life's too short, and most outdoor products too flimsy, to worry about a few dollars here and there. the yeti shite works, bottom line

if the stuff they make didnt work, certainly ridicule/hate would be warranted. but it does work, and god bless them for it

While I like some Yeti products, they're not doing anything new with the bottles that I can tell.

The Rambler was a good product because nobody had perfected that yet. Tervis sucks, and Kleen Kanteen's insulated pint wasn't as good as the Yeti Rambler.

But the bottle market is already occupied by a ton of good products. I can't see Yeti improving on Hydroflask, which appears to be cheaper anyway.

Honestly the bottles look like terrible designs. Vacuum insulation isn't some new technology. Lots of companies have been making really nice very rugged vacuum insulated bottles and cups and mugs for decades. A smart and informed consumer could find a better designed alternative from 1/2 to 1/3 the price. I have Nissan stainless and Zojirushi vac bottles that are a 15-20 years old that look like they have been through a couple of world wars and they hold heat or ice just as good as the day I bought them. Before Yeti most people would have said I spent a lot of money on those, but those top of the line options are still 1/2 the price of Yeti alternatives.

I like yeti as much as the next guy and use their coolers regularly. This is absurd.
