By point-by-point comparison, in addition to the common features, I also found out what advantages they respectively have.
YETI Rambler vs. Hydro Flask, which is the winner? It is up to you to judge.
#1 Keep Cold: YETI or Hydro Flask
Indoors or outdoors, you can expect ice to stay for 24 hours without completely melting, or even up to 36 hours. Your drink will be still ice after a day!
Tests have shown that Double-wall vacuum insulation plays an important role in both YETI water bottle and Hydro Flask.
#2 Keep Hot: YETI
The result reveals that under the same condition, YETI does a better job of keeping the beverage hot.
I poured the just-boiled water into the bottles (same size 20 oz) and tightened the lid. After 6 hours, the water temperature in the YETI was 148 ℉, while the Hydro Flask was 139 ℉.
#3 Price: Hydro Flask Hydration
The pricing of the two in the small water bottle (16 oz, 18 oz, 22 oz) is actually not so much different. Then, I focus on the price of the large water bottle.
The winner is the Hydro Flask because its large water bottle is more cost-effective.
#4 Durable: YETI Rambler
There is no doubt about the outcome of the competition for durability. Once I stood and dropped the water bottle from my hand.
As a result, the bump caused an indentation to the YETI, but the cap did not fall off. How did Hydro Flask perform? Unfortunately, the water spilled out.
But there is no damage to the insulation. They can also continue to keep your drinks icy or hot.
Hydro Flask vs. YETI warranty: Please know that Hydro Flasks provides lifetime warranty while YETI offers a five-year warranty.
#5 Look: Hydro Flask
Hydro Flask has more colors and sizes than YETI.
Personally, I think that a customized look is an essential factor in making Hydro Flask popular. The design is very aesthetic. If you take a photo with this item and share it, it is very likely that you will get a lot of “likes”.
#6 To Clean: YETI
Dishwasher Safe is one of YETI’s labels. For cleaning Hydro Flask water bottles, the manufacturer recommends hand washing. Because the dishwasher may cause the coat fading, peeling or cracking.
