re: Yeti- Cool after 3+ days.

Really dont get the hate for yeti. If you dont like them dont buy one. How/why does it bother people so bad because othe people buy them? Its not their money.. I have 2 yeti coolers, a 65qt and roadie (both were free). Yes yeti is just like any other cooler if you open and close it constantly getting beer out. To me there are a couple places a yeti separates itsself from the colemans of yhe world.
1. They are tough, i have stood on mine, sit on mine, dropped mine.. and not a crack.
2.The handles. They are durable and dont break as easy
3. If you dont open the yeti it will keep ice for several days, and everything inside nice and cold.

With that said, are those few things worth the extra $300? Maybe so maybe not.. just depends on the person. Put it this way, i was buying 2-3 coolers a year because i would break one, forget one somewhere, etc.. now its like anything else i own with value, i take care of it. I make sure i get it when i leave, i clean it out after each use, and i use it as a seat on the boat if need be. So to me its worth it
