Yeti Rambler 26 oz Bottle, Black

For this price, I expected to love the Yeti Rambler 26 oz. bottle, and in almost every way I do — except for one thing. I want to emphasize that the Yeti bottle is truly an engineering marvel. The craftsmanship is stunning. Having said that, there is no way to attach legit accessories to the bottle. For convenience I use the optional MagDock cap (which is awesome, btw) but it means I lose the handle from the standard cap. Basically the smooth silver lip on the bottle prevents a safety ring attachment, unlike practically every other water bottle in the universe. So no paracord handle, no carabiner options, nothing. It’s not a huge deal-breaker, but it’s annoying. Moving forward, I don’t know that I would get Yeti bottles for this reason. If they could somehow ... MoreFor this price, I expected to love the Yeti Rambler 26 oz. bottle, and in almost every way I do — except for one thing.

If they could somehow redesign this one thing, I would be a lifelong customer. Honestly, it would be a smart business move because they could add a boatload of accessories to their line. I searched FOREVER for a third-party vendor who has solved this puzzle, but I could not find one solution.

I bought my YETI Rambler and two tops in addition to the one it comes with. My bottle arrived July 19, 2019 (perfect timing) right before an outdoor wedding I was in - I filled up my bottle and cut my "RAMBLER BOTTLE STRAW CAP" straw to the right length and took it to the 98 degree (outdoor) rehearsal that evening (I also had the bottle at the wedding the following day) - it was so hot, but my YETI made a HUGE difference- my water stayed COLD and ice was still in the bottle after hours of being outside in the South Carolina summer heat. I love this bottle and top together because the top handle is great for carrying and then it is easy to flip the straw up to drink and down to close. I have literally kept my YETI Ramber with my 24/7 since it arrived. My water is ... MoreI bought my YETI Rambler and two tops in addition to the one it comes with.

I have literally kept my YETI Ramber with my 24/7 since it arrived. My water is always cold .Also - I love this bottle and top because it is completely sealed and doesn't leak when it tips over in the car etc. So great!!I take the bottle with me to work, CrossFit (which is hot an no AC), on outdoor adventures, to church and everywhere I go, I don't know how I stayed hydrated before this...oh wait... I didn't, I was always fatigued due to dehydration. This bottle was the best investment I've made in a LONG time... I love it so much and would HIGHLY recommend YETI Ramblers and the "YETI - RAMBLER BOTTLE STRAW CAP" to anyone!!Also- when my bottle gets dirty it is easy to clean, i just use a wet wipe and all dirty/grime (paint) comes right off :)

I was very excited to get a Yeti 26 Oz tumbler to keep my coffee warm throughout the day, as my prior thermos tanked, and it’s completely unuseable, unless I want to regularly clean up coffee from my desk. It’s physically impossible to pour any liquid out of this and into a cup/mug/container without it either dripping down the bottle. The edge of the opening is a bit rounded, rather than being a little sharper, and the pour cannot be cut off. Instead of pouring out, it just rolls over that edge and down the bottle. I usually pour coffee into my mug throughout the day, and after a few days of use, I’m tired of cleaning up my coffee (and losing a lot of it) every time I try to pour it. I even reviewed optional lids, but all of them are either not for hot beverages, or ... MoreI was very excited to get a Yeti 26 Oz tumbler to keep my coffee warm throughout the day, as my prior thermos tanked, and it’s completely unuseable, unless I want to regularly clean up coffee from my desk.

I even reviewed optional lids, but all of them are either not for hot beverages, or not leak-proof. I even tried drinking it straight from container, but that was wildly unpleasant, especially for a hot liquid. I’m really amazed that this is even in production, and there should be a disclaimer that it only has a very limited and specific use. I’d return it, but apparently I cannot since it has been used (only way to find out it’s terrible). I am incredibly dissapoonted with this purchase, and would not recommend it this product to anyone, ever.
