Do you own a Yeti cap?

OK that at least explains it, and you're in the clear so long as you don't wear it.I got a free one of these when I bought a new cooler.
And I'll even give you a pass on buying the cooler, as you very well may be part of the 0.00001% of the population that actually requires that sort of performance from a cooler.
To set the record straight, I find what that company has done with their branding to be nothing short of completely spectacular. Just balk at the lemming aspect of buying one.
I've got one, and like DTS got it with the cooler. I can fill it with ice and beverages and only have to restock the beverages over the course of weekend out on the lake. Pretty spectacular, although I think there are now other coolers that likely perform just as well for about 2/3 the cost.
I think they are really good coolers and we use ours a lot, but the cost is crazy
Met the guys who started the company in Austin and I had no idea how long they had been around. Apparently they struggled for years and the secret to their success was simple
They doubled the price and demand took off.

And I think it's in my closet. I wear my Igloo cooler cap instead. It's more ironic
I just bought a Yeti cap thanks to reading this thread. It inspired me.
I bought a couple of K2 coolers from their "dent and scratch" section and got a good deal. Basically the same as a yeti. I use them all the time. If you're going to be in and out of the cooler all day, ie drinking beer or something, other coolers work just as well. I just got tired of handles and hinges breaking on my cheap coolers when i put a quartered deer in them or other heavy stuff.
I've got 3. The roadie, a 45 and the 105. We primarily use them for hauling cattle vaccine. I figure if I'm going to a ranch for multiple days or on very hot day to work several hundred thousand dollars worth of cattle they would like to know their vaccine has been stored properly.
Edit. No Yeti hat for me though.

I got a cooler for Christmas. I would have never bought it for myself but it is nice. I don't hunt or fish so the cooling power is way overkill for my beer on the weekend. It is bear proof so any bears around downtown OKC are not getting my beer.
Starting to feel screwed I didn't get a hat.

You can compensate by buying some second hand Ed Hardy or Affliction shirts.
Believe there are more than a few cougars prowling your neck of the woods so take heart that the cooler won't totally be overkill for your beers.
I just looked up the Yeti cooler on Amazon because I had never heard of it. You gotta be F'in kidding me. You telling me that this cooler is worth a couple hundred bucks?!!?!??
I believe it to be more amazing that you have never heard of a yeti cooler more than what they cost...
There are some competitor products out now. rtic and SIC are two of them.
I have the can colster and the 30oz tumbler I got in a dirty Santa and they are amazing. The tumbler will hold ice for 24 hours easily. The can coozie is over kill cause who takes 4 hours to drink a beer but it will keep it cold for a long time. I left one in the colster in my truck for 3 hours just to test it and it was still very cold. I was impressed.
The tumblers are $50 and the colster is $30.
I hear the tumbler keeps coffee very hot as well but I don't drink coffee so I wouldn't know.

I bought all my groomsmen the 30 Oz rambler with their name engraved on it so I got myself one. On a road trip to visit in-laws I used my rambler for the first and last time to drink coffee. I filled it at a gas station and I kid you not, I had to wait over 2 hours to be able to drink it because it was just as hot as it was when it was filled. I burnt my tongue multiple times.
I'll leave it in my truck for 8+ hours outside in Texas August and get back in the truck and my water is waiting on me with ice in it.
Got the koozie this Christmas, waiting to test it out this summer at the lake or something.

I got a Yeti tumbler for Christmas and took it skiing. I kept it in the truck full of coffee all day in the single digit cold. It wasn't warm when I got done but it was not cold and drinkable.
I hope you all are happy openly flouting the laws of thermodynamics the way you are.
There will be some price to pay for this sort of thing, it's against the laws of God and man.
Man, once you hold one of these things filled with water you'll understand the insulation, they ain't light and could be used as a deadly weapon. I don't understand how people don't mind carrying them everywhere. Mine stays in the cup holder of my truck except for when I wash it in the sink every 2-3 months.
On another note, I've found myself getting drunk a lot quicker than I thought I would drinking adult beverages out of it. With that ice not melting and no dilution it'll sneak up on ya' pretty quick.
It really is evidence of entropy increasing in the universe when I can fill the darn thing up with coffee at daylight and it's still hot at lunch. I have to drink it faster which causes chaos in my mouth.
Please keep any more chaos in your mouth references to yourself.
Thanks,
The whole board
S'well bottles are also really great. I got an orange one of those a while back and use it as my extra coffee mug. I fill up my regular coffee cup then by noon I crack open that baby and it is still just as hot as if it came off the coffee pot. Does really well with keeping things cold also. I am not sure how it compares to Yeti mugs though on pricing. I drink coffee all day pretty much and my office doesn't have a coffee pot so I love these products since I can have hot coffee all day.
Shiftless may be the most underutilized and underappreciated word in our great English language.
Thank you for bringing this term back into vogue.
I have the ORCA cooler and love it! The company is based in Nashville and the cooler is built in the USA, unlike the Yeti. I believe the insulation is greater in the ORCA. http://www.orcacoolers.com/
I consider it my duty to bring up the level of discourse to you unwashed masses.
Note: another Yeti cap on display Saturday night in a prominant Addison burger joint.
I'm going to start taking pictures of these people.
That is AWESOME.
Nothing says brand acceptance like endorsements from college age hipsters.
I saw a guy in a Yeti hat the the model train show in Tulsa yesterday. First one I've seen. I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old. I don't get out mic after 6pm
