soft cooler failed miserably at the beach compared to yeti. It's the seal in the zipper and iYeti sides offer more airspace.
How? Every YouTube test has shown it holding ice as good as yeti...

I saw someone bring up hydro flask bottles. Here's a good cheaper option, that may be better.

I bought a 2-pack Takeya Thermoflask water bottles at Costco for about $35. It's the same price they charge for 1 on Amazon. They're 40 oz double walled bottles, with a screw top.

Since I want to drink more water at work, these are great. I'll save a lot of money in bags of ice, since I don't need much to keep them cold.

Amazon LINK

I figured I'd try them out, since Costco has such a good return policy. I'm definitely keeping these. They seem like they're very high quality.

I love the lid. There's a small screw on slot you can drink from, rather than taking off the wide mouth lid to drink. Hydro flask does have different lids you can purchase. But after spending $45 on a water bottle, it's kinda sleazy to charge an extra $10 for a decent lid.

These are going to be great on hiking trails.

My wife found the lid that you don't have to remove to be a pain. She keeps hers in her purse, and it would leak a little from time to time if not pushed all the way back in. My mom got it for her for Christmas, and bought the extra top as well. It mostly sits unused unless she takes it out in our yard. I may check those out too. I'd like one I can leave at work and toss in my gym bag to have after working out.

I usually don't take 20 oz of coffee with me. I have my 10 oz Yeti for that.


Lol. I use my 30 oz Ozark for coffee. Yes, there's a very good reason I've stayed away from blow.

If you have a Costco membership, and could use a good bottle, these are fantastic. I will say, I'm in Colorado. But ifI'd be shocked if they didn't sell these in the south. They're almost out at the Boulder Costco. But that isn't a surprise, because everyone carries around refillable bottle instead of bottled water, and are very outdoorsy.

I just performed my rigorous test of the Yeti and the Ozark Trail and I must say the Yeti won hands down. The Ozark Trail orange logo began peeling off while the Yeti continues to shine for all the public to see.

Hence the Yeti has beaten the Ozark Trail hands down. Performance you ask? Who gives a shite my Yeti logo is still pristine for the world to see!

More power to you. I generally have 10 oz at home, and 10 to take with me. I've found using the 20 oz Yeti or my 20 oz Mossy Oak tumbler, it stays way too hot to drink for much longer. I can pour the cup for the road, finish getting ready, then toss the lid on it and drink right away. And if I want more, I have my Keurig at work. But yeah, on long trips, I take the larger ones with me.

Here's one that might have promise. You can use it as a koozie with a bottle/can and/or with any liquid,




$15 on Woot

Anyone ever get the item # on the soft cooler? I've checked the Walmarts in the Lafayette area a couple times a week now for a couple weeks and still haven't seen any.
