They didn't win vs RTIC.. No way they have a shot vs walmarks

Yeti is middle of the road when it comes to cooler pricing. A similar sized Frigid Ridged will run you roughly twice what a yeti costs.

The only problem I have with ozark is the rubber gasket on the lid has been sliding off when I pull the lid up


One of ours had an issue with the seal rolling up/down when removed from the cup. I pulled it off and there was a lot of flash on the inside of the gasket that prevented it from seating well. Trimmed it up and all is good.

what are you doing to your ice chests to go through them like this I do just about every activity imaginable with ice chests and have had the same ones for many years


Fish.
I have a grave yard of Igloo's.
Handles rip right out on an Igloo if full of fish. And if you dare stand on one, ba-by.
If you are tailgating or just putting drinks in an ice chest, use whatever you want.

Agreed. I like that Igloo Marine grade.

Does anyone like the soft Yetti with the zip top? How much are those. I might pick one up for Sailing.

ETA: Apparently these are the "Hopper". $250, $300 and $350 for the 20/30/40 gallon sizes. I don't know about all that.

I've gotten two hoppers as gifts. I don't use them much other than when I float the river. They're perfect for that and they hold ice all day, which is actually a big deal because before it would always melt about halfway through the day.

I also have a Yeti cooler and love it. It also was a gift though. Not sure if I would personally pay the price tag for one, but i've had no issues. I especially like it because when I tailgate I can put it in my backseat and not worry about any water leaking out. I don't really need ice for multiple days at a time very often, but when I do camp I rarely have to refill it, which I did before I had a yeti and used just coolers from wal-mart after a day or two.

If you need to keep ice for a day outdoor activities there is absolutely ZERO reason to choose a yeti (which costs and weighs 2-3x as much) over a simple igloo cooler. For overnight offshore trips or camping the yeti serves its purpose, but otherwise it is a waste of weight and money.


Seriously, what size are they. Are you looking for someone to take them off of your hands?
