YETI Rambler 42 oz Tumbler with Handle and Straw Lid - Superior Ice

Our review of the YETI Rambler 42 oz Tumbler finds it best suited for people who want a large, durable travel cup that keeps cold drinks cold for hours. The single biggest reason to buy is its reliable double-wall vacuum insulation, which preserves ice and chilled beverages through long commutes or full workdays. Built from 18/8 stainless steel with a no-sweat finish and an elevated handle, it feels engineered for heavy use without unnecessary fuss.

Key Features

• 42 oz capacity: Holds enough water or iced beverage to last a long shift or day trip so you refill less often.
• 18/8 stainless steel: Durable construction resists dents and drops, keeping the tumbler looking and performing well over time.
• Double-wall vacuum insulation: Keeps drinks cold to the last drop and preserves ice for extended periods during hot days.
• No-sweat design: Prevents condensation, so hands and bags stay dry when carrying a full cup.
• Straw lid with stopper: Straw lids are shatter-resistant and include a molded stopper to keep the straw secure for convenient sipping.
• Dishwasher safe: The tumbler and lid can be cleaned in the dishwasher, which reduces maintenance time.

Who It's For

The Rambler 42 oz is ideal for commuters, field workers, parents, and anyone who drinks large volumes of cold liquid during the day; the large capacity and robust insulation mean you can rely on one fill to last. Its elevated handle and cup holder-compatible design also make it practical for travel and long drives.

People who mainly need a small mug for hot beverages or who prefer fully sealed lids for hot drinks should look elsewhere, since the included straw lid is intended for cold liquids only and is not for hot beverage use.
