Yeti is officially saying goodbye to one of its most popular drinkware items, and fans are scrambling to grab the last of them before they disappear for good. The brand has confirmed that the 42-ounce Rambler Straw Mug, the stainless-steel powerhouse that became a hydration staple for commuters, campers, and desk-bound workers alike, is being retired.
As part of the send-off, Yeti has slashed prices by 30%, marking down every remaining color of the oversized mug while supplies last. It’s a bittersweet farewell, but one that offers a rare chance to score a massive, double-walled tumbler for roughly $32 instead of $45.
The 42-ounce Rambler has long been celebrated for its double-wall vacuum insulation and kitchen-grade stainless steel construction, keeping drinks cold for hours without a hint of condensation. Its broad handle and sturdy base made it an instant favorite for those who wanted maximum volume without sacrificing portability.
“The straw makes it so easy to sip my water at my desk that there’s no way for me not to end the day well-hydrated,” said “Food & Wine” senior editor Phoebe Sklansky, who’s been vocal about her affection for the now-retired model.
That kind of loyalty isn’t unusual for Yeti fans. The company has built its reputation on bulletproof construction and thoughtful design: products that survive road trips, workdays, and tailgates with equal ease. So, when a fan-favorite tumbler gets pulled, it hits hard.
Yeti’s Alternative Choice
If you miss the window on the 42-ounce Rambler, Yeti offers several other heavy-duty options worth checking out. The 35-ounce Rambler Mug delivers nearly the same capacity with a more compact profile, while the Yonder Bottle, a lightweight, hatter-resistant, BPA-Free 50% recycled plastic model designed for hiking, caters to outdoor adventurers who don’t need metal insulation. The 35-ounce Rambler Straw Mug is a worthy successor for anyone who loved the 42-ounce version but wants something that a less ostentatious sitting in the car’s cupholder.
Even as the 42-ounce fades out, Yeti’s lineup keeps evolving. The brand has leaned into slimmer silhouettes and sustainability-focused designs, trading sheer capacity for lighter, more travel-friendly builds. It’s a shift that reflects how most people use their tumblers now: less “truck bed ready,” more “desk-to-trail versatile.”
Still, there’s something iconic about the retiring design. The 42-ounce Rambler represented Yeti’s overbuilt ethos: a go-anywhere, fill-it-once vessel that made even basic hydration feel elevated, while keeping the temperature constant. Whether you used it for coffee on early mornings or ice water on the road, it embodied exactly what Yeti does best: making rugged gear that earns its place in everyday life.
