I won one at a fishing tournament as a door prize. I like it but wouldn't spend 300 on a ice chest. I'm sure it would come in handy in mid August during a hurricane when Ice is hard to find.

I'm sure it's a great product, but there is a section of yeti owners who bought a yeti so that they can tell their friends they have a yeti and andvertise it on the back of their jacked up 4x4.
It's become a redneck status symbol for some, which makes me weep for humanity
I'm a bit of a smartass at times and have contemplated buying an igloo sticker for my car but haven't seen one
Yes, the "look at me y'all I gotta Yeti durrr" crowd successfully rustles my jimmies every time.

This guy
But I might get one one day. I am gonna measure the height of my boat's front deck and find an ice chest that is the same height.

A guy I know bought two or three of them to keep in his offshore boat and I can contest that it makes a difference. We use to go tuna fishing on over night trips and all the beer ice would melt half way into the first day. Now it last almost the entire trip.

I know a gentleman that purchased 3 of them on the live auction at Josey's benefit a few weeks ago. He took home $2,500 of Yetis that evening. They did contain mystery guns in them and it went to a great cause. Point being, that man was serious as shite about becoming a Yeti that evening.

I mean it's way worse than the Maui Jim and Costa crowd.
At least those sunglasses are utilitarian.

One of the few logical reasons to justify buying a yeti

I have two, didn't pay for either.

I Yeti, got a good price on the 75 and I've used it a few times already. I justified them largely based on durability. I go through 1-2 of the inexpensive coolers a year with broken latches/handles, etc. Sure it would probably be cheaper to buy another inexpensive cooler or get replacement parts but I'm willing to pay a premium to not deal with the hassle. No jacked up truck and no Yeti stickers though...

Might hold ice a little longer than other icechests but this is probably negligible.

Let me know if you find a good one. Igloo could actually market an anti-yeti sticker w/ their logo on it w/ what I would expect to be outrageous success.
Plus, I think that would be a great branding of their company. "Igloo: I just want my ice chest to cool, not my reputation"

If given one I would keep it and use it and crow about it as others do. However, I don't need and ice chest that costs 20x a normal ice chest when an igloo, etc., works fine for what I need.
