I was wondering if anyone had a good knockoff for the Yeti 20 oz travel car cup. My husband wants a bunch of matching ones to take his morning coffee to work. I don't want to pay $35 per cup. We like the Yeti ones because the finish doesn't get damaged in the dishwasher and they are easy to clean (no straw).
 
I second the RTIC brand.

I have 4 20 ounce ones in various colors that I use as my sole cup for the day, at work and home. I drink ice water all day.

Our son used to use them for hot coffee when he was at home.

Their coolers are good, too. We have a day cooler that we love
RTIC is a good knock off.
 
I have a Yeti cup, an RTIC and a couple Ozark Trail (Walmart) ones... all perfectly fine. The Ozark ones are the oldest and they have been tough -- road trips, camping etc.

I second this. I got one for my birthday and it's great. Keeps my soda cold for 8--10 hours when traveling (RV).
 
How does the finish hold up on the RTIC and Ozark Trail cups? I plan to put them in the dishwasher.

Ozark has been fine in the dishwasher but they are like 9 years old now so I'm not sure what they are made like now as far as that goes. Mine have kind of a thicker very lightly textured finish on them.
 
I have several of the IronFlask ones in different sizes. Had them for several years and they look like new. I would never pay the amount of money they want for a Yeti when there are other options available.
 
So, when I first read this, I was like, isn't the Yeti a knockoff of the Abominable Snowman in the Matterhorn?! And they did a knock-off of that?

Then, I realized you were talking about tumblers, lol
 
Lincoln Trail from Rural King have been really reliable for us. I remember doing a test which one keeps ice the longest and the Lincoln Trail was the best. It held ice a little longer than the Yeti, and the Ozark Trail. I really don't have any complaints about the Ozark Trail cups. It seems like the newest ones are even better than the old ones (which were already good).
 
Most of my expensive tumblers have been given to me by vendors. I have several Yetis, an Iron Flask, S'well and I have one from Patriot that is very much like these... no peeling or damage from heavy use. My DS takes them to his road construction job, so they aren't handled gingerly, by any means.
 
It does seem that the older Ozark Trail tumblers do have some issues with paint chipping…. I don’t stress about it because I beat the heck out of them. I have one of the newer Ozark Trail tumblers dedicated to carrying coffee to work. I have used it (not gently) for several months now, and it still looks brand new. I think they have improved a lot. I have the what they call pink but it looks more maroon.
