Does Yeti guarantee no ice melting ever or something? Just wondering why anyone would pay $300 for an ice chest.

Yeti's are cumbersome, expensive, and heavy. Igloo's are not.

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.

Its the sticker. No one uses a yeti, because of the price, will be stolen. I have a NOT YETI sticker on my truck, and the budweiser styrofoam ice chest I bought for 5 dollars, in the bed, is still there.

I have two yetis, I put the smaller one INSIDE the bigger one and keep ice for weeks.


I also put a yeti sticker on top of my yeti sticker on my back endow to stay consistent.

The official answer would be, "rotomolded, permafrost foam injected, single rod aluminum hinge, T-Rex handles, etc." I can't tell you how many people have asked the same question in my store. Then, once they see one at their friend's house or get to use one, they come buy one..or two.

The bottom line is that you have to make that value judgement for yourself. However, I am a top 5 dealer in central and south Florida and I have never had one complaint from a customer but I have had tons of referrals and repeat customers...and I offer Coleman Marine as well.

Ive had mine for 3 years and not stolen.

Maybe you dont leave an expensive ice chest in the back of your truck?

be sure to "pre-cool" your Yeti with 30 lbs of ice for 3 days before using it

never in my life would have ever expected to see so many people butthurt over an ice-chest.

It's really sad
