I absolutely love this product.
I own many tumblers and luxury coolers including several YETI products... At twice the price, my YETI doesn't come close to the high level of performance my Pelican provides.
The proof of quality can be felt in the weight of this product. This bad boy is HEAVY!!!
My work keeps me constantly on the road. When I make a stop, I don't have to worry that my ice will melt, even when I leave it for several hours in harsh Florida climates. On several occasions i've left this in my car when I arrive home in the evenings. The next morning theres still ice left!!
If you're drinking a hot beverage like tea or coffee, be careful. It's going to stay just as hot as when you filled it up for a few hours at the minimum.
The lid preforms very well. Yes if you turn it over and a small steady stream will seep out. But with that you gain the ability to remove the slide for cleaning which is a god send for cleaning. Its threaded which creates a super secure bond. be careful not to overtighten because you will have a hell of a time getting it off.
With a lot of similar products there is an annoying hissing when you're drinking the contents, especially with carbonated beverages. I don't know how Pelican was able to stop this from happening but you can bet that this small annoyance will be a thing of the past.
This product is also extremely attractive... I get compliments a few times a week.
As far as I am concerned, this is the Rolex of tumblers; The best of the best. At an amazing price too! I wouldn't think twice about buying another.
