I would also add that I have it on strong authority that Yeti are also Godzilla PROOF but they couldn't get the verification past Legal (ahem) so they can't use it in advertising.

That Youtube video showed that Igloo is just junk. After too many at my house with hinges, latches, and drains that break, I really don't care that they come from near Houston.

I have a Yeti - given to me. Pretty impressive. But there is just no way it is worth $400 to me. I don't do expeditions. I just need to keep drinks cold for a weekend at most.

I just seems nuts to me that a cooler is worth as much money as a decent semiautomatic handgun.

Add: anyone that puts a Yeti sticker on their truck without being paid to do so is just lame.

I'm buying this for Sunchaser!

Save your money. I like Simms....these are great caps.



Took me awhile to notice but the cap I got in the last Yeti purchase was made by Simms.

My Yeti was a gift, but i'd gladly pay full price right now for one.

Now back to those Chevy interiors..

^and tailgate handles.

Alright fine, I'll buy you a Simms hat.

The Brute Outdoors 5 Day cooler IMO is better than Yeti. I have 2 Yeti coolers that were gifts and they are great. I bought the Brute 5 Day Cooler and I like it better than my 2 Yeti's. A Brute 75 5 Day cooler is around $300 and the 50 is about $250.

Yea, but how many hats, t-shirts and stickers do you get with a Brute?

I have a yeti 45qt that was given to me for Christmas one year, and I love it. I'm not sure I would buy one for myself at full price, mainly because I am cheap like that...

However, to answer the original question, the price comes from the construction and method of manufacturing. Yeti's are roto molded, as compared to other plastic manufacturing process (injection, blow molding, or thermoforming). Plain and simple, roto molding is a long, dirty, and expensive process, but it allows for the product to have a much thicker side wall, and therefore is much stronger than coolers made from traditional manufacturing methods. This is what gives the yeti and other similar coolers the ability to be run over and withstand the weight of a jeep.

I have a Simms shirt. **** all y'all haters.

which Simms shirt do you have?





his impression of colt McCoy

Buy a Brutus. They're Aggies. Oh and, Yeti's are good too.

This should push you fence dwellers off and to your local dealer to get you one now!
