Take it from a tumbler hoarder.

And even those of us who do sometimes need an option thats a little more travel friendly.

The unique lid is what sets this tumbler apart.

The wide-mouth spout is great for hiking, exercising, or anyone who prefers to gulp rather than sip.

And the double-wall vacuum insulation keeps ice for a full day in my experience.

My tumbler has been dropped several times with only a few scuffs on the body to show for it.

However, the plastic lid is more prone to showing wear and tear, especially if its dropped.

The Hydroflask All-Around Tumbler is my go-to when bringing coffee on my morning commute.

Its also available in 12-, 20-, and 28-ounce sizes.

The Hydroflask tumbler has a very smooth sliding closure that eliminates any splashback.

And should you prefer a straw for iced drinks,Hydroflask sells a press-in straw lid separately.

Plus, it cleans up beautifully in the dishwasher.

The pattern I have is not dishwasher safe, but this appears to vary based on the finish.

I can even slide it into my backpack sleeve to take to work.

Although this tumbler is only available with a straw lid, it has a surprisingly tight seal.

If I could only have one, I would go with theReduce Cold1 40-Ounce Tumbler.

This affordable tumbler weighs less than comparable options of the same capacity from other brands.

I tested options with a standard pour spout as well as a straw.

I prefer smooth, gliding lids like that of theHydroflask All-Around Tumbler.

But some situations call for a truly leakproof lid.

Cup Holder Compatibility

Most insulated tumblers are designed to fit in cup holders, but not all.

TheRTIC Everyday Tumblerhas a narrow design that fits in every cup holder Ive encountered.

StanleysThe Quick Flip Go Bottleis the only one on my list that doesnt fit in my cars cup holder.

Insulation

All of the tumblers on my list are made from double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel.

These offer the best temperature retention for both hot and cold drinks.

This vacuum-sealed gap prevents heat transfer, keeping your hot drinks hot andcold drinkscold.

The Quencher H2.0 FlowState has a generous capacity, excellent ice retention, and fits most cup holders.

However, if leaks are a concern, this is definitely more secure than your standard straw-lid tumbler.
