Down to the Yeti 35 vs the Roadie 24. Which one would y’all choose? (roadie 24)


(Tundra 35)

35

I'm not a fan of the "Cube" taller versions.

** I have a 50qt Cube and I'd much rather the 45qt which is lower and longer

Is the Yeti 35 true to size?

I believe they have interior and exterior dimensions listed on their website.

I have the roadie 20 and tundra 45.

I think the 35 would be the best option.

I tend to agree, but many outdoorsy dads get them as gifts, so I don't necessarily judge them. I have a $200 pair of Costa's that I would never ever ever pay for with my own money, but since they were a gift, I don't mind people thinking I'm a douche, and they are great glasses.

Back to coolers, I've never had a coleman or an igloo cooler iced up and thought to myself "if only I could keep this ice cold for 16 days".

Neither have I. Also never picked up an ice chest and though to myself I wished it was heavier.

Rotomolded coolers do have other advantages however. You don't have to replace latches and hinges on a Yeti (at least I haven't). Also, I find them at their best when using frozen items in place of ice.

They are expensive but they do last. I think that 35-45 qt area is a good sweet spot for most uses.

I have 2 Yetis that stay with my 5th wheel. When we have the 5th wheel at the lake in the summer, you need to hold ice for several days.

But for fishing, road trips and the like, I use a Coleman. I'm putting fresh ice in it every day anyway.
