Agree with this for sure. I've had these for several years and they are as strong as acid.

Plenty heavy, though.

That is fairly unimpressive. I have an igloo that does way better.

or 1 day of tailgating in extreme heat adn all day of opening and closing opening and closing, a yeti provides extremely little benefit vs a top of the line coleman or igloo.


and the colemans have more benefit as they weigh much less.

Would have gotten one more day out of the ice if you had pre-cooled that Yeti with liquid nitrogen...at night with a full moon.

I used to ice all the beer at around 1PM on Friday.


why not ice it down sat morning? beer on ice for 24 hours isn't as cold as beer on ice for 1 hour

Something else to stir the pot, the Yeti soft side:

YETI’s are known for being indestructible and keeping things cold. And the Hopper 30 is no exception. It’s the first 100% leakproof portable cooler that’s built for the long haul and is insulated to keep ice for days. It’s reliable. It’s convenient. Easy to carry and designed for those on the go. It’s well-suited for a weekend at the ranch, a BYOB dinner at the Salt Lick, 18 holes on the golf course, or a day on the water. Not your ordinary soft-sided cooler. And like all YETI products, built for the wild.

I have to call BS on any one that says they have a cooler that does better - any cooler I don't care what brand or how much you paid that is opened and closed all day long outside in the sun and gets warm beverages added to it will be a bucket of water at the end - I know the water in my coleman wouldn't be 50 degrees though.

No but it has been proven that Colemans do better then Yetti when kept closed LINK

I did as well, I've been wondering when a watertight soft side would come out.

Colemans don't hold ice worth a crap after the lid is warped from standing on them which I did within the first week of purchasing one.

Proof's in the cooler.

I iced down water and sports drinks for my kid's birthday party Sunday morning. Kids were in and out of the cooler all day long. 72 hours later I grab a couple of drinks in the morning, and I still have ice in it - a lot of ice. This is a giant old white igloo with a crayon marker stuck in the drain hole to keep the water from leaking out. Probably a $70 cooler.

Saturday I iced down water and sports drinks in a K2 for a day of soccer. Checked it Tuesday morning (roughly same time frame as mentioned earlier) and there is no ice. Water was cool, but no ice. This is a $300 cooler.

Maybe the Yeti is a better cooler, but the K2 is shite.

A giant cooler full of ice will obviously hold ice longer than a small cooler full of ice. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.
