Here's a true story about how tough those old Colemans really were. In this old photo from the early '60's, my wife is the one in the middle. Her farther was Air Force and they were living in Spain. Notice the crushed car. They were on their way to a picnic and her dad needed to make a quick stop somewhere on base on the way out. The girls were all in the car with the cooler in the back seat between them.
A Spanish tank convoy was going by and a tank driver lost control and DROVE OVER THEIR CAR. Nobody got more than minor injuries because the STEEL COLEMAN COOLER kept the car roof from collapsing on them. The girls only had a few minor cuts from flying glass.

Under Spanish military law at the time, the convoy commander had the right to shoot the driver on the spot. He pulled his gun and was going to do just that when my FIL stopped him.

They are expensive, but they last a long time.

Yeah get the yeti. It will keep your craft brewed IPA a special kind of chill. Like straight up craft chilled, know what I mean? It's yeti chill, which is what your craft IPA deserves. Don't forget the north face bottle opener.


Something clever here.

To many to compare....going back to looking at rifles and scopes....this is to confusing....


Yeah, there's so many available, why spend twice as much as you have to? It's a freakin cooler. The Yeti 45 was $300 and the Rtic 45 was $170. It was a no-brainer to me. Next time though, I might look into some these other "Made in the USA" brands.


Yep and all these coolers are rotomolded. Surprised at how many are made in the US and Yeti is not one of them, yet is the most expensive. Priceless

Works just as.well as any Yeti.


I bought one of these last year and love it. For the money it has to be the best deal out there.

In case you guys weren't aware being Yeti Pro-Staff has its perks.


Custom, prototype, limited edition.....

Best part, only $199.....

Some say it eases the pain when you bend over and fork out the big bucks for total awesomeness....

I bought a Yeti 65 about 10 years ago. It keeps stuff cold longer than any other cooler I’ve owned. I hunt quite a bit in western Ks, 20 miles from ice. So I can spend time driving to buy ice every day or so, or hunt a little longer.
My only complaint is it’s too heavy.
Also, I received a yeti soft side as a gift. Works very good for all day sits in warm antelope blinds.
There may be better performing or better for the price coolers, but I’m happy my Yeti.

Jim, brace and bit beats the hell out of a dead battery!




Sandbilly, ice cold tacos bro, ice cold....




DSale, heavy for sure, I wouldn't want to carry the little 20 more than very far.




In all its glory!


My life is now complete.
