Yeti coolers?
Are they worth the high price? I have a 20 year old Coleman Extreme that holds ice for 5+ days in high 80s and 90s.

My opinion. For the occasional weekend and holiday camper no. But for the extreme outdoorsman yes. They are very good coolers but I determine need by use. I determine want by, it would be nice to have but for the money do I really need it. If money is no object get the Yeti.
I use the Yeti tumbler to keep my drinks cold. Even in 100+ weather locked in a parked car my drinks stay cold all day. The cup will be so hot I can barely hang on to it but the drink is cold and still has most off the ice remaining. Yeti makes an excellent product. I also have an RTEK tumbler....works just as well and cost less.
Well if the YouTube video's are to be believed then the $10 Walmart tumbler works better then your high priced Yeti. Couple guys I know seem to think the Walmart tumbler is just as good.
RTIC is defiantly undercutting Yeti and I would think that Yeti is going to have to change there pricing or get left behind. I got an RTIC tumbler for $10 the other day and it works well.
I have used a Yeti cooler a couple times and I wasn't all that impressed. Didn't think the cooler held ice that much better then an Igloo cooler especially for the price and the Yeti is heavy for the amount of storage.
My main issue with these high dollar cooler is they have become a theft item. No one ever gave a second look at a $30 cooler setting in the back of a truck but you don't dare leave a $300+ cooler in the back of the truck unless its secured with a cable lock.
