Texsox Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I was just about to pull the trigger on a Yeti cooler and stopped. I'm wondering if I really want an ice chest that I have to worry about getting stolen. My daughter has one and yes, it seems great, but mine will be sitting out at campsites and sitting covered in the back of my truck. Worth it? I just would be so pissed if I had my $400 cooler stolen along with all the provisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 If I ever spend $400 on a f***ing cooler just come put me out of my misery given I'd clearly have lost my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) This is just my opinion, but I looked at the Yeti's and the cost+the fact people steal them made me buy a MUCH cheaper MaxCold and its been fine if not great. Holds ice for several days, has wheels, good size. Edit: Upon checking I have a MaxCold and an extreme 5. Both are pretty great and under 100 bucks. Both hold ice for several days in hot weather.

Texsox Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 The Extreme 5 or 6 is what I am looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 They are indeed awesome. I think I'd rather just splurge on a coozy. In the future, they will be great for camping if they ever cut down their price or become so popular they are stolen less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I also don't understand why so many people have the Yeti stickers on their cars. But I am in the deep south, so they usually have Duck Commander and Trump stickers too.

Texsox Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hey, my daughter is putting a 50 and a 24 hour on her Jeep to mark the 50 mile and 24 hour races she has run. But actually, what bumper stick isn't lame? Your favorite sports team? College? Vacation spot? CB Handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which sticker you are referring to, but this is the bumper sticker for Great Divide's Yeti. They are very common in CO. http://www.amazon.com/Great-Divide-Brewery...l/dp/B01CJ7UV46 Is the one for Yeti Coolers just the one the spells out "YETI"?

RockRaines Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Coolersforsale.com has a pretty great site comparing these higher priced coolers. Surprisingly Yeti's didnt do that well when they did an actual ice challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yeti coolers are completely overrated and overpriced. Who the heck wants to lug around a thousand pound cooler with no wheels? They seriously do not keep ice longer than some middle of the road coolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
