I totally agree, We need to start buying or making things in our own country. For example majority of hunting gear out there is absurd amount of price and you still get the made in Chin-ah tag on it but with offices in USA. IE. First Lite. I refuse to pay this ridiculous mark up on a product that you know are being made for pennies on the dollar.
MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN !
I just looked at all of the packages...
The mugs and associated are marked: "Designed in Texas. Made in China".
The coolers only have USA markings, but nowhere do I see a country of origin statement.
To be honest, what we most want for our business is the YETI mugs as they laser engrave the best, by far of all the powder coated mugs out there. (Pelican mugs always look a little smudged along the edges) But to carry the line, you must bring in a sample of the entire line up.
We burn a lot of custom mugs for corporate.
I have mixed feelings about the coolers, due to price, but will be trying one out this week to see if the "ice time" claims are legit as that is the biggest draw for me.

So funny listening to Canadians who drink NRA Kool-Aid. Can't imagine what it was like in your household when NRA TV went down the toilet. Must have been hard times for some of you. Yeti is a quality product and does more business in one hour than any BS boycott can muster up in the snowflake portion of the gun world. Effen first world problems gentlemen.
I have a Yeti 20 oz mug and love it. Stainless and seamless on the inside. I had several Bubba mugs and had ancient coffee leak from those seams. I also have a stainless Timmies mug that predates the Brazilian consortium taking over and changing it to plastic.
It's amazing how many businesses here get piled on for not pleasing certain folk.
