I only own one Yeti (a 20 qt Roadie) and it just so happens that I got it at a Friends of the NRA banquet about 4-5 years ago. It works fine, but is so big and heavy for such a small capacity, that I usually just grab the Igloo Playmate.
If I had a need for another LARGE heavy cooler right now, it would be a Bison or Rtic. Both better than a Yeti, both cheaper.
Hope Yeti has good luck trying to sell 45 qt coolers to the libs to put in the back of their Subaru...

I bought a brand new Yeti 60qt cooler for $50.00. My buddies son was stationed in the Philippines and they sold for $50.00 there. Pretty good mark-up huh?
I did have to pay an extra $100.00 for shipping. So I am into it for $150.00 and that is about what it is worth.
People pay stupid money for a cool brand? WTF a fool and his money will soon part....... Except, what you got is not actually a Yeti... a knock-off is just a knock-off and does not have to match Yeti specs... If it is a Yeti knock off, it is a very good one? My point is they are over priced but the fan boys love them, are you a fan boy ? I just googled it and Yeti's are made in the Philippines as well as the USA

A bunch of models are made in the Philippines so I would gather you got the same thing a guy buys here in the states for $399

Vibe Element Cooler for $169 has turned out to be an excellent Yehti knockoff with some nicer features. I ended up buying a second one...😎

I collect them from garage sales and estate sales when needed. Easier to pack and move when full. Currently have @6 on hand or the basic igloo type.

I have used them quite a bit and they work extremely well, but so have several different brands of essentially knock-offs. Because of their prior support at SHOT and other sporting groups I had no ill feelings toward them. They changed that!

For the price of a yeti cooler you can buy a small chest freezer and a generator.

Another good ultra cooler maker is Engel. Lifetime Products (located and does all manufacturing here in Utah) just came out with a super-insulated 55-gallon cooler for $90. A 30-gallon is in design right now.

I'm sure it was a business decision on Yeti's part. The NRA is toxic to the majority of Americans. It's the times we live in but the NRA has nobody but itself to blame.

Not nearly as much as quack doctors. But while we are at it, how about you just give us one example of any crime the NRA is responsible for?

If Yeti is located in Austin Texas it's no big surprise they are going over the hill. The town is nuts. They probably got a tax break for dropping the NRA. The only thing I own is a Yeti drink container. I won't be getting any more things of theirs.

I am glad I went with RTIC. And I hope RTIC and the rest are all listening.

Not nearly as much as quack doctors. But while we are at it, how about you just give us one example of any crime the NRA is responsible for? So, who said they committed any crimes? I said they were toxic to most Americans. That's especially younger voters, most of whom absolutely hate the NRA. Association with the NRA is bad for business in this day and age. Whether or not they committed any crimes is an open question, didn't they funnel Russian money to the Trump campaign?
