YETI Coolers

YETI® coolers are built to keep food and drink cold for longer, whether you are heading to the beach, packing for a camping trip, planning a BBQ or just want a cool box that will genuinely last. Known for over-engineered construction and dependable insulation, YETI has created a range of hard cool boxes and soft cooler bags that handle real outdoor use without fuss.

Leakproof, waterproof and easy to carry, the collection includes YETI cool boxes and YETI cooler bags to suit different loads and occasions. Popular models include the YETI Roadie 24 Cooler, Tundra 35 and Tundra 45, available in a range of colours. They cost more than a standard cool box, but most people who own one never go back.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a hard cooler and a soft cooler?

Hard coolers are built for maximum ice retention and durability, so they’re ideal for longer trips, boating, or when you need things to stay cold for days. YETI soft coolers are lighter, easier to carry, and better suited to day trips, packed lunches, or shorter outings. Most people end up using both depending on the occasion.

Are YETI coolers worth it?

If you’re using them regularly, absolutely. They’re designed to last, hold ice properly, and cope with real-world use, whether that’s days on the water, camping holidays or a festival trip. We’ve seen plenty of customers move over from cheaper cool boxes after getting fed up with them losing their chill halfway through the day.

Why are YETI coolers more expensive than standard cool boxes?

It comes down to materials and construction. YETI coolers use thick insulation, heavy-duty components, and a much more robust build than standard plastic cool boxes or cheap cool bags. That’s what gives them their ice retention and durability, but it also means they’re built more like equipment than something disposable.

Which YETI cooler should I choose?

It really depends on how you plan to use it. For longer trips or time on the boat, a hard cooler is usually the better option. For day-to-day use, beach trips, or packed lunches, a soft cooler tends to be more practical. If you’re unsure, our guide to The Best YETI Cool Boxes is a good place to start.

How long do YETI coolers keep things cold?

That depends on the type of cooler and how it’s packed, but in general, hard coolers will keep ice for several days, while soft coolers are designed for shorter trips. Pre-chilling, using enough ice, and keeping the lid closed all make a noticeable difference.

Do I need ice packs, or just ice?

You can use either, but a combination tends to work best. Regular ice brings the temperature down quickly, while ice packs help keep things cold for longer. YETI Ice is designed to sit alongside standard ice and extend how long everything stays chilled.
