Does anyone know where to get replacement pig nose shaped feet for the colorless coolers? Just noticed the other day I’m missing one on my smaller cooler.

I’m still rocking the yeti 65 I got back in 2012, which was back before all the copy cats came out. If I was to get another, it would be a rtic.

I have two yetis. I didn’t pay for either one, one of them. I won from a raffle at a conference and the other one I got as a gift from a vendor. I like them, but I wouldn’t spend that much money on one. I buy igloo and Coleman, and those work just fine. And all Styrofoam ice chest actually works the best out of all of them.

I rarely use a cooler these days, I use a 12v/120v Fridge most of the time. Mine can be half fridge, half freezer or all fridge. I power it with a 100aH Lithium and I've ran the fridge on it non stop for 6 days.

Just went on vacation and I loaded it the day before into my truck. I plugged it into the house until I was ready to leave. Then ran it off the battery for 2 days until I checked into the condo. Moved it inside the condo and plugged it into the wall. Then used that same battery without charging for the return trip home. No mess, no ice. Ice is for the poors

Igloo has been my ice chest for many years. Not the best but they melt about the same rate that I want to drain water off of game for aging venison.

I have a shite ton of yetis. I use them for bigger events where things have to stay cold for days as they are big bulky and heavy. They will keep things very cold for a very long time if they are pre cooled and left alone. If you open and close them repeatedly, they don’t wok much better than an igloo.

Price point is a thing however I bought a RWB igloo at academy for one of the work trucks and that bitch was 80 bucks.

The yeti on wheels is the solution for that


Weighs 25lb empty. Add ice and drinks and it's over 50lb. fricking stupid.

An igloo weighs like 6lbs empty has wheels and keeps ice for a day. You can buy alot of ice for $200+.

Has anyone ever actually purchased a yeti for themselves or are all these excuses like when people say they don’t eat fast food but then have in depth knowledge of fast food menus

I purchased a shite ton of them. The back pack and rollers are cool but nothing special to justify the money for the end use. Now the yeti chairs are def worth the money

Rtic is good, in fact, better than every other except Yeti.


Just got a really good deal on Orca, after researching, they are ahead of Yeti in some instances. Plus only one made in the USA

Split my time 50/50 between my RTIC backpack cooler and my Igloo backpack cooler. Mostly for crawfish boils and bring your own beer activities. I don't need to keep my beer cold for three days.

Went with a classic made in the U.S. Coleman when I saw that all the Yeti and Rtic coolers I looked at were made in Mexico, Cambodia, Thailand and China.

Yea I’ve been using this $40 dollar back pack cooler from bass pro mostly for the convenience. It’s holds about 15 beers with ice. More than enough for a day of drinking.
