Team YETI® Gets Down and Dirty

You could probably have guessed, but YETi® employees are every bit as tough as our coolers. They are so tough they put grizzly bears in headlocks and shave derogatory statements into their fur, like “prissy bear”. Several of them took part in the Run the Jailbreak mud run on March 31^st in Austin, TX. If you are unfamiliar, a mud run is an obstacle course race that is usually 5K in length and can have as many as two dozen various obstacles. The obstacles are specifically designed to test the runner’s agility, strength, stamina, and most importantly, their willingness to get completely filthy. One our accountants that ran said the most challenging part of the race was “running while being soaking wet”.

Could use a little more mud

It was a mixed group for the race. There were seasoned mud run veterans with several races under their belts as well as first timers. Seasoned or green, everyone was excited and ready to see what they were made of. When asked what the most challenging part of the race was, the only girl in the group gave a very Miss America answer.

“Trying to look pretty, even though I got muddy!”

Team YETi® might continue to be a fixture at local mud runs in the future, too. One of our account managers boasted that next time he would run it “backwards and barefoot”.

If you happen to be in the Austin area participating in a mud run, keep an eye out for us. Team YETi® is hard to miss.

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."
