roken handles,
busted hinges,
failed latches,
caved-in lids,
cracked corners.
Sound familiar?
If you’re like most, you’ve experienced all of
these with the coolers you’ve owned. Even
the most expensive ordinary coolers can’t
take the punishment dished out by the
average outdoorsman, let alone the pros.
That’s why we make YETI® Premium Coolers.
YETI® lid latches
are the same
latches used
on ATVs
Rotational-molded construction
makes a YETI® virtually
indestructible
Inner and outer shells of ordinary coolers
are glued together and the seams separate
over time. Both the lid and body of a YETI®
are one-piece and have no seams to fail.
Ordinary coolers are injection and/or blowmolded. These processes are relatively
inexpensive, high-volume manufacturing
methods commonly used for everyday
products like soda bottles.
YETI® Coolers are
roto-molded just like
whitewater kayaks.
On the other hand, YETI® Coolers are
rotational-molded (roto-molded), like
whitewater kayaks, to ensure impact
resistance and long-term durability. This
process is more costly, but the end result is
a cooler with a superior durability advantage. Once you handle a YETI®, you’ll notice
the big difference.

YETI® Coolers are built to take the rugged abuse that
comes with the way we work and play. Unlike ordinary
coolers, which are essentially “disposable”, a YETI® is
made to last!
If you have an ATV,
you’ll recognize the heavy- duty, rubber
T-latches on a YETI®. They’re built to
withstand a pounding and they’ll last for
years. And, since the latch keepers are
molded into the body, they will never break.
The YETI® Tundra is
certified bear-proof
by the Interagency
Grizzly Bear
Committee
(IGBC)!
One-piece, seamless construction
provides long lasting durability.
YETI®’s full-length, integrated
hinge system will not fail
The first thing to go on most coolers is the
lid hinge. Whether it’s a door-style hinge or
a molded plastic hinge, it is prone to fail.
The lid hinge on a YETI® is molded right into
the cooler. A full-length aluminum rod
connects and holds the body and lid
together. And, hinge-stops are molded into
the lid, so the hinge can’t hyper-extend and
break.
You can’t
break the
handles
on a YETI®
How easy is it to break a handle on an
ordinary cooler? The handles on a YETI®
YETI® Tundra
meets the USDA’s
Interagency Grizzly Bear
Committee (IGBC) standards
for bear-resistant containers.
They have been thoroughly
tested in both controlled
bear simulations and with
wild grizzly bears. With locks
in the integrated padlock
ports on two corners of a
YETI®, grizzlies get nothing
but frustrated.
are made from marine-grade nylon
rope with a textured rubber grip. There’s no
slippery plastic to hold onto while transferring to a boat or a truck. Attachment points
are integrated into the cooler body.
Screw-in, gasketed
drain plug is leakproof and rugged
Broken or leaky drain
plugs are another common problem with
ordinary coolers. YETI’s gasketed drain plug
is leak-proof and designed to drain when
partially open without having to fully
remove the plug. The cooler floor is
channeled and recessed near the drain plug
opening so you can drain every last drop.
“
A very well designed product.

This is the Ferrari of coolers.

Keep ice longer!
t YETI®, we set out to design a cooler that
does what a cooler is supposed to do –
keep things cold! Thicker walls, more
insulation and a full-frame gasket translate
into dramatically superior ice retention.
Thicker cooler walls mean more
cold-containing insulation
The walls in our best-selling YETI® Tundra
are two inches thick and filled with
premium polyurethane insulation for
maximum ice retention. You’ll typically find
just ½ inch of insulation in ordinary “disposable” coolers and maybe an inch in the
more expensive models. The bottom line is
that insulation thickness correlates to ice
retention and YETI® is second to none!
YETI® Coolers don’t
just close, they seal!
Unlike ordinary coolers,
YETI® Coolers feature a
full-frame, freezer-quality
gasket that seals around the entire lid to
minimize air exchange. This seal, combined
with ample insulation, assures you of
maximum, long-term ice retention.
When it comes to durability and ice retention, nothing beats a YETI®!

Durability
We put even more insulation
in our lids
Because a cooler lid is subjected to the heat
of direct sunlight, we opted to put three
inches of premium insulation in the lids of
all YETI® Tundra Coolers. That’s 50% more
insulation than in the cooler walls! We find it
utterly amazing that some cooler manufacturers put absolutely no insulation in their
lids. That’s like insulating the walls of a
home, but not the attic.
Keeping things cold is what a cooler is all about.
With thicker walls, more than twice the insulation
and a full-frame gasket, YETI® out-performs the
competition-it’s not even close!

Tips To Maximize Ice Retention*
1. Pre-cool your cooler – Starting with a warm cooler
consumes a lot of ice in order to cool the heavily insulated
walls.
2. Use quality ice – Ice can get much colder than its
freezing point. Warm ice, that is ice near 32°F, is typically
wet to the touch and dripping with water, thus will not
last very long. Cold, sub-zero ice is relatively dry and will
last substantially longer.
3. Freeze or pre-chill contents – Prior to loading, freezing
or pre-chilling cooler contents like meat or beverages will
help your ice last longer.
4. More ice, the better - We recommend filling your cooler
with as much ice as possible. Ideally you want to have an ice
to contents ratio of at least 2:1.
5. Use dry ice – Unlike ordinary coolers which become brittle
and crack, it is safe to use dry ice with a YETI®. Dry ice provides
approximately 3X the cooling power of regular ice and leaves
more room for contents.

In my world, a cooler is as important

be much more than just a place to keep

Bomb Proof
"I loaded up my YETI on Friday on the way down to
the Texas coast. Fished all weekend in the hot Texas
sun and had plenty of ice remaining to keep my
fillets fresh for the trip home."
“I loaded my 155qt YETI Tundra up with about 100
lbs. of ice and about 30 bottles of water and Coke
last Thursday. One week later, it is still about 1/3 full
of ice! That's 7 days with the cooler in direct
sunlight, in the back of my truck in 90+ degree
Florida heat and still 1/3 full! My best Igloo cooler
that claims to be a 7-day cooler would be total
water after 3 days in this heat...”
“This YETI cooler really is the last cooler you will ever
have to buy. I own and operate a fishing and
hunting lodge on the Bighorn River in Southeast
Montana. The temperatures during the summer
months frequent the high 90's to 100. These coolers
keep ice for multiple days even in those temperature ranges. Also, these cooler are truly bomb proof.
Fishing and hunting guides are definitely a true test
for gear durability, and these coolers hold up!”

The Contest
“We held a YETI ice retention contest in our store,
filled the cooler with ice and customers were asked
to enter the contest by guessing when the temperature would reach 40 degrees F. Over a period of 7
days the temperature never moved. On the 8th day
the temperature started to slowly creep up 1 degree
at a time. It finally reached 40 degrees, 10 days (248
hours) after the contest began. When we opened
the lid there were still a couple chunks of ice floating
on top. Everybody was amazed.”

“The YETI coolers stay in the back of our fire trucks.
They are filled day and night with Gatorade and
water. We usually add a little ice each day, just to
keep them topped off. With our old coolers, the ice

the YETI we can go two days and still have ice and
enjoy a cold drink at lunch. They are the best built
cooler I have ever seen and will certainly hold up to
