We give Yeti's to customers, it's probably the most recognized name across the country. We tried K2s since they are local but didn't get the same reaction.


As for how they work, 99.9% of people won't notice the difference from one to the next.

All of the better brands do a good job with this.

I've never put a single part on any of the Yetis I have, through years of tailgating, fishing and vacations. They don't leak, either.

I hate to re-buy stuff.

If I was going to buy one, it'd be a Pelican.

Yeah they all seem pretty similar. The difference maker is most likely how long they hold up and whether or not they leak.

Same. Better to spend a little more now than to have to keep buying over and over.

Did you see that video? It's a video where they do a contest between all the top end coolers.

Now that I have a RTIC that I can put side by side with a Yeti, no way I would ever buy a Yeti for double the price. It's the same damn thing.

I think I saw a link in one of these threads showing that Igloo kept ice the longest.

They make excellent shipping containers for electronics and guns. I would look hard at them. Not sure about the latches on the coolers.

Henderson, one thing, all these coolers are heavy AF.

Engel won this one from 2010. Maybe Igloo makes a lot better cooler now though.

I haven't seen the video in a while, but I think the Coleman Xtreme wins.

It won't matter to most people, but they straight up copied YETI.

They out-Chinesed the Chinese. I have no respect for them, so I wouldn't own one.
