Good reading at the end on Made in USA for YETI and CANYON coolers.

You can buy an American made cooler from all of these companies

Grizzly
Pelican
Orca
Bison
Esky
Engel
Yeti
Coleman
Igloo.

Some of these companies may also have some production overseas but some it is all here on US soil.  So if Yeti makes some coolers overseas and some here and you choose to buy from a company that is all overseas then you just tell Yeti that there is no reason to continue making coolers here.  Please support American workers.

The Yeti brothers split.  The brother took the yeti know how and is supposedly selling stuff for half of yeti.   It says in the add.  Half the price as yeti.  The yeti brother is now sueing him.   I'm not in the cooler market so don't know all the facts, I think he is using the brand artic or something like that.   It's Arctic but spelled differently.  I'm sure you googlers can sort it out.

I love how we complain about our economy then are happy to save a $100 buying a Made in China item rather then support one of the many USA manufacturers of coolers.  Then when those get shipped over seas we will complain and boycott that company.    Stop supporting CHINA

I get that, but the difference is 50% in cost with no difference in quality.  I would like to see a US made cooler sold for a competitive price.  It doesn't have to match the price exactly, but having their product double the price isn't a viable option for many of us.

Further, they sell their made overseas version for the same cost as the made in the US version, so many of their customers are paying double to support an Asian country.

I have a Yeti 65 and its been a great cooler. Only thing is when its full of meat and ice its a heavy bugger. I wouldnt buy a bigger size. I use a reliable kill bag for elk and deer quarters.

I think YETI has a few lawsuits going against their competitors but I've never read where Roy and Ryan Seiders, the two brothers who started YETI, had split or started new companies.

I'm currently working on a review of Yeti, Orion, Canyon Coolers, Meadowcraft, and Esky. I can tell you that I am really liking the Orion and the Canyon Cooler. I'll post my final thoughts here when I get the review finished.

The Coleman Extremes are good coolers and keep food cold a long time. Unless you're planning on throwing your cooler around, save the $300 and spend it on a new rod or some ammo.

I used a Yeti 65 in Idaho last week for the first time. I loaded it with a weeks worth of pre-cooked meals that I had vac packed and frozen. I threw a couple of icepacks in for good measure. I opened the cooler once a day to pull that nights meal out to thaw. On day 7 as the cooler was almost empty, the remaining meal was still partly frozen. I don't think I would use them for everyday cooler stuff, not worth the money. But for specific uses like keeping a weeks worth of meals frozen without continually buying blocks of ice, they're great. I am interested to see the side by side by side comparison that you're doing CoryTDF, that will be helpful.

I have been happy with my Coleman Extreme. Will probably get another little bigger one.
