Yeti hopper 30
DIAD
Posts: 187
I am sold on the hopper 30. Such an amazing cooler. Like everyone else I don't want to pay $350 for it. Are there any deals that you know about? I found where I can get a free side kick dry pouch for the side of the hopper but that doesn't reduce the cost any. If you have any opinions please share them. Otherwise, I'll just pay the $350.
thanks!!
thanks!!

Obviously buying from a reputable source with free shipping and no state tax is the first step. REI might be considered as a bargain after the 10% rebate at the end of the year.

I have the hopper 20 , 20% off at rei last weekend helped. Austin kayak offers coupons from time to time. I am looking to add the sidekick, that's $35 off at least.Seattle, WA

+1 for REI. Used my member coupon and dividends to pick up a roadie for $70

Buy it.
You'll never think about the price again.New Albany, Ohio -
Definitely spring for the 30 over the 20. The 20 hold the a ton of beer, but the 30 has extra room for a couple sammies!

If you're not dead set on the Yeti, take a look at Pelican coolers. Better latches, better handles. Never had a Yeti but LOVE my Pelican, made in the USA and lifetime warranty

I looked at the Hopper when I bought the Roadie. I liked it but I felt that the huge zipper would tear my forearm to shreds after a day's use. It was tight sticking my arm in one. Any Hopper owners experience this?

I like the size of the 20, easily hauled it around on a day trip we took. I anticipate the bag loosening over time...but its going to take a while that's for sure.Seattle, WA

I just ordered a Roadie, kicking myself because I forgot about REIs rebates with it. Still considering adding the bigger Hopper and or a Yeti 45.Large BGE, Mini BGEMorgantown, PA

Ask Cen-Tex, he got some special deal where one came free with his car rental!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Anyone have any experience with beer growlers and the hopper? And is it difficult to drain and dry, or clean the inside if needed?Large BGE, Mini BGEMorgantown, PA

growler fits in the 20. I've wiped down with a towel and stick something between zipper closing (ball) until its dried. No issues.Seattle, WA
-
Maybe it's just me but I think mine sucks. holds ice a day or so. Meh.....
If I paid $350 I would be so pissed. I got it for free and don't even like it. It's about $300 overpriced.

I'm a yeti guy too- just this one sucks. All the other stuff is great.

Im bored and its nice out. Trying the rock salt trick from completely warm fit 18. Why not.
Like an idiot i almost sold my roadie after getting the hopper, would have been a bad move i think.
