The handle broke on my Ozark Trails 40oz tumbler, so I set out to find something with a more durable handle. This one caught my attention because of the top handle band that goes all the way around the tumbler.
The build quality is top notch with stainless hardware in the handle bottom.
The coating seems very durable and has a just enough dripping texture; not too much that could make your fingers tingle.
The handle is by far the most durable and comfortable handle on a tumbler I have ever gripped. The top goes all the way around the tumbler as a one piece handle. The bottom in retained with a stainless bracket that is tack welded to the cup with a stainless hex socket screw with a corrosion resistant zinc coating. The handle also has a precision molded in contoured rubber grip. It really is comfortable for large or small hands. I wear XL gloves and my wife wears XS and we both love the handle grip.
The lid is so convenient and adaptable to your preference. Without a straw the attached flip cap has a molded in silicon plug. It is fully spill proof when closed. With a straw in the built in center straw port it is mostly spill proof aside from what would obviously come out of the straw. Dual thread makes it right hand or left hand handle grip.
The straw has is stainless steel with a silicon tip. The inside is 1/4" diameter making it pretty standard for a drinking straw. I prefer a larger straw around 3/8-1/2in because I don't like my cheeks to suck in when I drink, so I kept the straw from the Ozark Trails cup, which is not as long, but it is what I prefer.
There isn't a molded in bottom grip, which could improve it, but I don't know how that would affect the cost. I got mine for about $8 more than the Ozark Trails, but I feel like this will last longer than the 9 months I got out of the OT.
Temperature retention is decent. Not impressed or disappointed. In an 8hr work day in unconditioned space it has ice all day. Only if it is +95°F do I need to refill ice once in the day. Probably wouldn't have too but I like my stuff as cold as I can get it and the ice is readily available. I really don't use it for hot beverages.
I recommend this tumbler for anyone looking for a longer lasting high quality tumbler without the high price.
