I always laugh when i see on forums people bash yeti as being overpriced. especially when it's gun forums, car forums, fishing/boating forums. some of the same people who will buy a dan wesson valor or whatever when a RIA gets the job done. Same people who will buy a yellowfin instead of a sea hunt (or god forbid a mako/robalo etc)when they both get the job done. same people who must have the latest generation/update of a car when a kia rio will get the job done.
obviously that doesnt apply to all who bash yeti but it does apply in some cases.
yes i own multiple yeti products, some gifts, mostly bought. yes i paid more than they're worth, i dont lose sleep over it. i'm not rich but i do like the convenience of yeti. yes you can replace cooler parts when they break, but it sure is annoying when you're in the middle of nowhere at deer camp, or down on the coast for a long weekend and the stupid hinge breaks yet again. or the handle snaps, or whatever.
if you cant afford a yeti, you probably shouldn't be on a gun forum buying guns/ammo on a regular basis bc you certainly can't afford that either.
now i did "cheap" out so to speak and bought a soft side AO cooler for my car. really interested to see how it holds up/performs. for $50 i figure if it lasts a couple years than it's all good.
