BunnysBastatrds 1,914 Posted February 16, 2016 A buddy bought me a YETI coozie for Christmas. He paid $30 bucks for it. He also paid $300 for a thirty quart ice chest. Any of you Fawkers pay that much for an ice chest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted February 16, 2016 No but Iv heard good things. If I was getting a cooler I would prob spring for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted February 16, 2016 Nope. No sense in buying a cooler like that if all you're using it for is going to the beach, going fishing, or need a cooler for beer during parties or the pool. A normal one will do just fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,083 Posted February 16, 2016 I don't spend days upon days out in the wilderness or stranded on an island so.....No. Nor does it take me 6 hours to drink a single beer so....No. And I'm not a 'cheap' person, I like nice things. But I'm not a frivolous dummy who falls for the latest marketing campaign or whats trendy all the time either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mungwater 588 Posted February 16, 2016 Someone gave me a yeti tumbler for Christmas. It's good, keeps water cold a long time, best thing is it doesn't swear, which I'm sure you can get from other cups. I don't know if it's worth the price though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patweisers44 697 Posted February 16, 2016 I was given a yeti can cooler for Christmas and its awesome. As far as the full sized coolers go, they are a top of the line product. I am not a big fisherman, at least not where I need a cooler of ice, but from what I read there are similar products at half the price. I think Pelican might be one of the brand names, but I am not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted February 16, 2016 I spend 30-40 hours offshore a couple times a summer. I have found that a high end igloo works just as well and they only cost 100-150 dollars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted February 17, 2016 The thing is, everything scales that way. You have crap at the bottom and quality at the top but its not a linear price difference. The better quality you go, the less you get for the money. Theres always a sweet spot wich is usually not that high from the bottom. Anything above is paying for brands and labels. Take wine. The difference between a $4 bottle and a $40 bottle will be pretty big. But the difference between a $40 and a $400 bottle will be negligible at best.

Cruzer 1,992 Posted April 5, 2018 I could buy a pair of new golf shoes, a wedge & a dozen balls - and still have $$ left over for a regular 30 qrt. ice chest.. No way I'd spend $300 for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drizzay 645 Posted April 5, 2018 I have the 30oz mug. If I fill it up with ice/water and let it sit on the counter overnight, there is still ice the next morning. It does wonders when i am out in the yard working during the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any of you Fawkers pay that much for an ice chest? Own multiple items. I'm very happy with them all. Here's the deal...I'll never need another cooler AND they work to perfection. I question why one wouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 719 Posted April 6, 2018 I have a tumbler. It's great. Keeps drinks cold all day long. I wouldn't pay for it though, it was a gift.Have a yeti, Ozark Trail (wal mart version) and an RTIC in the house. There is zero difference between them as far as how long Ive stays in the tumblers. They are all great.We Use them on our drives to Wisconsin for water. Have a can cookie for me that is the wal mart one and wife has an RTIC one and they are great too for cans or bottles. Cooler O have no need for one. One of the moms in my sons Boy Scout troop hasnt one and its great for weekend campaign by trips. Most dont need them and its almost a status thing for travel sports moms and dads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
