You can also buy extra accessories from yeti or a number of eBay retailers (I despise Amazon) including handles and spill proof lids.

In reply to Annah. That is some great info Annah. Thanks for sharing. I have noticed that one of the distinguishing differences between the cups is the quality of the lid. I will make sure that I include that when I do the next stainless steel tumbler update.

I purchased a 30 oz RTIC at a travel station in Texas for under $11. It keeps ice up to 36 hours. Love that. The biggest problem I have is that the top is just pushed on and when the cup falls the lid flies off and all contents are spewed all over. Also the top that it came with has a small opening (unable to close or cover) drink out of that spills the liquid contents when tipped all over my backpack. You can purchase a different lid that has a slide closing cover, but that still does not change the weak link of the push on top.

In reply to arta. Technically they are all dishwasher safe, but I have read several places that the dishwasher can eventually wear out the seal. So in my family we just go ahead and wash any of our tumblers (stainless steal or plastic) by hand.

In reply to Steve Whiting. Hi Steve, All of these tumblers have some sort of lid. How good they are with spills is going to depend on the one you choose. I haven't had any problem with my Ozark trail tumbler and my wife has been more than happy with her RTIC one. I guess the real test is if I fill a stainless steel tumbler up with water and hand it off to my two year old. Although, I am pretty sure that she can make ANY cup spill all over the place.

In reply to bobby blackburn. That sounds like a pretty good deal. Usually the $11 stainless steel tumblers are slightly smaller than the ones I researched for this post. Thanks for letting everyone know!!

Ice is nice, but what about spills??? Not very useful if the liquid spills on your car interior or clothes, are they?

What info do you have as to spill prevention?

I purchased a RTIC tumbler for $11 and did not have to go online or worry about shipping.
