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 [...]

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 [...]

Potluck

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 [...]

Tyler Murdoch 1

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 [...]

Beer Collage 1

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 [...]

The Art of Paul Puckett

E.T., aliens and the Miami Dolphins.  Those were the early artistic inspirations for artist Paul Puckett.  But prior to prints and paintings, he was an angler at heart.  Paul started fishing when he was a kid.  He remembers taking a two-hour trek from Dallas to Tyler with his granddad, catching bream after bream.  “My dad [...]

"Having spent a lifetime using cheap coolers with hinges and fasteners that inevitably break, I'm glad to see that the YETI is built like the proverbial brick outhouse.

Hell, its built better than the 'fridge in my home!! We learned a tough lesson in Houston after Hurricane Ike. There's no such thing as too much ice chest.

Great product!" - Jeff McDonald Houston, Texas Read More
