcome!  I believe this was my first post where I actually contributed something.   You folks make eggin' look so effortless! 

    What made me initially skeptical of the Rambler was the lid - 
    I didn't believe that it could retain cold as well as it does with a sippy hole in the lid's edge, instead of the more complex screw on lid types.  Yet, it does!    So refreshing to wake up to still icy cold water.

    In hindsight I'm very glad it has that lid design.  I either drink directly from it or use a bendable straw.  

    Whereas for the lid type that screws on and I press a  button, for some reason I prefer to unscrew it completely before drinking from it.  (maybe I'm skeptical I cleaned that complicated lid mechanism thoroughly enough...)

    The Colster was marked up an extra $10.  I woul assume the same for the Ramblers.  I was expecting maybe $5, and himmed and hawed when I was standing in front of it.

    I recently paid $105 Cdn for 2 30oz ramblers. Bought at a Cabelas in the U.S. For U.S. $39 Each. The exchange rate is a killer these days.

    Visited the Vaughan Bass Pro as promised. Here's the pricing. Not too bad if you ask me (especially considering the poor exchange rate).

    I was in Chattanooga when I bought 2 30 oz for the wife and I.  I was pleasantly surprised when they were $35.    They are $40 everywhere else I have looked.

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    I just jumped on this bandwagon as well. I picked up 2 of these 20oz (one for myself and the other for the wife) at BPS in Niagara for $35each. I must admit, I was skeptical at first. However, after using/experimenting for a week with both hot and cold liquids, I must say we are both quite impressed. Recommended for anyone who might be considering this purchase.

    Y'all amaze me. Everyone seems to diss the coolers but loves the cups. Guess I'll be the village idiot. I love my cooler but gave my cup to my wife. (Side note she loves it) I'll stick to my tervis's.

    I bought the 30 for myself, the 20 for the wife and today my mother inlaw gave me 2 koozies for Father's Day. We love them all, my kids don't drink a canned drink without a koozies now they will do more than keep my hand from getting cold and warming my drink up.

    I've been thinking about getting some of these as groomsmen gifts for the guys in my wedding. Good to hear the positive reviews. 
    I am getting married soon as well....This is an awesome idea!

    I love my Yeti coolers.  I have the 45qt, the 20qt roadie, and the 30qt soft sided cooler.  If had known that they were going to come out with the soft sided coolers, I would not have purchased the roadie.  The soft sided cooler is used at LEAST twice a week.  Absolutely love it.  I have the 30oz tumbler as well, but don't use it as much as I thought I would.  I have been using my hydroflask way more than the tumbler.

    OK OK OK - I'm going to join the cult! Actually it's for my wife who has taken a lidded mug of ice water to bed every night since childhood! We have a ****'s Sporting Goods store and research shows me they stock them.

    @RRP, Academy Sport's stores also stocks them.  

    Has anyone noticed their lid not fitting right anymore?  
    The gasket looks OK, but the lid is cattywampus.

    Replacement lids are available, but first have you laid both your lid and glass upside down on a perfectly flat surface to see which one is cattywampus? BTW did someone wash either piece in the dishwasher?
