Yeti Coolers?

[cohoho]

We had two boat coolers on a trip in Florida - one Xtreme cooler - water by 1:00pm.  The other was a Yeti- was still great with almost no ice melt- I know which one I am buying for the beer cooler!!!   I do not like warm beer...

  there are other coolers for hALF THE PRICE AND JUST AS GOOD.    THAT IS a lot of money just to keep your beer cold.   mike w

hey from what I hear there great but like other people have said there far from free but I guess to a degree you get what you pay for.

I guess its hard to understand until you own one.

Love mine. Will outlast any igloo or coleman.  They are built to last!

I can convince myself to shell out good money for quality once I am convinced of it. Another problem I have with these "extreme" coolers is their outside volume compared to internal capacity. That 95 qtPelican cooler at Costco takes up about as much room in the back of a pickup truck as does a 165qt Igloo. If you're going on an elk hunt, how many of these things will you bring?

There is not a whole lot of size difference between my 128Q Igloo marine and my 125 Yeti.  Outside dimensions are within 1/2 inch I think.  Although the Yeti weighs about three times more dry.  And the handles on the Igloo are not flush.  The 160 Yeti is 5" longer and about 1" taller than the 125/128 models.

Hard to compare the 150 Pelican as it is not a long box cooler.  I tend to stay away from treasure chest coolers when hunting as I don't always bone out my quarters.  They are usually better at keeping food and beverages cold, but there is no way you will fit two elk quarters in one.

I have the 95 qrt Pelican and love it.  I particularly like that it is american made and that all the parts, like handles and hinges can be replaced easily.   Just my two cents!
