YETI has long been considered the king of premium outdoor gear. Owning one of their products has become somewhat of a status symbol, similar to that of Beats, BMW or Apple. You’ve probably heard their name in numerous country songs or seen that one guy with a really nice boat or truck hauling around one of their Tundra coolers. Many companies have tried to undercut YETI (RTIC, Ozark Trail, Pelican to name a few) by offering similar products at much cheaper prices but have either failed to match the brand value Wholesale Yeti Rambler (http://www.wholesaleyetidrinkware.com/) has built or gotten tangled up in lawsuits for blatantly knocking them off. And recently, OtterBox, who has created a high-level of brand value in their own respect for rugged, outdoor phone cases, has decided to join the YETI competition with their new line of Elevation tumblers.

The Yeti Tumblers 30 Oz (http://www.wholesaleyetidrinkware.com/) of products is what YETI likes to call “over-engineered”. They are double-wall insulated with kitchen-grade 18/8 stainless steel. Basically, they are durable as heck and keep your beverages cold/hot for a long time. Whether you drop them, bang them against a hard surface or leave them in the blistering hot sun, these Ramblers can take a beating while maintaining the temperature of your drink. They have a no sweat design, meaning they will never show condensation or be too hot to the touch no matter how hot or cold your beverage is. In terms of keeping ice, the YETI Rambler tumblers pass with flying colors. In our test, it kept ice for well over 24 hours.

On the downside, the standard lid on the Yeti Wholesale Prices (http://www.wholesaleyetidrinkware.com/) (not the bottles, obviously) are not leak-proof – you would have to buy a separate lid accessory. More on accessories in a minute. Regardless, as you will see below, YETI and OtterBox are very similar in terms of quality and design. I’d even go as far as saying they are the two highest-quality producers of tumblers out there. But where YETI starts to distance themselves from the Elevation line is in their wide variety of sizes, customization options and price.

Overall, it’s hard to go wrong with either the Colored Yeti Cups 20 Oz (http://www.wholesaleyetidrinkware.com/) or Elevation line in terms of quality and performance. However, we give YETI the nod in this comparison due to three factors – their products are cheaper (still can’t believe I just said that), they have a wider selection of products and they have more moderately priced accessories as well as more custom options.
