    These things are tanks by buddy had his 65 in his truck bed full of meat forgot to shut tailgate got to highway speed saw cooler fall out and slide across road only a little road rash other that no problems and lid stayed shut and meat was safe
    You wouldn't have even had to slow down if it was a yeti.

    1) a Yeti woulda closed the tailgate for itself.
    2) if it still fell out, a Yeti woulda caught back up to the truck and jumped back in.

    Gotta admit- never expected nor looked for a warranty on a cooler but I guess when you get into cooler price stratosphere that's something you add to justify the price.
    So glad that's a warranty tracker I don't deal with.  Stay cool/or hot  =)

    Funny thing is that I've got a Roadie and a Hopper 30 but my favorite cooler by far is this little cheapie on wheels. Bought it in Billings MT before we set off for Yellowstone. It's small enough to stuff inside checked luggage so it's been on many vacations. It's great for the wife and I when we just need a couple of drinks each.

    @Spaightlabs  if he bought a yeti he would not have been to buy meat to put in the cooler and it would have never fallen out

    You guys can clown around all you want, but I have used Pelican's lifetime warranty...my cooler lid warped from being in the extreme heat.  This was 2 years after purchase.  Brand new one sent to my doorstep.  

    I'd be pretty pi$$ed if I had to buy another at 200 plus.  Some of y'all must light your eggs with Franklins.  

    The residual butthurt ooze will be epic, and will require insertion of a rectal tube.

    Nahh but money was made to be spent. Warranties for a lot of lower priced items aren't worth it sometimes. TV, computers, coolers.   Just fix it or buy new.

    You answered the question eloquently.  No one gives a ****.

    Some folks do seem to be really emotionally tethered to their cooler selections.

    Got my 30 soft cooler yesterday and quickly wished I'd ordered the 40.  Went to the RTIC website and the soft coolers are no longer on sale.
