YETI tested, soldier approved

We are so grateful for our troops and we absolutely love hearing that a good cooler gives them one less thing to worry about. Here’s an email we received from CPT Jared Cox. Dear YETI, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you and your company for making a great product. My Battery [...]

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 [...]

New color for YETI® Coolers…GOLD?

The London Olympics were one of the most talked about events in Twitter history…16 days, 150 million tweets. No surprise that triple-time gold winner Usain Bolt was the star of the Twitter show, with Michael Phelps coming in a close second. And a little further down the line falls 3-time Olympian Brendan Hansen. In London, [...]

SeaDek…the new hunting accessory

YETi® Coolers® and SeaDek® have been good friends for a while now. We initially teamed up with them to create a custom, slip-resistant cushion that is perfect for fishers. If offers excellent traction and extreme comfort when using your YETi® as a standing or casting platform. Now, we’re offering a new color for all you [...]

YETI® survives tumble down IH-35

Here’s a quick story sent into our customer service team: Myself and my friend were driving down I-35, northwest of Hillsboro, Texas in Hill County. We were following behind a boat in right lane when this cooler came out of the boat. It slid down the right lane into the left lane when a big [...]

Exhaust melts cooler but lobster stays frozen

Here at YETi® Coolers, we hear some pretty crazy stories. Last week, we told you about how a burning YETi® managed to still keep the beers inside, cold. This week, a customer told us another impressive one… We went to Florida last week to do the Mini Season Lobster Dive in the Keys. The guys [...]

3 fishermen versus 400 pounds of fight

Some might call it the perfect combination…Shiner beer, street tacos and fly fishing. Well…not actual fly fishing, but a documentary about hooking the world’s largest freshwater fish. It’s called the Arapaima. This prehistoric predator can weigh over 800 pounds and reach lengths of 10 feet! To fishers, it’s the stuff dreams are made of. There [...]

Lights, camera, HOT action!

The summer heat hits early here in Texas. The overcast skies may have kept the temperatures just below 100 degrees but the humidity kept the sweat flowing freely. Still, we had work to do. Today, it was shooting a handful of new how-to videos. We already have more than a dozen demonstrations online but we’ve [...]

50,000 fans and counting…

What a difference a year makes… One year ago, the folks here at YETi® Coolers were thrilled to reach 10,000 Facebook fans. It was a BIG deal. We always knew if we created the absolute best cooler on the market and put customer service at the forefront, we would do well. But the support we’ve [...]

Update: YETI® Sticker Wall (need your help!)

We’ll trade you one of ours for one of yours. You may remember last year, we moved into our new headquarters here in Austin, Texas. We asked for your help in filling up our new Sticker Wall, and the YETi® Nation responded in force! Now, a once bare, boring wall is nearly covered in stickers [...]

Jose Wejebe – Loss of a Legend

Jose Wejebe lost his life on April 6, 2012 in a plane crash outside of Everglades City, Florida. We were saddened and shocked to receive the news, as we imagine anyone who knew Jose was. He had been a Pro Staffer with YETi® since 2010 and was a true legend in the fishing industry. He [...]

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."
