re: is there a real difference in between YETI and all of the knock offs

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

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.
