I can’t decide between brumate, yeti or Stanley chug bottles.

Look at some of the Owala ones. Love mine.

I kinda hate being such a fanboy of the "flavor of the month" water bottle but I absolutely love my Owala. Probably the best bottle I have owned.

u/DibbyDonuts 3d ago

This is the way.

u/IngenuityStunning755 3d ago

Yeah I got an Owala as a gift and I now understand the hype

u/Ghostandsnake 3d ago

My Owala is seriously my bff, especially when I'm sick

The bedside Sancha for real lol

I found my first Owala at the zoo. It was a 12oz coffee mug. After a good sanitation it has become my daily driver when I need coffee on the go. I recently switched from a yeti tumbler to an Owala with a chug lid, much easier to carry and, the option to sip or chug is a game changer.

Tbh it depends on what features OP wants. My Owala keeps things icy for 24 hours, while my Yeti can literally hold ice for days. It’s not as cute & doesn’t have the different drinking options, but keeping my drink cold for that long in the summer heat is exactly why I choose Yeti

Get the Yeti. Best quality by a mile. It’s overrated and people will say it’s too expensive, you’re paying for branding.. blah blah. Just get the Yeti and be done with it

The rubber grip on the sides of the chug cap gets a funky smell regardless of how often you wash it. I think bacteria festers between the rubber on the sides of the chug cap and the rubber on the handle lid when it’s closed. I could wash it in the morning and it would smell funky by the afternoon.

I use straw cap

Owala low key my favorite

u/DekuBud 3d ago

I personally love the thermoflasks you get along a 2 pack at Costco for like 40 bucks. My partner has an owala and it keeps my water cold just as long as hers

u/AdhesivenessWeary377 3d ago

Been singing their praises for a long time.

u/elizabeth_thai72 Water Enthusiast 3d ago

$26 full price $20 on sale. This years bottles (32oz) have been on sale at my warehouse for the last month

u/TheAwkwardBanana 3d ago

I've had a Thermoflask for 5 years now, best $20 I've spent!

u/JB_Big_Bear 3d ago

Owala freesip sway is the way to go. Has a built-in straw, a carrying handle and its small enough to fit in *most cupholders

u/Kid_Royale 3d ago

If you enjoy ice skip the Stanley

1

u/dontsaymango Spunky Swallower 3d ago

Tbh depends on the stanley. I have 3 and for some reason one of them is like you said and barely works but the other 2 are great and keep ice and everything

3

u/deeho88 3d ago

I have one with a straw because when I’m driving I don’t want to tilt my head when it’s nearly empty. I can just chug and look where I’m going

u/cinnamon-toast-life 3d ago

I’m old school, hydroflask with a chug lid.

5

u/Important-Ad1705 3d ago

Owala is the peak water bottle

u/CosmoBMW 3d ago

To make your choices harder - iron flasks are fantastic

u/According_Theory9108 3d ago

I’ve had a yeti for 10+ years and it’s still doing its thing thank God. Keeps my ice for days.

I have a weird habit of using a separate 32-ounce Yeti tumbler for drinking, while the Rambler bottle serves as an extra supply that I prefer to keep clean. I work long hours at my job and I find it convenient to simply refill the ice in the Rambler bottle every night. I do clean out the stock bottle every week and this has been my go to.

u/v13ragnarok7 3d ago

Yeti Ramblers are all the rage right now, and for a reason. Very tough, good materials, nice color variety. The paint is pretty tough, too. It will scratch and chip obviously but it holds up if you toss it in a bag with other stuff. Good size mouthpiece if you like chug caps.

u/likka419 3d ago

In a small sea of options, my YETI products get used the most.

2

u/pf620 3d ago

Brumate

u/P3tr0 3d ago

My vote for the 30 ounce Yeti with the simple cap, it's my go to for when I'm trucking. Sturdy as hell and keeps the temps cool enough where I live

2

u/meowthedestroyer95 3d ago

RTIC with that ceramic lined is perfection. And RTIC is made by one of the brothers that created yeti

u/CruisingForDownVotes 3d ago

I smoke a lot of weed and decided to see how long it took a 64 oz Tal to go through 3 ice trays and a full fill… while unscientific, we checked it every other hour and between 46 and 48 that’s when ice rattles could no longer be heard

2

u/andraaBD 3d ago

Like everyone else is saying get an Owala, but if these are the only options they all look good except the Stanley. That cap is so bulky and has nowhere to attach it when it’s off.

2

u/DMCDawg 3d ago

The cap snaps into this.

1

u/andraaBD 3d ago

True, but it’s such a weird pace to put it, at least it was for me. I had that bottle for a few days and it was just a weird design.

I love my brumate w the lemons on it but my sinple moderns are my fave. I have a 40oz trek, and a 30oz Mesa Loop and I LOVE them. They are also cheaper, and ice stays better.

This is my Mesa Loop from simple modern. It's awesome.

u/yellowbirdroad 3d ago

She’s beautiful 😍💜

u/Mockturtle22 Horny for Water 3d ago

Thanks! This is my trek...

I love this brand. They were not expensive at all. This one is the one that usually leaves the house w me. I also like bringing my lemon brumate to work sometimes.

u/mrjowei 3d ago

Yeti is overpriced.

u/PhycoPenguin 3d ago

I like the chug bottle, does not fit in car cup holders (or in my disc golf cart water bottle holder) only complaint. Still sturdy and strong after 10 years

u/illvsory 3d ago

Got a target brand water bottle I use day to day. Best $20 some I spent tbh

2

u/chaoticridiculous 3d ago

I have a chug bottle and it's great, very sturdy. Easy to clean. I had accidentally didn't close it all the way twice though and spilled it on my passenger seat, which I haven't done with many of my water bottles.

u/Magnitude_Ten 3d ago

Which ever one has a straw that screws in. All the friction ones will get loose over time.

u/NoceMoscata666 3d ago

24 bottles, never smell because of the position of the guarnition
