HereComesTheReignAgain Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I always laughed about how expensive the Yeti soft sided coolers were. They recently came out with an updated version, and all of the "old" Hoppers are now $100 off. I just picked up a Hopper 30 and I have to say it is pretty damn impressive. I usually go through a small soft sided cooler every couple years and buy a few crappy styrofoam coolers for various cookouts etc. This new cooler should last many years and will actually keep stuff cold. I also have a nice Canyon Outfitter 55 that has been nothing short of great. It has weathered many tailgates and camping trips without much more than a scratch and keeps ice for days. Had anyone else given in to the high end cooler calling? Any recommendations for future purchases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I have a yeti soft cooler (I think also hopper 30) and also one of the larger hard coolers. The hard cooler was a gift from a vendor at work so even better. Love em both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) We've went to visit with my brother in law last summer. We spent one day by his pool and it was toasty out there. He had a Yeti cooler with drinks and beers which I naturally visited on occasion (OK, constantly). They were all perfectly chilled! He said he got the cooler at some charity auction and he couldn't' believe how awesome it was. That's stuff had been out there in the same ice for days!

Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I don't know about the coolers, they're just too expensive, but I do have one of the Yeti coffee cups. They're unreal. I drink iced coffee before work sometimes. Last week when it got up to 93 here in Vermont I left it in my cup holder in my car for about 4 hours. When I got in my car to leave work it was about 97 degrees in my car, but amazingly there was still ice in the cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yeti are awesome, but I don't want a cooler that I have to worry about being stolen. I actually had that happen once. I left a cooler full of beer out while camping at a public campground. It just grew legs and walked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the cooler that was coveted, or just a convenient get away vehicle full of ice cold beer? But yes, some might pay ransom $$$ to get their Yeti back.

TheElectricCompany Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The better question - what do you want to do with it? A normal Coleman or Igloo will be fine for day drinking, some of their nicer ones are fine for a weekend of camping. We just got one of the Coleman coolers with a tow handle and big wheels and it advertises it will hold ice for 5 days. Yeti coolers are excellent, but unless you're going on 7+ day adventures, what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go up to buffalo and bring a cooler of beef for everyone in September it rides iny truck bed 14 hours. Than overnight until I put it in the hotel room. This is usually on a Thursday. Come Sunday most of it is still frozen solid and they're just igloo brand from Walmart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought home a bunch of tamales from El Paso last year and I used dry ice, which was surprisingly difficult to find there. Nearly every grocery store sells it here. Thnking back, the ice cream warehouse that I bought dry ice from seemed kinda shady. Like Tio Salamanca was watching me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I had no idea these things even existed! I'm going to order a pair right now. I have never had a beer go warm on me....ever. Use a koozie only in the cold, not when it is warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm drinking too slow. I'll crack a beer while I'm mowing the lawn, take a few sips and set it on the back deck stairs, and return after about 5 minutes of mowing and it's already tepid. I like my beer ice cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
