ORCA Chaser Cup

Let's get the bad out of the way:The seal was kind of funky when I first got it. I got two. A blue cup with a white lid for me and a purple cup with a gold lid for my girlfriend. My alma maters colors are blue and gold. Her alma maters colors are purple and white so we switched lids. One of them was way too tight and she almost dumped the water all over the floor. One of them was a little loose and would leak under the mouth opening when you tipped the cup up to sip.Onto the good:That was over a year ago. After a few weeks of daily use, both of the seals normalized to a solid middle ground. It's tight enough not to leak. It's loose enough to pop off safely and easily. Same could be said for her cup.If you keep the cup in an area out of the sun at room temperature and fill it with crushed ice and ice water, the water will be cold for about 16 hours. I know that because if I fill it up with ice water at the end of the work day around 5 and leave the cup at my desk. The water will still be cold at noon for lunch the next day. Cube ice will probably hold it even longer.The cup is impressively sealed. My girlfriends nephews were playing with it and knocked it over while it was full of water. The lid was shut and only a small droplet of water popped out of the airhole from the initial impact. After it landed it rolled around on the carpet for a little while before we were able to get her nephew and nothing else spilled out.It's very robust and that includes the lid and the paint. I was a little hesitant about getting a painted one because I was afraid it would get scratched up but this paint is very thick and very hard. It seems like it is cooked on. I've been using this thing daily for over a year. It's used in my office and car everyday. It's gone with me on countless fishing trips. It's rode in the cupholder of kayak on over a dozen paddle trips. The lid still looks relatively new. A small sliver of paint, about a 1/16th inch wide, around the bottom of the base has worn away exposing the silver metal. Along with a nick on the side caused by who knows what. The paint still has it's bright blue color.It fits in every cupholder that I've ever tried to put it in. It also fits very securely in the water bottle holders on the sides of my two Jansport backpacks.10/10 cup all around. I can't say enough good things about it.

I have had the same cup for several years, bringing it to work every day, outside when working in the yard, and on the bedstand at night. It was basically working 24 /7 for about 8 years. I lost the whale tail closure on the lid a long time ago but it still performed perfectly. Over the years it was scratched but despite numerous drops, it never dented. In the last few weeks it finally started to fail to retain the cold so one of it's falls must have caused a leak in the vacuum. Without hesitation I decided to replace it with another Orca. It performs on the level of Yeti at a better price and has the very cool whale tail lid. I originally purchased at my employment, but since we don't carry Orca anymore, I ordered from Amazon and it was delivered less than 24 hours later. Excellent product with excellent service from Amazon. Thank you so much.

I hear a lot of people talking about other brands, but Orca is the best one I've tried. It's a great size, works great keeping drinks cool, has saved me from spills, has a cool design, & I love the color. It's with me at all times.

I love this cup. It keeps my water cold and a straw fits in the opening. I dropped it once, and there was no damage.

Love,Love,Love my ORCA! I got the pink one. It keeps my drinks cold all day and all night. My first ORCA was given to me by a friend. It is one of the more “high end” models. I was looking around on Amazon one day and there it was a “PINK ORCA”! I had to have. Now I have two so when one is dirty I have a clean one ready. Yes they are pricey but I think they are better than a YETTY. ORCA looks better than a YETTY. Finally, I would recommend the ORCA to anyone looking for a cup that can hold the cold or hot all day and all night.

I bought this as a Xmas gift for my mom. She’s had her orca for years but the flip top tail part broke off. As a mail courier, she needs a water cup with a closing lid to keep dirt from packages from falling in to her water. The image clearly shows the tail lid, and was the whole reason I purchased this cup. When it arrived, the lid was nothing like the picture. It’s wide open with no way to close it. Now she has two useless Orca cups.

Best tumbler I've ever purchased. Super seal on the lid. Drinks stay cold practically forever. Fast shipping and great price too, thanks !!!

The ORCA chaser is a well made cup, nice tight fitting lid with a flip top. The size feels natural in your hand, not too big in overall dimensions. Keeps items cold for the entire day. The person I bought the cup for likes the flawless pink color. Nice upgrade over the older yeti she has carried for the last year or so.Update: dropped the original Orca chaser in the parking lot, some scratches that cleaned up pretty well. Lid stayed on and liquid did not spill. Decided to buy another chaser and leave the scratched chaser in the work van. Over considering the fall and the impact on the pavement the paint held up really well. Great product. Still only four stars because this product although durable and worthy of the task is still made in China and not the USA
