re: So what's the difference in Yeti Ice Chests vs Igloo?

Yeti does a good job at explaining and marketing the most effective way to ensure you get the most out of your cooler. They go out of their way to tell you that a yeti isn't some magical device that will store ice for a week if you just drag it out of your hot garage and fill it with ice and beer.

They do tell you that if you "pre cool" the cooler (add some ice to cool the insulation before you add your storage ice and perishables) then their cooler will hold ice longer than the competition. What they fail to tell you is that this works with every cooler, yeti just markets this common sense idea.
