RTIC16oz Coffee Travel Mug with Lid and Handle, Stainless Steel Vacuum-Insulated Mugs, Leak, Spill Proof, Hot Beverage and Cold, Portable Thermal Tumbler Cup for Car, Camping, Cardinal

Lefty here- I totally understand my brethren lamenting the lid orientation forcing the handle to your right hand, but that’s a small nitpick for the quality and value you’re getting. Just hold it in your left hand sans the handle or take the lid off- you’ll be alright.My context- I got this as my daily coffee cup. I wanted to move away from disposable cups at work and also wanted something light and reasonably sized. I don’t drink a gargantuan thermos of coffee everyday. A handle was a big plus because I wanted to be able to hook it on a carabiner when I wasn’t using it and it makes the grip much more secure. Another want was something that would actually fit my car cup holder.So here's a list of what makes this awesome in my opinion- 1. geometry. It’s 16oz but on the taller skinnier side v short and wide. And the handle is placed higher. This means IT ACTUALLY FITS in your car cup holder. Big deal for me, since usually between the width of the cup or the handle, this is overlooked or you have to sacrifice one for the other. And let's face it, those super-wide cups are impractical- hard to get a handle on and never fit any holders or bag pockets.2- airtight lid. If you screw the lid on all the way and close the lid, it’s legitimately air tight. There will be no leaking. The only thing that freaks me out is because the lid has a bit of a lip, I always envision it somehow catching on something in my bag and getting popped open. That pop-top type lid and the lip on it are actually great design and super convenient for easy opening and drinking, but just leave me no peace of mind in a bag with other valuables like my laptop or journal in it. Therefore I tend to store only where there’s a dedicated bottle pocket or it’s upright and there’s nothing around it to potentially catch on. If it was possible to have a "safety" of sorts added- a metal latch or hook you could secure as a guarantee it's not opening for any reason other than your volition, I think I'd give this another star.3- easy cleaning. Because of its rubber lined pop-top instead of sliding lid, not only is it airtight but you can actually clean the lid very easily. No funky, unreachable crevices where mold and bacteria can grow. It also is airtight without needing silicone or rubber gaskets, which are another classic area on bottles that get super funky. All my friends throw away their sliding lids because they get uncurably gross, but this is no problem for the RTIC mug!4- light weight and good quality. This thing gets knocked and throw around quite a bit in the daily bustle, and other than the outer paint getting a few knicks it’s still in awesome shape. I know some people complain it doesn’t keep hot/cold as long as those super thick and heavy double wall thermos containers, but it does so plenty long for my purposes (it doesn’t take me hours upon hours to drink 16oz) without all the extra bulk. It’s a bonus that it looks good and I get a lot of compliments on it as well.

This is a great cup for a righty. It's excellent at keeping coffee warm, fits in most cup holders. Mine's bright yellow and I love it. As many others have noted, the lid does not work, LIKE AT ALL for lefties. The left handed cover is triple the price here on Amazon, and a more reasonable five bucks at Rtic but without free shipping. Annoying. This would be a 5 star cup if they simply included both left and right covers with the original purchase.

Qualities that sold me on this style mug.....I love the attached stainless steel handle that does not go all the way to the bottom of the mug....so it fits in my car cup holder. The handle doesn't interfere at all! I also love the screw top lid with flip top. It makes this spill proof. you can close the lid and hold the mug full of liquid upside down and it does not leak! You can still put a straw in the open flip top if you want. You can also get a good size "chug of a drink" out of the opening if you are really thirsty.I have been a big fan of YETI for their durability and specific qualities. I will continue to shop for the qualities I like in both YETI and RTIC in specific drinkware designs. In the travel mug division...RTIC takes the win!The handle, the screw top lid and the smaller circumference... how the whole mug fits in my hand....have absolutely sold me on this mug! I personally have two of the 16 oz. and one of the 20 oz. (the 20 oz. is just a bit taller to accommodate for the extra 4 oz.) The colors are great! I have lilac(light purple) , flamingo (light pink) and very berry (deep dark pink). I use the 20 oz. for water/cold drinks with me and refill throughout the day and the 16 oz. for coffee.One other thing that I really like is how the rubber seal works! I use cream in my coffee and most lids have a rubber seal that touches the liquid and the coffee/creamer/liquid gets around that rubber seal so you have to make extra effort to get under the rubber seal cleaned. BUT this cup has the lid threaded so the coffee is stopped by threading/twisting the lid on.....the coffee only touches the rubber seal at the end to ensure the extra leakproof part. I still clean the lid well, but the rubber seal is rarely dirty because it doesn't usually even touch the liquid.I also got the white 16 oz. and charcoal 16 oz. for the men in my family. They like them, too! Although my dad says it doesn't keep his coffee hot enough..... please note that He wants it to be just short of boiling hot and sip it for hours.... and most cups don't do that! He still uses the mug....just accepts that is will cool down a bit for his liking. He also wants to take hours to finish the coffee and wants it to continue to be almost boiling hot that whole time. I feel this is unfair to expect from a mug...and he hasn't found a mug to do that yet. I think it keeps coffee hot for plenty long enough to drink it in a reasonable time. I love this mug!

I've been carrying around this tumbler for over a year now and it's one of my favorite. It keeps my drinks cold all day and there's still ice end of the day. I ended up buying two because my mom started using it too. The 16oz is perfect for my morning coffee/ice tea when I go to work. One of the reasons I bought this tumbler is because I can see through the lid and there are no crevices for mold to grow. I can clean the inside with my hand and sponge instead of using a cleaning brush with a handle. HOWEVER, one of the cons is that I noticed that the lid's flip part (mouth opening) break really easily. Both broke when the tumbler was fairly new with light usage. I've had a few leaks as the flip popped off and got drink all over my bag. I think the lid needs to be more sturdy as I don't want to keep replacing it. Not sure where I can buy a replacement as I don't see it on Amazon's RTIC store. Overall, I'm pleased with the tumbler and will continue to use it.

La calidad se ve muy buena, la tapa es de enrocar que evita se salga. Está tapa sella mejor que el Yeti pero no es termo, sigue siendo vaso de café. El color increíble para que.no se pierda en el bosque, es ligera y conserva las cosas calientes o frías por mucho tiempo.

El color es fuerte, tiene una capacidad suficiente.para taza y media de la bebida, mantiene unas 3hrs muy caliente la bebida y hasta las 5 horas tibia. No se me ha derramado si está tapado correctamente.

Disappointed that there’s no mention of the mug being branded for another company. My guess is the seller got these cheap, as they look like misprints with the text not centered properly…and is reselling at retail price. Glad this was only for myself and not for a gift!

ME ENCANTO LA VERDAD ESQUE LLEGO EN EXCELENTES CONDICIONES, APENAS LO PROBE CON LIQUIDOS CALIENTES Y SI GUARDA EL CALOR POR ALGUNAS HORAS NO ESPERES QUE DURE UN DIA HIERVIENDO PERO ES SUPER COMODO Y LINDO ME SUPER MEGA ENCANTO.

Tiene excelente calidad, el color es muy bonito, mantiene los líquidos calientes por varias horas, la tapa cierra de forma perfecta por lo que no se derrama el contenido, lo recomiendo!
