YETI Tundra 125 Cooler

The Tundra 125 is a large hard cool box for bigger trips, not a small day cooler. It suits long weekends, offshore fishing, camping with a group, events or keeping a serious food and drink load cold. If you mainly need something for one person, short picnics or quick car trips, a smaller Tundra or Roadie will be easier to handle.

Yes. This is a strong choice for the boat, pontoon or fishing trip where you need plenty of chilled storage and a cooler that can be secured. The non-slip feet help reduce movement and the tie-down slots are useful on a boat, trailer or vehicle. It is still a large, heavy cooler when packed, so plan where it will live before loading it.

Yes, it includes one removable dry goods basket. That is useful for keeping items such as sandwiches, fruit, bait packets or other fresh goods lifted away from ice and meltwater. For longer trips, it is still worth packing carefully with plenty of ice and keeping the lid closed as much as possible to help maintain cold performance.

The Tundra 125 has YETI’s Vortex drain system, so draining meltwater is straightforward without having to tip the whole cooler over. For normal cleaning, warm water and mild washing-up liquid is the practical approach after use. For heavier cleaning, use a diluted warm water and bleach mix, then rinse and dry properly before storage. See our YETI cleaning guide for more detailed care advice.

It is built for longer cold storage, with thick insulated walls and lid, a close-fitting lid system and a freezer-style gasket. Real-world ice retention still depends on how it is packed, how often it is opened, how much ice is used and whether it sits in direct sun. Pre-chilling the cooler and using quality ice will make a noticeable difference.
