Compact travel bags, comfortable shoes, and phone cases that allow me to take my MetroCard out without digging around in my bagare a few choicefavorites. But surprisingly, the one product that has really made an impression on me is the YETI 20 oz. tumbler.I'm not the only one apparently. With nearly 12,600 reviews, it's rated a solid 4.8/5 stars on their site. At $30, it's listedin a highly competitive price range with peers for a performance that can't really be beat. Personally, I would have paid a lot more formine.There's a reason that most of the images you'll see of YETI products on the internet feature them surrounded by people in camouflage gear. And it'sbecause everythingthat theycreate is built specifically forthe outdoors, focusing onengineeringproducts that can withstand the elements without ever lapsing from ahigh-performance level. Founders Roy and Ryan Seiders grew up hunting, fishing, and traveling outdoors, and they realized through their experiences that most of the products they hadweren't exactly up to snuff. Handles would break, latches would snap, and lids would cave in on products that weren't especially well-made or durable. So instead of buying a new cooler every year, they set out to make the products that they would use every day, if they only existed. Since they were the customers that they were designing for, the Seiders brothersdecided that YETI's product innovation shouldcome from necessity and firsthand experience, rather than market research. As a result, everythingfeels deceptively simple at the same time as beingextremely convenient.I mostly just use my tumbleras a way to keep my coffee hot during my commute. Thanks to double-wall vacuum insulation, the coffee I left the house with at 8 a.m.is still piping hot at 11 a.m.And thanks to YETI's proprietary No Sweat, there's never anycondensation transferredto myhands while Ihold it.Becauseit's viable to transition from home to desk with a nice cup of coffee, not only am I a lot more chipper, but I've alsostopped spending so much at the Starbucks near work. And though the temperature control is really what soldme on it, it also doesn't hurt knowing that I could probablyrun overthis with my car and still have a functioning product.Whether your weekcalls for a trek up Everest, abackyard barbecue, or an hour-long commute to work every morning, you're probably able to see the benefits of owning something engineered for the wild.YETI Rambler 20 oz.
