Review on 🥤 RTIC 6 Tallboy: 10 oz Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated - Top Benefits & Features by Gina Cravalho

Revainrating 4 out of 5

In general, the mug is good, but the design of the lid needs improvement

In general, I like the mug very much. I chose this mug because of the size and the RTIC brand is of decent quality. I'm only saying "decent" because I'm not making detailed, comprehensive, weighted comparisons. It does a reasonable job of keeping drinks hot. As with any thermal flask, the mug will stay hotter longer if you preheat it because the heat from the liquid doesn't need to heat the inside walls of the mug. The lid has a very secure seal on the outside. Don't worry about a leak around the lid or the lid unexpectedly detaching from the mug. The only criticism of this cup is that the hinged lid cannot be opened sufficiently. It settles in your nose with every sip, which is a problem when drinking hot liquids. I removed the flip top and used the top as a simple splash guard, not to clean up spills. I also drilled a second vent higher on the lid as the fabricated vent was (in my opinion) too close to the drinking hole resulting in the liquid causing a vacuum plug. Adding a second hole solved this problem. I would recommend it to others as the poorly designed flip top is the only real barrier to getting a 5 star item.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
