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

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.
