Are YETI Coolers Worth the Money? - Yeti 65 Review

After over three years of owning a Yeti 65 cooler I think that Yeti coolers are indeed worth the money. Yes, despite all the hype I think they live up to their reputation for being the best. If you are the kind of user that needs ice to last the longest in a bomb-proof cooler, then a Yeti might be the right cooler for you. On the other hand, if all of your outings don't last more than an afternoon, perhaps put that extra money towards gas and good times.

Do you think putting stickers on the cooler was a good or bad idea? I change my mind almost every time I look at it.

ah a man of culture that BCM sticker right there.

Love my 45 Tundra. Road trips, camping, fishing trips, tailgating, bbq’s, etc. It’s part of the family at this point. I have a lot of good memories with my Yeti.

Love the sound of the wind in the pine trees in the background. May be my favorite sound in the world. It's like a softer steadier version of the sound of ocean surf.

I don't have a Yeti but my coolers all have a few stickers. Stickers give those coolers character!

Love the BCM sticker, a man of culture.

Nice review. Thanks. I had eyed a 45 for the past 6 months. Trying to find the retired Ice Blue color to be exact. Patiently I waited and looked at all the online listings. Well an Ice Blue 65 popped up yesterday and I just couldn't pass it up. I have yet to use it, but I hope it's not going to be too unmanageable. I guess my son could always help me carry it if need be :-) I have an 18 Hopper but I still may get a 45 down the road if I find a really good deal on one. But this 65 might just be my once in a lifetime cooler.

I have all the soft shell Yeti coolers & I love them.

Worth it? Maybe.

Just cracked open an ice cold drink I pulled out of mine - it’s been in my truck bed since Saturday night after it sat outside under the sun all Saturday.

Kept food cold over a 3 day camp and 2-3 days afterward. Honestly lost track.

Good? Yes. Worth it? Maybe.

Who cares if it’s a status symbol? So are cowboy boots, watches, cologne, trucks….work hard and own nice things if you want. If you are fine being mediocre by all means buy a timex, wear Dan post, rock an igloo, and buy a 2wd Truck. It’s funny how tore up guys get over this stuff. A $400 cooler that last years I cheap….we spent that per meal at Disney last week.

The more stickers, the better. Especially if they’re crossed sabers.

You can buy a mini fridge and a 12 volt power inverter for 100 bucks if you're going on a road trip.

Some of the cheaper Colemans (the Cubes) come close to keeping things frozen as long as my 65L Yeti, but I'm in bear country (Griz and Black) and when locked the Yeti is a bear safe cooler. That alone is worth the extra $$ for me, I see too many tourons' coolers with a bear eating out of it in the Rockies and Pacific Crest.

Yeti is more of a status symbol.
I love them mad they work great for what they are. I would never use anything else but if you can’t wast 500 for. Cooler then they are not for you

Good video hopefully we’ll see more content.

Spent 40 on a nice cooler, installed a high grade temp gasket... Only cost an extra 30....

[Lowfrequen-C]

Just got a Tundra 45 and the top warped within 3 weeks in average Florida heat. It’s crap.

[Loupster]

How is it holding up? Has your lid warped?

[dewmontjerkins]

Just bought one... have it in my house with 10lbs. of ice and 12 beers for a test.... now 48hrs. later all melted? WTF?

You don’t work for Yetti by any chance ?
