Opinions on yeti coolers?
What are some opinions on Yeti coolers? Worth the $$$$?

I have 2, medium and large. When I bought them there was nothing better and there still may not be but I think there may now be some that are just as good or close to a yeti but cheaper

In short, ABSOLUTELY!!!! I was skeptical until my family all pooped in and bought me one. A firm believer now with not only a hard cooler but the ramblers and soft cooler in the family. They sure aren’t cheap but they work! I would t be scared of using an off name brand like cabelas instead of yeti or grizzly. Just remember that for them to be officially bear proof they need the locks installed not just the latches they come with. Surprising how many people don’t know that.

I picked up an RTIC cooler. It is a HUGE improvement over my old coleman extreme. The new rotomolded coolers are VERY efficient.

I bought an Engel from UK here in Edmoton - as good as Yeti, 30-40% lower cost. But worth the coin compared to the old coleman crappers.

We use Mainline coolers. I believe just as good if not better than Yeti, but not cheap either. Day 8 of Elk camp this fall we still had ice cubes and no water in the bottom of the cooler. An investment but well worth it IMO.

I looked into both yeti and pelican. Ended up buying a 70 quarts pelican at the time I love it since bought a 30 and 20 quarts pelican. They are great coolers a little cheaper then yeti and I didn’t like the rubber straps on yeti. I prefer the hard plastic lid lockers on the pelicans

It’s like anything.
It’s what one is willing to afford.
If you have $$$ to spend and it doesn’t bother you, then buy it.
If you don’t, then you will buy what you can afford.
It’s like having a girl friend vs having a wife.
Both do the same thing, but one will cost more.

We thought the owner was bit goofy bringing in Yeti stuff to sell at the shop. The cups and stuff sell pretty well, the coolers are slow going, even to staff. I always look at them as that, they are only as good as what you put in them, was cold to start with, and they won't perform any better than anything else, if you are constantly opening them. And if you are not opening them-- why did you haul it out there in the first place?

Canadian Tire in Leduc had 80 liter Yeti style coolers on sale for $200. I think the brand was Woods.
