I still cannot comprehend how it is that they have America brainwashed into paying $280 for a soft cooler that looks like it'll hold a 6 pack and a flat sandwich.
RTIC at half the price, is still overpriced. I wouldn't be surprised if we come to find out that they are both owned by the same company. Just marketting the same product to two people with two different price tolerances.

Yeah I'm not in for any of these. My next cooler will be the large Pelican with wheels.

I bought a Walmart Ozark mug for $9 and drew the YETI logo with a sharpie.
I live in Charlotte NC and YETI's popular here, but nothing like down in SEC country.
I walked the (over crowded) beach and saw nothing but YETI everywhere. That and Bama, LSU, Ole Miss, Miss State, Auburn, and Tex AM flags all down the beach.
I told my wife that I feel like the "yankees" from Ohio and Michigan who come down to NC/SC beaches.

You'd be surprised what folks down here in the Carolinas classify as a Yankee.

I was on the beach a couple weeks ago with a $20 Rubbermaid chest cooler.
In the morning I threw an 8 lbs. bag of ice in it, along with beer, drinks and sandwiches for the family.
We drove out on the beach, I pulled it out of my truck, sat it on the sand, and we opened and closed the thing all day long on a steaming hot summer day.
When I got home that evening and unpacked it, I still had at least half of the original ice in the cooler. I did this without buying a $400 cooler.
Now, don't get me wrong. As you guys have proven, there is a place for a highly efficient cooler that can keep ice for days (particularly if left unopened)... notably, multi-day excursions far away from electricity.
None of those people @ColAngus saw on the beach last week needed a Yeti cooler, but I guarantee, they all proclaimed to each other how awesome that overweight and space limited Yeti was performing to all their college buds.

Ain't nothing wrong with owning a Yeti hard-shelled cooler. Some people benefit from the ice retention qualities (deep sea fishermen, car campers, etc). Now this lunchbox cooler, that I don't get.
I'm still rocking my fraternity painted coolers. But have ordered a RTIC softpak. The girlfriend was pleased by that decision.Columbia, SC - in the market for a LBGE -

You guys have me so confused. I thought a Yeti was a really big hairy dude that hung out in the mountains of Tibet or somewhere. Now you're telling me its an ice chest. So I looked it up.
The Yeti (/ˈjɛti/)[3] orAbominable Snowman(Nepali: हिममानवhimamānav, lit. "mountain man") is anape-like cryptid taller than an average human that is said to inhabit theHimalayan region ofNepal, Bhutan andTibet.[4] The names Yetiand Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region, and are part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century.The scientific community has generally regarded the Yeti as a legend, given the lack of conclusive evidence,[5] and it remains one of the most famous creatures ofcryptozoology. In one genetic study, researchers matched DNA from hair samples found in the Himalaya with a prehistoric bear from the Pleistocene epoch.
Given the above, I think I'll just stick with my ice chest.

I just poured boiling water into both a Yeti and the Ozark and let them sit for a few hours. Temps were off by 1 degree at most. Going on 8 hours and still hot to the touch/sip.Austin, Tx

@xfire_ATX Can I ask how much and your thoughts on it?
thoughts- Its better than all other Soft Sided coolers I have/had no doubt. We have replaced two hard coolers with this one- smaller and same size. Frankly its easier to carry vs the hard ones, not sure if it holds ice any better. Like someone said earlier- its more than adequete, but for 4, 6, 8 hrs something else we all own likely works.XLBGE, LBGE, Charbroil Gas Grill, Weber Q2000, Old Weber Kettle, Rectec RT-B380, Yeti 65, Yeti Hopper 20, RTIC 20, RTIC 20 Soft Side - Too many drinkware vessels to mention.
