Meet YETI Employee #3

Just about everyone here at YETI has a story but there’s one guy that keeps the good vibes going. Lewis has worked at YETI since the beginning. A friend of the family, the founders brought him on to help handle the increasing workload. He’s seen the rocket ship rise of the company but still manages [...]

Dealer display contest winners

YETI Coolers recently held the 2nd Annual Dealer Display Contest. We asked our dealers to get creative and have some fun with their YETI Coolers in-store displays. In exchange, winners would take home a big YETI credit. Judging was primarily based on creativity and size of the display, location of the display within the store, [...]

New YETI diggs…new YETI sticker wall

It was just a couple of years ago that we moved into our new headquarters. There was so much room, our main office doubled as a miniature football field. Well…that didn’t last long. Before we knew it, we were overflowing with people. We even had to turn our supply closet AND break room into extra [...]

Duck Dynasty is back and YETI is happy, happy, happy

Duck Dynasty is back in full swing and we couldn’t be happy, happy, happier about it! We’ve known the Robertson family for quite some time now, dating back to the early days of Duck Commander. You’ve probably even spotted the guys abusing using a YETI Cooler from time to time. So we decided to dig [...]

Word cloud illustrates how you use your YETI

Last week, YETI Coolers conducted a very UN-scientific research project on Facebook. We asked our fans what their favorite cooler size is and what they like to do with it. We received some awesome (and hilarious) feedback. The Tundra 65 was the most popular cooler and when it comes to what they use it for…DRINKS [...]

Memorial for ex-Navy SEAL hits close to home

YETI Coolers is deeply saddened by the loss of ex-Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who was tragically killed on Saturday, February 2, 2013. He was laid to rest on Tuesday, after a 200-mile journey that started in his hometown of Midlothian and ended here in Austin. He was buried at the Texas State Cemetery next to [...]

SHOT is one of the biggest shows of its kind, attracting industry professionals from all 50 states and more than 100 countries…more than 62,000 people [...]

Little visit from a hometown football hero

YETI Coolers calls Austin, Texas home. We happen to share this home with a little school called The University of Texas. While we do have a few strays from Aggieland, the majority of our employees live and breathe Longhorn football. It’s an obsession. Hey! We’re the first to admit that we’ve hit some bumps in [...]

Counting our blessings

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and, in the tradition of the season, the folks here at YETI Coolers wanted to sit back and reflect on what we are most thankful for. Without a doubt, it is our loyal fans and customers. We are reminded all the time of what an amazing group of people YETI appeals [...]

An anglers dream come true

Fly fishing in the Florida Keys. It was a something Tyler Murdoch only dreamed about. Sure, he grew up casting with his family in New Jersey but that’s nothing compared to that emerald blue water stocked with everything from tarpon to tuna. An escape the paradise was exactly what the Murdoch family needed. They’ve had [...]

We all scream for ice cream…and beer!

It doesn’t take much to get the folks here at YETI Coolers excited…especially when there’s beer involved. So you can imagine the mood when a massive mobile keg from Deschutes Brewery rolled onto our front lawn. Hailing from Bend, Oregon, Deschutes was on a tour of Texas, celebrating their launch here in the Lone Star [...]

YETI Halloween

Everyone was in high spirits (get it!) Halloween day at the YETI office as our 1st ever Halloween Costume Contest kicked off. A lot of celebrity look alikes were in attendance. Troy Landry showed off his alligator wrangling skills, Lance Armstrong took a break from litigation, and even Bob Ross painted a few happy clouds [...]

Look Who's Using YETI

"If you put all the coolers that I’ve bought throughout my lifetime end to end, you’d have coolers from Homestead to Houston…Now why would YETI come along and ruin a perfectly good consumer like myself?"

Flip Pallot, Legendary fisherman/TV show host

"When I’m in the wilds of my Yukon moose territory, I need the toughest coolers on the planet to keep our supplies safe and fresh. Nothing compares to YETI."

Jim Shockey Hunting Adventures

"I never really knew there was such a big difference in the quality and effectiveness of a cooler until I got a YETI. Makes all my other coolers seem very temporary. Everyone always wants to borrow my YETI. I don’t blame them…but go buy your own."

Jay Gregory, The Wild Outdoors

"We log lots of miles each year pursuing deer, elk, and all sorts of other big game. Being tough on our gear just comes with the territory. Thanks to YETI, we never have to worry about melting ice, spoiling meat or broken coolers. YETI does the job like no other! Everyone else is playing for second place!"

Lee & Tiffany Lakosky, The Crush

"In my world, a cooler is as important as a home refrigerator. Coolers have to be much more than just a place to keep cold drinks. They have to be a seat for a 300 lb man and a casting platform. I used to buy coolers frequently as the lids would be destroyed and they would no longer hold ice. No more! I have a YETI now; a lifetime investment."

Tom Rowland, Saltwater Experience TV

"Insulated to the hilt and built like an armored truck! Finally, a cooler tough enough for serious outdoor use. YETIs are not only durable, but best of all they keep ice like no other cooler. Get a YETI and you’ll be out of the cooler market for years!"

David Morris, The Bucks of Tecomate

"Everything in my life is supernatural-safari grade from my underwear, to my bow, to my vehicle, to my YETI COOLER. Anything less than a YETI COOLER is like bringing a vegetarian salad to my birthday party Bar-B-Q."

"Razor Dobbs Alive" TV

"YETI Coolers are the most durable ice chests I have ever owned! We use them on our guide boats every day and they look like new, keep ice for a week and make great casting platforms."

Rich Tudor, Saltwater Experience TV

"The YETI Coolers are the Rolls Royce of all coolers. I have taken mine on several flights already and they even stand up to the baggage handlers in the airports. That’s the quality I need in a product."

Dick Scorzafava, The Radical Bowhunter

"Knowing the ice in my YETI Coolers will still be frozen when I return to the trailhead, I am able to hunt longer and farther into the wilderness. With a YETI, I know that the meat that I have harvested will be kept ice-cold until I’m able to get it out of the mountains."

Mark Seacat, Live Hunt

"I’ve never seen a product that is so far advanced from others in its category, truly top in class. There is absolutely no match for a YETI."

"As professional guides we want professional equipment. YETI Coolers are definitely professional grade!"

Rick and Julie Kreuter, Beyond the Hunt TV

"Chasing big bucks from New Mexico to Saskatchewan, we demand the highest level of performance out of our gear. YETI Coolers protect our meat and capes en route to the processor and stand up to rugged abuse in the field. We don’t leave home without them!"

Pat Reeves & Nicole Jones, Driven TV

"Finally a cooler that works and stands up to my lifestyle!!! Whether I’m chasing Roosterfish off the beach deep in Baja, catching world record Redfish in the Gulf of Mexico or surfing a remote reef break in mainland Mexico, YETI Coolers keeps everything cool and fresh even in the hottest locations. There is no cooler on the market that can stand up to a YETI. PERIOD!"

Conway Bowman, Fly Fishing the World

"I got the YETI Tundra cooler, it’s awesome, a real hunter’s tool."

Mike Hanback, Big Deer, Inc.

"If you think you’re saving money by going with a lesser cooler than a YETI, you are dead wrong. YETIs stand up to heat, weather, bumps and bears all while providing a comfortable seat for our rafting guests and keeping food and drinks cold for days. We used to replace coolers at the end of each season before we wised up and invested in the quality of some YETIs. Best on the river."
