I love my Yeti cups and use them daily. Dunno about the coolers personally, as there are comparable options on the market for cheaper. Their drinkware is the best out there though imho. I think their bucket is silly, but once you get hands on with it you'll see it's not just a $5 Home Depot bucket. Would I buy one? No. Do I kinda sorta get why it's expensive? Yes.
Yeti... the cup kind...

Not to get political, in fact, i stopped reading replies here, but wanted to chime in.
I've attended a couple of conferences and we were given yeti tumblers, im drinking from mine right now.
Pretty overhyped, I have some other mugs/bottles and these would be the second most expensive if I had paid for them but they are nothing special. Best things i have for keeping my coffee hot or a cold drink ice cold are thermal bottles by zojirushi.
I am in the market for a good quality cooler, any suggestions? I realize there are tons of yeti alternatives

Fact - Yeti started distancing from NRA after Parkland shooting. When gun owners started blowing 1.3k coolers online they started doing damage control, no different then what Duck Unlimited did. Sell what you want but personally I would have bought Pelican stuff instead.

Everything Yeti I have ever owned is made in China. He asked where they were produced, not where the companies office is.
Honestly, I think Yeti made a mistake outsourcing their labour like most other companies. A fully made in the USA or Canada line would be cool.

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 !
you DO know that some sponsors got booted because of unethical practices.
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.
