So local Walmart had ozark tumblers in stock today. I bought a 30oz in black finish and a 20oz one. Doing a side by side test of the 30oz ozark and RTIC tumblers. Put 20 ice cubes in each. Will see how they do. My Ozark Trail 30 oz will keep ice about 24 hours. I can fill it up with ice then pour coke from the fridge over it, drink that, refill the coke again from the fridge and there will be a few slivers of ice left about 24 hours later. I was impressed.

possibly an ignorant question.. Vaccum Sealed vs double walled Would the results be the same IF the double walled is sealed (air tight)? Brian Double walled should be vacuum sealed. If the seal is broken between the double walls then the cup won't insulate as well. |

I filled not even half a tumbler of ice in my Ozark 20oz at 9:30PM. Filled it up a few times with water and drank until bed when I filled it again and placed by my bedside. By 6:30 when I woke up there was still ice chips and the water ice cold. It's the same damn thing, only cheaper and sold at your neighborhood Wal-mart. |

Pictures from over 24hrs. Imo the ozark holds ice a little better than the RTIC. Maybe it's the black powder coating. Haha 20 ice cubes were placed in both tumblers. Times were: 5-14 10:30am 5-14 2:50pm 5-14 7:50pm 5-14 10:50pm 5-15 7:00am 5-15 10:30am Other 2 photos were a comparison of the ice that came out. |

My RTIC 30oz handle does not fit especially well on an Ozark. The top ring should move up another 1/4" to allow the bottom ring to fully engage. I believe a few swipes on the inside of the top ring with some extra fine sandpaper would make a perfect fit.

Also its an incognito way of bringing a beer to functions. |
